It fails everything people buy flagships for

It IS a bad deal. If what you want is gaming better buy S10 Lite as it has SD855 in it in all regions

    Anonymous, 08 Apr 2020Blindly hating again, exynos 990 uses more power than SD 86... moreDude.

    1 hour gaming:
    Snapdragon: is locked 60fps
    Exynos: 27-33fps (inconsistent and lags)

    The temparature of the Soc after a 3 benchmark tests run in a row:
    Snapdragon: 43 degrees celcius
    Exynos: 66 degrees celcius

    Battery life: snapdragon has %15 extra at worst.

    Camera: all big tech youtubers I have seen said the snapdragon took it better, also showed us the pictures. "But notebookcheck said-" go look at multiple sources mate

        Kriegsherr, 08 Apr 2020I show you an example. when in a class the first gets 3.9/4... moreBut dude.... exynos didnt get 3.8 it got 3.0

              They lied with the glass screen on the Z Flip Phone so ofc they will lie with this too.

                Anonymous, 08 Apr 2020Blindly hating again, exynos 990 uses more power than SD 86... moreLet's forget the performance, and assume that the Exynos version will provide enough power for most users (even though the Snapdragon version clearly is much ahead).

                https://www.phonearena.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s20-snapdragon-865-exynos-990-battery-benchmarks_id123242

                "up to 25% longer battery life of Galaxy S20 Ultra Snapdragon 865 vs Exynos 990 in 60Hz display mode"

                "up to 27% longer battery life of Galaxy S20 Ultra Snapdragon 865 vs Exynos 990 in 120Hz display mode"

                The difference is big enough to consider the Exynos variant "a generation older" SoC.
                New SoCs normally don't offer that big of an upgrade to previous SoCs, but this is clearly a significant difference that needs to be highlighted.
                Given these benchmark results, I could tell that even the Dimensity 1000 would be even better than the Exynos 990, since it "less weaker" to the Snapdragon 865 than the E990 is.

                  X41, 08 Apr 2020I feel for those who spend $1400 on an "exynos" chip thinki... moreYeah they got their a*sses handed to them by Samsung who once again s*cammed it's customers.

                      Einstein said that there are only 2 things that are infinite:
                      1. The Universe
                      2. Mankind stupidity

                      This S20 Ultra news is an example of the infinite human stupidity.

The fact that they heavily advertise their camera, and then having it unable to focus properly is just ridiculous considering their audacity to slap a massive price tag and how frequent they shove the ad down our throat

                              Anonymous, 08 Apr 2020The S20 ultra is not impressive in your eyes, I have this p... moreOf course you'd say that because you own it. We don't expect you to say that the iPhone 11 Pro Max has better cameras because you bought the S20 Ultra.
                              I have personally tried the S20 Ultra Exynos myself in the nearest Samsung store in my location, and at best, I don't see anything ground-breaking with it. I'm far more impressed with the display (mainly for the higher refresh rate, which I'm not used to seeing in a daily basis) than the camera system itself.
                              The personnel there asked me to capture a tiny text within a wall that's about 3 feet away from where I was standing, and use the 100x Space Zoom of the S20 Ultra, and see if I could read it. Guess what, with the phone's screen set to QHD+, I couldn't read the messy text at all, and I had to interpret it myself by guessing what it appears to be based on how the letters look like, and apparently I got it right.

                              It only goes to show how unpolished the phone really is at this point. This is clearly a desperate move by Samsung against their Chinese competitors that are seemingly doing far better job at progressing in technology, and more so in doing things successfully.
                              Accept it or not, the Galaxy S10 series was by far more amazing than the Galaxy S20 series.

I wrote "probably" and if you think about it, it's pretty much possible since heat is what's causing burn in. It doesn't have to be but it will increase the chance of it. If not burn in, you panel will likely age faster and lose more brightness compared to it's snapdragon counterpart. Of course that wouldn't happen if the heat was dissipated through the back glass.

It has always been like this for many generations of S and Note models. If they didn't sell one with Snapdragon, you could call it weak. But they do sell them and comparing the Exynos you can't call it anything but garbage. There is no excuse for this scam Samsung is continuously pulling. You will most definitely notice the battery drain on Exynos even if you don't "stress" the SoC. It runs hot to begin with, no need to "stress" it really.

                                    you do have a good point there.

And for your informations, it heats during heavy load, so does the snapdragon version.
                                      For the first time I hear that the minor heat will cause burn in, can you give a proof?

Being 'Garbage' and 'Bad Deal' are two different things. People in Europe and some parts of the world are paying more for less but that doesn't mean the Exynos chipset is garbage. People buy phone considering many things (SoC, RAM, Display, look, size, Memory/Card slot) and a lot of user won't even stress the exynos inside their phone.
                                        Samsung displays are the best OLEDs in the business and they are pretty good for two years before they show burn in. Don't show an example of some customer in Myanmar or Samoa who saw it within two months. people who buys 1400 euro phones more likely wont use it more than a year or two.
                                        there is no harm in knowing your terms, situations and facts right.
