      Snapdragon is superior.

        Bigmeme, 14 Feb 2021Would still choose SD 888 just because of the GPULOL 😂, The Adreno vs Mali GPU argument alone isn’t a reason to buy the Snapdragon variant of the S21 Ultra

            Open the camera and you will see exynos draining

              We still don't have enough battery stamina to run Genshin Impact long enough to play. We are still a couple generations away. And most phones just can't handle it smoothly.

                Shanti Dope, 14 Feb 2021If it's reported by more than 30 people using the same... moreHmm..maybe some particular units having problem,have to check if its overall problem on every phone...on the other hand in every battery test,results were same apparently

                  I'm still curious about how much battery life this can get at 1080P 60hz. C'mon, show us.

                    Exynos 2100 is not custom core like Moogose, but standard ARM instructions, or else it would be a much better SOC than Snapdragon.

                      Would still choose SD 888 just because of the GPU

                        AnonD-964130, 14 Feb 2021These are fake ,haters posting it...You understand those are real owner that post on official website right? Unlike gsmarena people like you can comment without a Samsung device.

                          AnonD-964130, 14 Feb 2021These are fake ,haters posting it...Keep it in mind that the tests conducted by GSMArena (3G call, browsing and video playback) are barely processor taxing. Playing games or running heavier apps are when you start seeing significant difference in power consumption/heat, hence battery life as well.

                            AnonD-964130, 14 Feb 2021These are fake ,haters posting it...If it's reported by more than 30 people using the same exact variant, all coming with the same problem and even come with appropriate screenshots for validity, then it's definitely a real issue.

                            Samsung haters will mostly be messing around in other platforms, such as in YouTube comments, articles related to Samsung, Samsung's Official SocMed sites, etc., but definitely NOT on a forum where the real owners give their honest feedback for Samsung to address.

                              GadgetIn, 14 Feb 2021If exynos continue to improve, then this is an great start.... moreNot that the SD888 was barely an improvement over the SD865+, but rather Samsung just made a horrible 2020 Exynos flagship SoC last year, which lowered the bare minimum standard for a premium flagship from Samsung.

                              It's not that Exynos has drastically improved, rather it just went back to how it's supposed to be done properly.

                                sohail shafayat, 14 Feb 2021after 6 months Exynos 2100's efficiency and performanc... moreyea sure mr chip expert.

                                  after 6 months Exynos 2100's efficiency and performance will decrease by 10%-20% while the SD888 will remain almost the same or decrease by max 5% after one year.

                                    Nice battery stats. But why is my S20 Ultra Exynos have mediocre battery life?

                                        I have read articles from Asia that difference in favor of SD was up to 20-25%.
