      Also In my previous comment I've posted a real life battery drain test where is proved to be the otherwise with Qualcomm draining more battery than Exynos.

          Exynos 2200 does have better sustained performance, but considering that it has a way lower frame rate than 8 gen 1 just makes it unacceptable.

            Also, Exynos may have better sustained performance but at a way lower frame rate that basically makes it unacceptable.

                  Is the otherwise, Qualcomm 8 gen 1 couldn't and still can't beat Exynos 2200, check efficiency tests, geekbench scores in single, multicore, vulkan and open Cl score.

The 8+ Gen 1 should have been the one in the S22.
                          I want the Exynos to succeed but so far it has been disappointing so they better make sure it's miles ahead of SD before even talking about going after Apple."
                          Are you sure? Qualcomm 8 gen 1 still worse than Exynos, in performance and effiency.
                          The Exynos 2200 is good on the S22.

                                    Well its good Samsung is trying but if they wanted to be so cool they would release this series of phones with this 2x Mode like with every other camera update which should already come with a phone when it was released.

                                      Are they going to do something with 50mp mode post processing too? It was making really weird things even in a little bit more complicated light conditions indoors while I was testing it. If they could solve that, then this phone would be finally worth its price.
