Nevertheless, there is a big difference in energy usage. To be clear, some of this is contributed to by other factors of the phone such as the screen. This means that in long-term usage, the Exynos 2200 device will have reduced battery life when under load. That is a massive difference in power consumption and shows how inefficient the Exynos chipset can be. I was shocked to find that with the screen on its lowest brightness on both devices, at the peak of the test, the Exynos variant and the Snapdragon variant drained 11.84W and 7.76W respectively. I was able to measure the peak power consumption of both of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra devices in my possession while running the CPU Throttling Test. Keep in mind as well that, at least according to renowned leaker Max Jambor, Samsung is aware of the performance problems that Exynos devices are currently facing.

I’ve even seen some users saying that it has gotten worse since the most recent update. Since publishing our article, I’ve had numerous consumers reach out to me on Twitter to say that they have had similar performance problems on their Exynos-based S22 units. There were display flickering issues that have since been fixed, and performance problems too. This year, India got a Snapdragon chip for the first time in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, and like clockwork, Europe got Exynos.Īs we’ve noted, it appears that retail units of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have some major problems. tends to get a Snapdragon chip, and then it’s a toss-up in all of the other regions what chipset they’ll get. 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.
