Over the years, Samsung’s Exynos chipset has been bashed by users and tech reviewers for its poor performance over the Snapdragon chipset.
Samsung users in regions where the Exynos variant is sold had a complaint that even after the paying same amount, they were getting underpowered phones as compared to regions where the Snapdragon variant was sold.
The Korean giant finally understood the severity of this issue and finally made the necessary tweaks with the Exynos 2100. It was long speculated that Exynos 2100 variant will beat the Snapdragon 888 variant in some department, or at least be at par with it.
Now, the battery drain test also lands in favor of the Exynos 2100 version of the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This would give the users of the Exynos 2100 Galaxy S21 Ultra a huge sigh of relief.
Galaxy S21 Ultra battery drain test exhibition lasted for 30 minutes
The test was carried on for 30 minutes. During the observation period, the brightness levels on both the variants of the Galaxy S21 Ultra was pushed all the way to max settings.
