Letrix, 29 Feb 2020Probably, in those markets, Exynos helps by being cheapper ... moreDifferent prices are only affected by import tax, not the price of the handset itself.
In my country, Asus ROG Phone 2/realme X2 Pro are rather cheap. They cost less than half the price of a S20+ or iPhone 11 Pro. And they're equipped with Sd855+ chipsets. The X2 Pro also takes nice shots according to my friend who owns the base (8GB RAM) model.
Using Exynos does not make handset prices cheaper, it only profits Samsung. And you know that chipset bottlenecks gaming, application, and camera performance seriously. Apple is no longer the biggest cheat in the mobile industry. Samsung is. Let's just wait for iPhone 12 Pro, Oppo Reno3 Pro, and Mi 10 Pro to crush S20 into pieces xD

Flgshp2020, 29 Feb 2020Throttles after continuous usage and can't push any frames ... morePat yourself in the back.
iPhone 11 can actually manage HDR Extreme (60fps) in PUBG Mobile without any overheating or stuttering. COD Mobile can also play at Very High graphics extreme framerate (60fps) and antialiasing without lag. BR Mode works fine, maybe just a few frame drops but it's not noticeable or disrupting. Zombie mode works great and no frame drops observed at all.
Even recent Note 10 Exynos can't manage Balanced Extreme in PUBG Mobile without any stuttering or overheating. Oh Samsung advertised COD Mobile in its Note 10. Unfortunately gaming performance is garbage. Can't even play either Zombie or BR mode smoothly at very high graphics and framerate, just stutters a lot and overheats.
Go defend your rubbish Sammy phone. I am sure Mi 10 Pro will crush S20 and S20+. Next iPhone 12 Pro will also trample S20 and even Note 20. Exynos and OneUI combined is a disaster.

Anonymous, 01 Mar 2020Wait till ultra retail unit it’s faster than note 10 plus.Retail unit or not, check the chipset.
Even a non-retail version Snapdragon version can be a lot faster than the Exynos retail one.
Of course there are likely optimizations (software update) that can marginally improve performance, but it's the chipset to take account of after all

But at least Apple and Snapdragon chipsets doesn't throttle as early as Exynos does.

AnonD-919531, 01 Mar 2020Who gives a stuff about Benchmarks?? Means nothingYes you're right, no one cares about benchmarks. Gaming phones should theoretically beat any standard phone including Apple's iPhone if benchmarks didn't lie.
That guy never used a Samsung with Exynos SoC. Even my S10 Exynos stutters a lot in PUBG Mobile at balanced extreme (and then heats up a lot). Throttling is almost instant in Exynos chips. I mean, how can undemanding games such as Armed Heist or Pixel Gun also stutter at first few minutes of gameplay? Funny isn't it? Already set screen res to HD, turned off CPU Limiter, and tweaked Game Tools performance and didn't help a lot.
Current phones and even 2018 iPhone XR/XS can play at very high settings. iPhone XR can already play PUBG Mobile at HDR Extreme (without antialiasing to prevent overheat), which was the chart topper excluding gaming phones. Also that phone was also used by streamers and competitive gamers by quite a lot in my country. Asus ROG Phone 2 is also used a lot but that's a gaming phone so let's ignore it.
Exynos chips also provide mediocre battery life and weak camera performance. iPhone XS with smaller battery has the same life as 3400 MAh S10...
Exynos is just rubbish. Don't rely on benchmarks. Especially Antutu that prioritizes Chinese phones and strangely the ROG Phone didn't top up the chart.

In practice I would barely use a night mode, which takes more than 3 seconds. I have a Pixel 3a and the handheld night mode can take up to 7 seconds. That's annoying.
By default a night mode shouldn't take longer than 1s in my opinion, but there should be at least an option for a longer total exposure time.

The low light dynamic range of the S20 Ultra seems to be excellent and probably the best on the market. Though the night mode images are extremely oversharpened and the colors can look a bit artificial sometimes.
