Is the Exynos Galaxy S24 really that bad?

The Exynos version of the Galaxy S24 series as bad as people make it seem? Or is it. fairly comparable to the Snapdragon model? Let's put them to the test in a series of benchmarks and find out!

Apologies on the errors folks. In the UK the S24 and S24 Plus are Exynos. Only the S24 Ultra is Snapdragon.

Your intro is incorrect, in the UK we have the Exynos in both the S24 and S24 Plus. Only the Ultra has the 8 Gen 3.

I get why Samsung wants the exynos in other countries. But I think they should just go with Snapdragon across the board.

[wyase]

I dont think you have considered the call/reception/modem impact on battery life which most people would be impacted by in real life. I understand that the Exynos does not perform too well in that field. It should be a priority to include that in your tests.

[DexterHR]

No, Exinos is not that bad. Problem is that it’s selling for the same price as SD version and that is no no. Means that Samsung is turning extra profit from markets where Exinos version is sold.

Benchmarks mean nothing unless they translate to a meaningful difference in everyday use.

Doubts аrе creep in, it looks like a paid video ad. It's very well masked though.

I saw a battery test where they put s24 snap to s24 exynos, and snapdragon came on top by quite a lot margin

[phloxevl]

This video is in direct contrast with some other comparison videos that show SD model having substantially better battery life on 5G. Since said videos are much more in depth than some person claiming the opposite with poorly plotted graphs, I'm inclined to not trust the battery life comparison in this video that much.

[dukebrobbey]

Smartphone SoCs don't particularly stay at their topmost frequency for long, thermally throttling is necessary so to reach low clocks and saving battery consumption whiles at it...

[ptrbitl]

Are you sponsored? In other videos everyone says Snapdragon is running on better temp and it goes up to 17% MORE battery life? How did you perform your test? Day to day SNAPDRAGON holds battery better! No snapdragon in Europe

[OnlyCitrus]

People alwasy forgetting how bad and inefficient the Exynos modems are. They are the biggest pain points.

[danuka]

Defending exynos 😂, battery life not same man, exynos still behind

[kaim]

On every other test the Exynos has worse efficiency and higher battery drain. So there are two possibilities now: Either all the other test (lots of by renowned experts) are wrong, or you are.

[sakshambindal]

Is there any differnce in camera performance or other third party app optimisation ?

[peetairsh]

How does the exynos handle heat and screen brightness? I'm looking for an upgrade from the s20fe and my main problem with that is when I use it (e.g) for navigation, it heats up and reduces screen brightness because of it, which makes it useless outside.

I get that channels like this have to be pro-Exynos and frame tests around the positives, but we all know, even though we are not paid techie reviewers, that the main problems with Exynos are not addressed here:

1/ In the winter, these tests are useless due to much lower ambient temperatures. Many of my Exynos issues were in the warmer/hotter months, where it heated up and became a mess.
2/ Its modem is inferior to the X75, and therefore, the battery life on 5G is much worse than that of SD8G3. Testing on wifi is a cop-out.
3/ Exynos 2400 yield is significantly lower than SD8G3, which translates to worse QC; one Exynos chip can be okay, but the next could be a dumpster fire.
4/ The Exynos day-to-day is fine, but chips that are 3-year-old would also be great. The real test is under load, and some gaming tests have proved that the Exynos throttles hard and runs hotter, even much hotter than Snapdragon.
5/Exynos 2400 is possibly $100-150 cheaper than the SD8G3, but we have yet to see that reflected in the pricing.
6/ Why is it not in the Ultra if the E2400 is as good as reviewers claim? Why is the S24 & S24+ not Exynos in Samsung's biggest US market?
7/ Why confuse the market with two varieties and make updates and apps have to optimise for both? This could mean Exynos gets a raw deal.
8/ The people do not want Exynos, yet it is forced on us. Imagine if Apple released an A17Pro iPhone 15PM in the US but only an A16 15PM in Europe? I suspect Android Authority would be raging about that!

Samsung needs to stop treating some markets with second-rate chips. They either trust their chips or don't. If they trust them, as they claim, all S24/S24+ should be Exynos in every region.

[Russeljrjs]

For me, if I was presented with both phone, I would probably choose the exynos for a better battery life overall.

[stennan]

Exynos is not weak, but Qualcomm is:
Stong with modems/antenna design/patents (hence Apple uses external QC modems)
Samsung is doing it in-house (or does Arm design modems?)

Using bleeding edge TSMC tech granting improvement to efficiency, peak perf etc.
Samsung using in-house lithography which previously has been a generation behind (when we have been able to compare).

GPU-wise Samsung has an interesting design using AMD tech, but I wonder if our devices/apps are able to use that hardware as efficiently. QC has the market share simliar to Nvidia, so devs will have a lot of Adreno devices to test against.

Would like to see Mediatek added to a follow up video as they have been coming very close to QC in terms of perf. Curious if their modems/efficiency can match QC

Also: YouTube needs to do something about all the bots with nude butts as profile pictures. Surprised content creators can't implement auto-bans to deal with it

[kevinz]

Exynos not yet. It is not worth for years. Not even years only months. After that it will throttle. As a Exynos user I'm saying this.
