Snapdragon Vs Exynos Variants
Fans have always wanted Snapdragon variants rather than not so preferable Exynos variants of Samsung Galaxy flagship lineups. The American SoC is proven to be better than the South Korean one in terms of thermal management & power efficiency in the past Galaxy Flagship phones. Also, the trust & popularity of the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset has out shadowed the Exynos chipset on several occasions.
That doesn’t mean Exynos chipset is bad. The actual life usage between the two variants is not drastically different. The Exynos 2100 nearly came equal to power & performance but Snapdragon 888 took a major lead with its GPU & better battery life. Well, the Exynos 2200 with AMD’s RDNA2 GPU graphics might be a game-changer with powerful GPU than Adreno 730 of the 8 Gen 1.
