Exynos 9820 vs Snapdragon 855 Samsung Galaxy S10+ Gaming Comparison

To answer a few commonly asked questions:

Q: What is the FPS recording software and can I have it?
A: It's called KFMark and yes you can have it, just Google for it, it's a very good open source project.

Q: How do you get 60fps on highest graphics settings for PUBG? and can I have it?
A: I used a software called GFX Tool to modify the files to allow 60fps. You can Google for the software and download it, it's free. However I do not know if you will get banned for using it, not my responsibility whatsoever.

Q: How do you get 60fps switch for Asphalt 9?
A: I've modified the game config files to enable this hidden switch.

Q: Can I have the mod for Asphalt 9?
A: Sorry but no, this mod is unpublished work from my friend, and I appreciate he allows me to use it, however I cannot share it.

Q: Room temperature?
A: I'm in Singapore, in an air-conditioned room, so I'll say it's around 26C, apparently you will get different results if your place is hotter/cooler than mine.

Q: Same brightness?
A: Yes they are set to same manual brightness, around 40% IIRC, but there could be very slight variations, I'm a human, pls bear with me.

Q: Did you cheat to make 855 look better?
A: I don't see any benefit in doing so. We have the Exynos version in SG, I pre-ordered the Exynos version, then I imported a 855 S10+. I simply want to spread the truth.

==================

I've got 2 Galaxy S10+, the Snapdragon 855 variant for North America, China Mainland and HK, and Exynos 9820 for rest of the world.
How do they variant compare against each other when gaming? Let's test to find out!

"Therefore SD 855 is obviously the better choice for gamers"
Well only if there was a choice to make, we're just forced to buy the one available in our region. Feels unfair.

[gabrielgon]

this was the best test i've seen, WITH NUMBERS AND GRAPHS

[DogDaddy]

This my friends is how you truly test the performance of a smartphone and not by opening a bunch of apps.

[gl.t]

So Exynos uses more battery and achieves lower fps?
Well done Samsung!!! 👏

[FPSkillerPC]

Truly disappointed with the Exynos. Everything feels jittery and phone heats up like mad. Hoping this video gets seen by Samsung.

just bought my s10 plus last 2 weeks ago. the guy in the samsung store told me that the chipset im buying is the snapdragon version.
after a few days saw some videos and got curious if i really have the snapdragon. check at cpu-z and was disappointed seeing that my chipset is exynos. gonna go back to the samsung store. and get a full refund for lying.

Bro. Ive watched most of your videos. Why are you so underrated? This is the only channel that i see a gaming comparison benchmarks like the ones they do on the oc. Keep it up bro. Ur fire. dope af

[demon]

One of the reasons I hate living in Asia. Damn that exynos chip should be replaced by snapdragon because of inferior performance in games.

[nyancat]

Best exynos vs snapdragon comparison I've seen so far!

[Hopkins]

A very informative video from a small Yotube channel and not just plain pictures and fake charts? Am I dreaming?! This is really one of the best videos of such I have ever seen(altough I follow big Youtube channels). Keep it up mate!

[ragnarok]

5:24 Look at the phone in the top
This run looks smooth!

[stevenmorrison]

I hope Samsung watch this and realize to stop screwing people over depending on where they live if you get the snap or exynos, there is clearly and massive performance loss or gain depends on which Samsung S10 you get, I will not be buying one because of this, one plus 7 here I come

[kshitizsharma]

Excellent work bro
FINALLY I HAVE COMMENTED ON A.COMPARISON VIDEO
COZ you have explained greatly😎

[hikarumiaru]

This is what I want to see in the Youtube and not many people do like this comparison at all .. this is the best comparison and we can see their differences side to side with our own eyes. THUMBS UP!!

[vaibhavjakhar]

Nobody realised that despite playing duo or squad, both the phones were in same server . Lolz

[prashanthot]

Great Video. Best Comparison video I've seen on YouTube.
Happy to know that the difference between the 2 chip is not that much.
Snap855 is the king in android for sure..but kudos to exynos as well to keep up with the competition in a good way. 😊👍

[rhesaramadhan]

Actually we want the SD version.. but our region won't allow us to buy that :(

[yoursnly]

This difference is mainly due to the fact that most of the
game developpers support the snapdragpn chipset and moreover they refer to it when creating games because it's present in the majority of android phones
otherwise the exynos anufacturers try to catch the specs of the already present snapdragon processor and match its performance as much as they can thing that cannot always be done perfectly because qualcomm has the lead and afterall it is it's domain and speciality

[hardtarget]

One of the best gaming comparison test on YouTube. That Samsung display is absolutely gorgeous 😍 There was a time when Exynos was more power efficienct than Snapdragon. However due to pressure from Snapdragon Samsung decided to let them rule.

[waycoolscootaloo]

In these two videos, watch as the Snapdragon 845 powered Galaxy Note 9 from America, matches the UK bound Galaxy Note 10+ with a Exynos 9820. If you check the final run time at the end of the video, you will see that the 845 powered Galaxy Note 9 gets the same final run time of the Exynos 9820 Galaxy S10+.

Eeyup! The Galaxy Note 9 with a Snapdragon 845 ran "Speed Test G" in 1:49 compared to the Exynos 9820 powered Galaxy S10+ which ran it in 1:49 seconds as well.


So those of you in Europe, now have that Snapdragon 845 performance that you wanted last year with the Exynos 9820.

Here in good ol Milwaukee Wisconsin by the way, the Galaxy S10+ costs $999.99 before sales tax for the unlocked 128GB variant. ($1, 055.99 including tax, or €938.65) If you buy it on a major carrier like AT&T, then it will cost you just $35.20/€31.29 per month including tax, with a 0% APR interest rate over a 30 month period in the city of Milwaukee. (This is for the 855 variant too by the way.)


What does the Exynos variant cost by you for the 128GB Galaxy S10+ model in comparison to my listed price? My prices are based off of Samsung's website, as well as AT&T here in the US.
