It’s due to poor optimisation of the game that causes the Samsung to have issues. I am a member of some Genshin groups, just check players complaining despite having a high end device. Almost all phones but those from Xiaomi (even a phone like Realme X50 Pro has issues and not all Mi phones) has issues. Then why is mine having a screen glitch? It’s obvious that the developers do not support the graphics.
I have decided to test the phone in other demanding games, or older titles but at highest settings. PUBG and COD Mobile will run at highest settings locked at 60 frames without any heat build up. Bright Memory Mobile does not have issues as well. Shadowgun Legends, which is very demanding, also runs well most of the time. Only few frame dips but mostly smooth overall.
If a game does not run well on a phone you cannot say that game is demanding. Think of Cyberpunk 2077. That game has good visuals and is requires high specs. Unfortunately this game is buggy here and there including graphics. This is why many people do not benchmark PC with this game and use something else more highly optimised, ex. Shadow of the Tomb Raider (very popular).
I also checked Gary Explains video about the A14 throttling test and the A14 almost doesn’t throttle whereas last iPhone 11 Pro Max with A13 throttles 15%. Last 2 years I have complained about the Speed Test G being biased but some people in GsmA insisted to me. Now that the iPhone leads they now blame the benchmark. Silly, as soon as an iPhone leads in anything they call it a biased test. 😀 I have checked other videos in that channel and most of them are very reliable.
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? 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.

MrDong, 18 Feb 2021Sounds like you watch Golden Reviewer Youtube videos and li... moreI tested the phone myself. I don't play games much. Decided to run Genshin Impact since it is one of the most demanding titles. Exynos 2100 being a flagship chip should run it fine. Got 30-35fps at certain stages of the game and was dissapointed. Ran the same game on my wife's mi 10 ultra, it was getting 55fps and above average. Next gen chip shouldn't be struggling compared to the Snapdragon 865. Then looked up online and found that Snapdragon 888 has much better performance. Exynos scr€wed up again. The video recording was also terrible for whatever reasons. I have used Samsung flagships in the past exclusively, Samsung used to be the best at video recording. For whatever reasons, they couldn't optimize it on their own homegrown chip this year. I expected more from a phone that cost me €1250. Returned it and now I am waiting to buy something with the Snapdragon 888.
"My phone is using Snapdragon 865 and not Exynos 990."
Read my post again, I said Galaxy S20 FE 5g. The 5g is exclusive to Snapdragon version.
The reason why your Galaxy S20 FE with Snapdragon 865 gave low fps is because Samsung doesn't put any cooling on it. The chip is capable to give solid 60fps. They have to pair it with proper cooling. Same for the A14, it drops to 45fps average because of lack of cooling. If Apple implemented proper cooling, it would have maintained 60fps,but it doesn't in real life.
Who cares about Gary Sims or some benchmark? The phone is behind in fps.
I gave the example of wildfire benchmark to demonstrate how these benchmarks mean nothing and despite IPhone beating every other chip in benchmarks, it is struggling to go beyond 45fps because of thermal throttling. Why is there thermal throttling you ask? Because they cheapened out on the cooling. Wow what a premium brand!!!
"I remembered the statement that you hyped the S21 Ultra so much just because it was rumoured to score 800k in Antutu"
Well I was hyped up for the Exynos 2100 chip. It should have scored 800k as Snapdragon 888 is already scoring 740k. Unfortunately, Samsung dissapointed again this year.

I forgot to talk about the battery life in my earlier comment. You could say that the Mi 11 didn't score a good endurance battery life rating mainly because of a much higher 1440p display, and I might agree with that. I could have compared it to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, but it has a bigger 5,000mAh battery so that is a bit unfair.
But you know what I found it really ironic? The Sony Xperia 1 ii, with a much smaller 4,000mAh battery and a full-on 4K screen with a static 60Hz screen refresh rate, managed to score just about the same endurance battery life as the Mi 11 also in 60Hz screen refresh rate mode. It does make me wonder if there is a battery optimization issue going on either from the chipset or from the MIUI or from both of them. For a phone with a QHD+ display and a large battery not going way further than a phone with a 4K display and a small battery, there is definitely a problem going on here.

I was looking forward to the mi11 but then I took a punt on the X50 pro as the Valentine's sales event knocked £210 off the price and I have to say so far I'm very impressed with it, especially considering I got it for roughly half the price I would have paid for the Mi11.

Aft... moreif battery life is your main concern never ever buy flagships (or to be exact phones with flagship chips, like said s20fe). these chips eat through ur battery in return for opening apps 0.1s faster and holding 2 more apps in memory
Id say low end phones are great for battery but if you still need performance mid rangers are the best compromise

In specification table battery score should be 81h (120Hz) not 89h (60Hz). In Galaxy S20 FE 5G and Galaxy s21 specification you posted endurance data for 120Hz (s20 fe) and adaptive (s21, in review you didn't even check endurance for 60Hz).
So it's "a bit" not transparent and quite in favor for Mi 11 and SD888.
It doesn't look good for impartiality of GSM Arena (putting higher number in comparision charts, because, be honest, 81 hours is tragically low).
And seriously - 81h (Mi 11) compared to 110h (s20 fe 5G with SD865) and 93h (s21 exynos 2100)?!?!
Something is really wrong here for SD888 and Mi11...

Anututu made a statement on his site saying that the results obtained on different operating systems are not comparable.
