Exynos 2100 edges out the Snapdragon 888 in a Galaxy S21 Ultra battery test

03 February 2021
The power consumption of the big cores pointed to Qualcomm having the more efficient chip, but that may not be the case after all.

P C M, 03 Feb 2021It's called thermal solution. Samsung device runs cool... moreApple run coolest coz the chipset throttles.
They set a particular temperature in software where beyond that performance drops to keep device cool. Screen also dims to keep performance cool.
That's not good thermal solution, that's thermal throttling dear friend

    Also Samsung doesn't do benchmark cheating. That's why it post lower score on benchmark.
    You can watch the youtube videos with temp.
    Technick would be a nice startup suggestion from me.

My S20 FE 5G did have good system performance, but I was shocked to find out it throttled quickly. Sure, the battery efficiency is really good but it could deliver better sustained performance.

                Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Too bad Exynos has subpar signal strength compared to SD. Actually it's the opposite. I go places with very poor cellular network and most of the time I've found Exynos to perform better than other SoCs.

So, if they can show better performance initially people will think it has same performance for the rest of the percentage and that's what it should have been.

                    That's not normal. Only a faulty device should act like that.
                    If it's new the manufacturer is doing that on purpose.

                      Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Too bad Exynos has subpar signal strength compared to SD. please give proof

                        On par or not, they both have poor battery life. I laughed so hard when they lost 3% of charge after the screen being on for 10 minutes with the device being on airplane mode and not being used. Abysmal

                              Samsung cant win. They did well with Exynos 2100.
