The Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is way better than the Exynos
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset is miles better than the Exynos 2200 variant. Read our comparison!
Samsung updates its flagship lineup of smartphones yearly, and every year, there's always one contentious issue: which is better, Snapdragon or Exynos? Exynos is the company's in-house chipset that powers some of its phones every year, though nearly always, Europe is the one region guaranteed to get an Exynos chip. The U.S. tends to get a Snapdragon chip, and then it's a toss-up in all of the other regions what chipset they'll get. This year, India got a Snapdragon chip for the first time in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, and like clockwork, Europe got Exynos.
The retail Galaxy S22 Ultra with Exynos has performance and display issues
The retail Samsung Galaxy S22 with Exynos has performance and display issues, as we experienced on our purchased unit in Europe.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is the flavor of the month, as it is Samsung's biggest mainstream launch for this year. We have had our hands on a Galaxy S22 Ultra review unit in the U.S., and retail units have just recently begun to ship in parts of the world. Users in North America, South America, Africa, and India get Snapdragon variants of Samsung's latest flagship series, while European consumers (and some select Asian markets) are getting Exynos chipsets in their phones. Apart from the chips, everything else in the phones are identical, but this chip variance can have material effects on the user experience. As more and more users are getting their hands on the device, it is becoming clear that the Exynos Galaxy S22 series has some issues, specifically with performance and with the display on the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Netflix adds support for the Exynos 2200, the chipset powering the Galaxy S22 series
Netflix has updated its list of compatible chipsets with the addition of the Exynos 2200, the chipset which is all but confirmed to power the Galaxy S22 lineup.
We’re not too far away from Samsung’s first 2022 flagship smartphone lineup. From design and full specifications to potential pricing, the steady stream of leaks over the past months have left little to the imagination about the Galaxy S22 series. Now Netflix has also seemingly confirmed a key detail about the lineup.
Samsung announces the new Exynos 2200 SoC with Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU
Samsung has finally announced the new Exynos 2200 SoC with the new AMD RDNA 2-based Xclipse 920 GPU. Check out all of its features!
The launch of a new chip is a big event in the smartphone space. Unlike phones that can be designed, manufactured, and sold by a number of OEMs, phone SoCs are limited to a handful of players, and even fewer of them compete in the flagship space. These flagship SoCs define the very competition expected in the year, laying the groundwork for feature sets that we can expect to see in our next Android flagship. Samsung has now finally announced the new Exynos 2200 SoC with the Xclipse 920 GPU, which will give tough competition to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
