21 February 2021
We did some torture testing on the two variants, just to see which one holds-up better under sustained load.

Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia (except China and maybe SK) and Oceania have exynos at higher price compared to snapdragon variant sold in USA/Canada.

At least should be cheaper.

    Exynos curse was not cured this time.
    Hopefully a new generation with AMD won't be a typical flop.

      Seeing that thermal throttling hurts heavily both options... stick with Snapdragon 865 with decent cooling solution or even more... the 870.

        Let's hope that the next Exynos 2200 will fix these performance woes; But, I'm impressed with Samsung's efforts!

        At least this isn't like last year when the Exynos 990 was actually comparable with the 2018 Snapdragon 855!

          thx for the clarification gsmarena, long story short snapdragon rulezzz for gamers and tech enthusiastics.

            Sincerely, I am starting to think that tech sites really don't have that many news to talk about until MWC and the best they can do is to post some other thing about the Exynos vs. Snapdragon saga each and every week.

                Exynos is far behind on daily performance! But, we all knew that already... Exynos even have gpu problems, on random times under gaming.

                  And they still forces customers to buy their Exynos variant for the same price except US customers.smh!

                    I prefer using Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G ...
                    Exynos lags at times
