                Android-Authority, 20 Feb 2021 You can't digest the fact that Galaxy S21 Ultra and ... moreAnd you also haven’t answered my question. Why are you expecting a phone that is capable of running that game with the highest frames if you’re not a frequent gamer yourself?

                The common buyers know that Samsung and Apple phones are not designed for gaming, but that doesn’t mean there should be a huge performance gap between better performing phones using an identical or same level chipset, unless we’re talking about dedicated gaming phones.

                Golden Reviewer videos are already debunked as a fraud, at least by Gary Explains from Android Authority. That guy is not running the phones in ideal conditions no matter if he bought the phones with his money, even MrWhoseTheBoss which is not exactly reliable purchases almost all phones but OnePlus with his revenue. Only his SPECint videos can be trusted.

                You do make a GsmA account just to bash Apple in every post. What’s better is that if you drop your Facebook or some social media account name (real account) and start talking instead in GsmA. Don’t keep making excuses.

                  Now I run it at 1080p@120Hz and it gives me 9-9.5hr SOT.
                  That 4k panel on Xperia 1 II is a battery hog.

                      Android-Authority, 19 Feb 2021Sony panel is extremely dim compared to the MI 11. This ma... moreresolution of screen is biggest factor.
                      look how 5ii even at 120Hz mode lasts more than 1ii.

                      Look the difference between mi 10 and mi11 tests.
                      S20 FE with exynos 990 scores 110h (120Hz) and 118h(60Hz).

                        You can't digest the fact that Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 pro Max can't get above 45fps average while other phones can. This is why you keep running around in circles asking the same question again and again. My answer isn't gonna change.

                        "Instead of just making statements up better support your claims. You're just trolling here as usual."

                        Maybe read my previous post again thoroughly, I have already answered your question.
                        I don't need some guy who can't even make a real account tell me what to do with money.
                        Should have listened to those anonymous guys exposing you as a tr^ll. Don't bother replying to me unless you make a real account.

                          Android-Authority, 20 Feb 2021The game isn't poorly optimized. ROG 3, Mi 10 ultra, H... moreClearly you don't know how the game's optimisation changed, hence I can now verify that you are just putting up some Youtube tech statements and only trying to give bad impression Samsung and Apple as per your other comments in other posts.

                          I have played the game since the second week of launch. At version 1.0, there were not much issues with the game. My Samsung used to run at high (not highest) settings 30 frames without frame drops, at least for half an hour gameplay. There were not many bugs to start with. Same applies for my iPhone 11 where it can run at the highest, 30 despite getting very warm (because it lacks cooling). The iPhone 12 clearly had OS issues initially and hence the throttling, where many games would just stutter here and there.

                          Only then after 1.2 (Dragonspine map update) I have noticed that the game does not run normally as usual in any of my phones. Don't blame the lack of cooling, because I visited the Genshin forums in Facebook and also noticed many players having the same issue. It used to be that players with lower end chipset/phones (ex. Redmi Note 8 w/ SD 665) were able to play the game, nowadays it will just glitch and get very hot when their device specs meets the requirements. This is not fixed in 1.3.

                          I don't get the reason why you bought a Samsung S21 Ultra if you are only planning to play that single game, if you are not even a frequent gamer. Yes I am aware of the video recording issues. Don't think the SD version of the S21 Ultra is going to perform a lot better aside from cameras, just try it.

                          Instead of just making statements up better support your claims. You're just trolling here as usual.

                            MrDong, 20 Feb 2021Actually if you watch some teardown videos Samsung does ind... moreThe game isn't poorly optimized. ROG 3, Mi 10 ultra, Huawei Mate 40 Pro, all are running fine and giving 55fps and above.
                            Samsung Exynos and Apple A14 clearly throttling because of lack of adequate cooling.
                            COD and Pub G aren't that demanding as Genshin Impact.

                            "Also no point of selling a S21 Ultra only because of that single game. You can’t be serious at all. Then what phone did you switch to?"

                            If Snapdragon 865 can perform better than Exynos 2100 because of Exynos gpu throttling, then I don't feel worth spending on a Exynos model. I'll happily wait for some Snapdragon 888 device. I also mentioned how video recording was terrible for whatever reasons and photo quality inferior in many cases to my wife's mi 10 ultra. Add to that slow battery charging times, I just didn't feel justified in giving €1250 to Samsung for that, consequently returned the phone.
                            I am still currently on my previous Samsung Galaxy flagship. After the good reviews of MI 11, I am waiting for Mi 11 pro or the MI 11 Ultra.

                            "Still not answering my question which adventure rank are you and the characters you own so at least I can verify the validity of your statement."

                            I already told you that I am not much of a gamer, let alone playing Genshin Impact regularly. I just fired up the game on the new device since it is the most demanding title on playstore. Was excited to see how Exynos 2100 handles the most demanding game on playstore. Was dissapointed. If I am buying a flagship, I expect a flagship. People like you can be okay with compromises which is why you love the iPhone so much, I don't need to make those compromises son.

                              YUKI93, 20 Feb 2021I don't really think panel brightness matters a lot. T... moreThat's coz it has variable refresh rate and can go as low as 10hz to save battery.

                                So where are the faux leather, and 12gb ram versions.?

                                Are the global phones even getting this. 🤔

The Samsung S21 Ultra's screen panel is way brighter than this Xiaomi, and yet it can sip the battery juice very well.

                                    So battery life on 5g will be almost useless for 2021 specs..

                                      Amazing build quality and premium looks.

                                        So in summary:
                                        -One of the highest grade 120Hz OLED display with amazing colour calibration
                                        -Middling battery life despite large battery capacity
                                        -A very capable SoC but GPU overheats quickly
                                        -Good looking, functional UI
                                        -Good daylight & great low light cameras with mature processing, but not very versatile
                                        -8K video shows compression artifacts and low light mode in video recording is a let down because it's locked at 1080p, otherwise great video recording capability
