Galaxy S22: Snapdragon vs. Exynos Speed & Battery Test

We test both the speed and battery performance on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 variants of the Samsung Galaxy S22.

TEST OBSERVATIONS:
- During the speed test trials, we noticed that the animations stuttered a bit more on the Exynos variant (although this didn't technically affect speed).
- Battery indicators are only estimates. Sometimes 1% lasts 30 minutes and sometimes 3% lasts 30 seconds.

TEST NOTES:
- Screens were calibrated to 200 nits with auto-brightness turned off.
- Speakers calibrated to the same decibel count.
- Tested within equal distance of a mini cell tower.
- Tested in a temperature controlled environment.

Galaxy S22: Snapdragon vs. Exynos Speed & Battery Test

Instead of making 2 videos as battery and speed. He made it One ☝🏼
Gud decision. Does have a benefit. I hope every youtube videos were like this instead of too much seperate videos

[reykoranteng]

The funny thing is that the FE variants of phones have snapdragons even here in the EU, making them better (at least in this aspect) than the non-FE

I remember what beast of a chip the Exynos 7420 was in the S6 series, even faster than Apple's offerings at that time. Now no one wants to buy the Exynos version, what a fall from grace.

The design of the s22 is so pleasing to look at. Punch hole, uniform THIN bezels, I am absolutely loving how it looks

[papierkorbknackwurst]

I noticed the same thing with my s22 (exynos), from about 7% the battery was suddenly empty very quickly

[mikolajwojnicki]

I would love to see an Exynos vs Exynos test to see how much variance there might be even on an identical phone.

[michaelnyariki]

love all your videos. Have you ever thought of doing mid ranged smartphones?

[youtindia]

I don't think Alto's Adventure is a meaningful test as it's a simple 2D side scrolling game. It doesn't even have 3D elements to tax the components. Load up something 3D like COD Mobile maybe and you'll see a significant difference between the two.
Consider changing the game you use in the gaming test section as both phones are more than capable of maxing out those screen fps with only 10-20% GPU usage, so not really a test per se.

Simply can't imagine the amount of time and effort u had to pour in to make this video, hats off buddy and keep up the hard work! U earned yourself a sub and hopefully many more to come 😃

[_observado]

This battery life surprised me in a way considering the size of the battery for those chips

[randomized]

Finally this is the video we all looking for!

[David-qpbq]

A bit late sir, but us Britons certainly appreciate the test

[Lukas]

I also had the problem that animations were jerky and it was kind of slow on the exynos. The problems have been solved with the update (June patch).

[DeepteshLovesTECH]

You are right. Infact the Exynos 2100 crushes the 2200 in Adobe Rush. So RIP Exynos. We can already see Snapdragon is being used in most countries from now on!! 😃

[quinntunharris]

The reason they do it, is bcuz of some lawsuit previously where they can't have CDMA radios in their own chip, so they are force to use SD for countries that need it like the states

[VBigBlock]

Yeah i can confirm, i had a couple of Exynos S phones and they just felt choppy for whatever reason, also they ran substantially hotter than the Snapdragon counterparts...

[fernandojoselopezbarrera]

Thanks for the great video. Are those the Galaxy S22 models (regular) or the Plus models? And what do you think about the battery life?

[arjunsukumaran]

In india samsumg used to ship exynos, but the s22 series came with snap dragon.

[AssassinIsAfk]

I am happy to see that the battery life is closer then ever and that is something I hope to see continue with the exynos chipsets. Fuck performance imo if the battery life is worse on one then on the other there then it's not the same phone. Plus battery life is the most important thing performance comes second.

[xorkatoss]

hmm this is actually pretty good on Samsung's side! 3-4 years ago the Snapdragon vs Exynos gap was HUGE!!
