The snapdragon one is a clone right? a question will I buy a snapdragon clone does it affect anything?
Finally. Samsung had to up their game after the exynos 990, they knew they had to do that. Glad to know, for what it really matters (I used to have a note 20 ultra and I only sold it because of its imeense size and lack of " pocktability", not because of the 990). Anyway i bought the regular s21 and I'm very happy with it.
Thank you, we appreciate what you do keep going 👍
Thanks for watching, will do!
Thx been waiting for this since the launch of the S21.
Thanks for watching!
same actually
شكرا
Thank you for an honest and unbiased video.
Great video bro. So far best comparision between both variant I have seen on net. One request please make it on S21 ultra both sides, Also another request battery comparision between them. It would be better if you mention both temp and battery drop after each round. So far so good. A big thumbs up👍👍👍👍
Thanks for your comment and for watching! I cannot afford to buy 2x S21 Ultras sadly (😅) but the only possible difference we would see is during RAM management tests of games as the internals are identical between the S21 series (except for cameras as well of course). So in theory S21 Ultra could keep more things in RAM but seeing as most games now require a constant online connection, it's highly unlikely you could ever put that to use in real-life. For apps it could also potentially help of course but you can see here they can both handle background apps well (except for a couple of hiccups from the SD888). I will definitely be doing a battery comparison between the two that's for sure and that should be out before the end of the week 👍
@@AndroidAddicts Thanks Bro. 👍👍
Awesome video, had watched another youtubers video saying that both chipset having overheat problem during the test of antutu, how about yours?
Fantastic video, thank you. I've just received my s21 Exynos and find some flickering in Chrome and GMaps when I select it from Recent Apps. Have you noticed this? I love the memory management, but could you test how long the apps stay in the background, KZhead always seems to refresh...
Thanks very much! I have not noticed any issues in Chrome or Google Maps but I haven't used them extensively yet (I use the Samsung Internet browser which I prefer due to it having a Dark Mode, and I haven't been out so haven't needed to use Maps 😅). Have you checked if you have the latest Feb Software Update installed?
How was your expérience with it?
What about the multiplayer mode settings for the snapdragon? (as a opposed to battle Royal). Isn't there an "ultra max' alternative for snapdragon? How many fps is that?
I feel confident woth exynos 2100 now with my S21 Ultra. Even on my previous Note 10+ and Note 20Ultra...i traded one after another till i got the s21u. It's really awesome!
Yep, likewise. I was quite happy to get rid of my Exynos 990 😂👍
Glad that they're identical now... buying devices will be a lot easier now and competition will breed better products...
Gostei da sua comparação, a Samsung melhorou bastante seu processador
The best comparison video between the 2 variants. Thanks
Thanks very much! Glad you found it useful 😊👍
I came here to find out the performance difference, but I’m just amazed how fast both of them are, I used PsX earlier today on my exynos s8 and it was horribly slow, I’ve also had a lot of fun comparing my friends s21 exynos with my s8, the s21 is another world
agreed but you are comparing an s8 a 2017 phone to a s21 a 2021 ohone
Still got mine and use it from time to time! 💪
I like your background music so calm ang relaxing
Thanks very much, glad to hear it!
Yesss thanks to this I will be satisfied buying the exynos variant, thank you for this very clarified video!

Great Video Man, i have a doubt will exinos give same results after a year of use?
No
People keep saying no but I have no idea why. I've got an S8 which still performs well to this day!
Good video. I was waiting for Exynos Vs Snapdragon battle for such a long time.
Glad you liked it! 😎
Me too
@@AndroidAddicts first time I got a heart from a youtuber. Thanks for giving me a heart.
Really awesome and unbiased speed test here. Thanks for doing this. It makes sense why some apps/games load faster on Exynos because of the faster CPU but frame rates in games is slightly lower and heats a bit more compared to SD's better GPU. But the difference is minor and I'm now convinced Exynos S21 ultra would work for me in Australia. Upgrading from a S9+ so I'll be pleasantly surprised by the performance boost ☺️
Thanks very much! Oh yes, if you're upgrading from the S9+ you'll see a world of difference I'm sure 👍 Yes the GPU does get a bit warmer but in my tests (videos will be coming out over the next few days) it's only normally by about 1 degree (C) when they're both getting maxed out...
@@AndroidAddicts thanks. Look forward to your next videos on your findings
How has it been
@@unnikrishnanharish4658 s21 Ultra has delivered for me for sure. Just what you expect from such an ultra phone. The only issue i had was with the camera module heading up too much but they fixed that with software updates.
Do you want buy this phone for child? For what game?
So the Exynos 2100 had a higher score overall but which do you think performed best for how you would use it?
All i can say is. Good job Samsung for making it so fair and even as possible between the two.
I had the s20 (exynos 990) last year and only had it for 3 weeks before getting rid of it, it was awful. I moved to the s20FE 5G which was miles better. I've now got the s21 Ultra (exynos) and it is awesome !! ... Nice to see this year they are both on par. Great video 👌
Thanks for your comment! Yeah I have been really unimpressed with my S20 Ultra...sadly I was in a contract so couldn't do a huge amount about it...really looking forward to properly switching to the S21 now as the performance is so much better! 👍
@@AndroidAddicts performance on the s21 is amazing !! .. lightning fast. Battery is really good also, I found that keeping the display set to FHD+ instead of WQHD+ and using Dark Mode will give me an additional 2 to 3 hrs of battery life
@@buckymix any heat issue so far?
Excellent video and you are doing very well the most in PUBG, you should play it 👌
Subbed u dude
💚
I think it's really good test. As other KZheadrs they just keep opening apps one after other. Nd then do ram management all at once.. but we don't use our phones like that in real life. Most we use fee apps and the. Go in Nd out with these apps. I've seen some cases where I have used one app Nd it's been opened at background. Nd it was still there the next morning. I have s21 ultra.
exynos or sd?
I'm really impressed Exynos is really competative with Snapdragon, AMD did really good job with Samsung in tunning their GPU.
We'll find out in the Exynos 2200 👍
Wow learnt something new about Amd ...... lol... I had never had a good experience with Amd computers... that's why I will stick with intel.... I have an A51 which is running the Exynos..... after this I will never buy and exynos phone again 😒... but I can see they have improved on the 2100

Great improvement from samsung Exynos ❤️💪👍👌
Would love to see s21 ultra 888 vs. S20 ultra 865 battery comparison
A real true comparison🔥
Thanks for the realistic speed comparison instead of some stupid stress test I mean who in the right mind would buy a phone this expensive to run stress test
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment 😊
at the end of the day, both are more than good enough for anything and anyone. Same about all other flagships for a few years now.. You're only gonna notice anything on demanding games these days
That is exactly right 👍
The greatest issue is that games are not well optimised for Exynos especially pubg.
Exynos GPU is Mali,Mali is very weak
@@Rizal04 gpu problems should be solved in the future as Samsung is collabing with AMD
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Some other testers have the snapdragon being higher. So pretty much both version trade blows with each other.
This video was the only one to confirm.
I am using vero forza cooler while gaming on s21+ exynos and it stays really cool and giving a grade performance.
Looks like a nice cooler. Sadly not available here in the UK
Hi!!!! I had purchased the s21ultra Exynos variant in the month of April 2021 but I am not getting a SOT with normal to heavy usage of in any case more than 6 hours. 1. My general work is of a professional kind (surfing, reviewing, mails, payments, PDF's, etc.) and sometimes 1-2 hours of gaming of COD mobile ( that too not regularly) 2. Set at qhd+ with adaptive refresh rate and never did SOT crossed 6.5 hrs mark....and with wqhd+ 5.5 hrs mark 3. only my WIFI is on regularly and the phone runs on 4G. Bluetooth seldom on. Please help. Should I go and get it checked at the authorized repair centers about the battery drainage issue. Thanks in Advance.
You missed the points for the Snapdragon with Spotify and Prime Video. So that would put them at a tie. Also the game loading tests are flawed for the same reason you don't do the wifi test at the same time. You should load the games separately and then time it for a better comparison. Another thing to point out is during the photo taking test, the Snapdragon had HDR on while the Exynos did not.
Spotify finished loading (rendering all images) on the Exynos first. Prime Video the app loaded first on Exynos but rendered at the same time on both. If you play back at 1/4 speed and play/pause you will see this. This is why I didn't award a point for Prime Video. Game loading tests are all fine as they use completely different accounts so do not need to run separately and would never saturate my 60Mbps Internet line. The Internet Speed Test tests however do saturate the line on purpose so this is why they're done separately. You are however correct about the HDR mode on the Snapdragon. Looks like it was a bug on Snapdragon as HDR was set to Auto On for both pones but for some reason it came on on the Snapdragon during the test. It should only normally come on if it detects a face (in the tests I've done). Hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching.
@@AndroidAddicts I see what you mean with Spotify and Prime video but the reason I said what I did about the games, specifically about loading, is that I noticed that some of the games had to download some sort of update when starting up, which I think can saturate the internet speed. I could be wrong though. Anyway, Thanks for the video and thanks for the reply.
No worries, I appreciate your comment. Someone had already pointed out the HDR thing which I hadn't noticed so it's always appreciated 👌👍 I tried to ensure the games were all up to date (manually downloading assets etc before doing the test) but games like Genshin always seem to 'download' something when loading.. Not sure if it's just your game data or in-game events etc but there's only so much you can do to make it fair. In their I guess you could start a stopwatch for each game and see but sadly they all pop up different ads/features each time so it's very difficult.
Thanks friend
Why is there the difference in starting logo brightness, like is it a difference in all the displays or its just difference in amount of brightness
Samsung rocks with exynos 🔥🔥🔥
2:00, the SD 888 version has the HDR on, whilst the other doesn't.
Very good spot I didn't notice that. They're both however set to auto HDR so the SD 888 camera thought it needed HDR whereas the Exynos did not. I've just tested the front camera on both and HDR switches on automatically when it detects a face so I have no idea why the SD 888 turned it on. Perhaps it's a bug in the camera software? Thanks for pointing it out though as that explains why it was slower than the Exynos 👍
using exynos 2100 chipset from couple of days. A big big come back by Samsung

Which phone do you have bro. Hows the battery and performance ?? Any frame drops in gaming or camera use??
@@prashant2840 S21, I'm not hard gamer but it got a decent battery backup, no heating or throttling, no lag so far, impressive camera quality. Though it has downgraded in screen resolution but I really drifted with full hd + 120 hz refresh rate

@@remnem nice
simples,Exynos é mais rápido em muitas coisas,mas quando esquenta gera um pouco de perca de desempenho
Verdade
Falou tudo mano
Em uma escolha de longa data é melhor apostar no snapdragon.
Apenas aceitem que em 2021 a Samsung fez um processador melhor que o snepdragon, ganha em rapidez, duração de bateria e esquenta menos kkkk por incrível que pareça, já vi 1 milhão de testes mostrando tudo isso
Exynos does well cpu wise. You lose on average about 10 fps when gaming. Hopefully they can improve this in the next iteration of their phones.
Let's hope so!
This is what I needed. I knew that s21 has problems with shutter lag but can't confirm the variant. Seems like only the snapdragon has the issue.
Update: Got my S21 FE (exynos) Shutter Speed is instantaneous.
@Shaurya Jain Nothing extra. Thermals seem normal. Most of the reviews are just exaggerating. And of course playing Genshin Impact at max settings heats up any phone.
@Shaurya Jain Lasts 1 day & 15 hrs (40% screen brightness, always on display turned ON, WIFI always ON) 1 day & 6 hours with light gaming (Mobile Legends)
at the 2:45 mark, the SD is a tad quicker, if you look at it frame by frame. Hence i believe that the point should go to SD instead of Exynos?
Oh now I get it this is supposed to make people in the UK feel better
I can't thank you enough for including genshin. I really NEEDED this.
You're welcome! Glad to have helped! 👍

If you do the same test after 2 years of usage you will realize why ppl picking the sd888 over the exynos 2100
Ppl kya
@@jay-jaybibera3201 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 kehna kya chahte ho
you litterally cant pick?
SD 888 is better then exynos 2100. Exynos kill battery and after some month you will need to charge 2 time in a day. In My oppinion SD 888 is winner for sure
Hey dude u have uploaded the topics which exactly I need thanks
Glad to hear that 👍
Me that use samsung a10s helio p22: okay this seems fun :")
in most games exynos loaded little faster. One thing to note is that pubg is highly optimised for Snapdragon chips
Great to see Samsung finally fixed the exynos
How you checked always Temperature?
I use a lot of DEX and exynos cant handle, gets too hot and shuttoff
Somehow my S10+ 8gb model which I've been using since April 2019 keeps significantly more apps in memory than my mom's S21+. I think its due to the battery management cause of 120 hz which kills apps to save battery. But keeping apps in memory will put less strain on cpu as it doesn't have to reload the app again and would that not save battery more than closing apps in background.
Exactly, you're in a catch-22 situation between battery life or convenience I guess
Probably due to optimization as your phone has be out longer
Please do the stress test in antutu app and see how hot they get.
Exynos is a bad shit.. the performance not stable as the chip got problem with heatmanagement.. sd 888 is the champ..
@@nimon503 recently i switch from rog 3 to s21u exynos.. rog 3 i do everything and really hard to make this device lagging.. its stability 90% And now s21u exynos easy to face lagging.. stability about 70% and when i video call with my chick and watching youtube at the same time.. popup msg saying need to closed multi apps as the device shit too hot..
