Samsung is one of the few smartphone makers to develop their own processors. Additionally, it is the only one to sell its premium flagship smartphones with two different processors – in-house Exynos and Qualcomm. However, there has always been a performance difference between the two. Now, as Galaxy S20 series is out, various media publications have confirmed the Exynos 990 to lag behind the Snapdragon 865 variant, however, Samsung says otherwise. In a statement to SamMobile, the South Korean tech giant reassures both the versions of their latest high-end smartphones to perform equally.
Samsung has been making Exynos chips for a very long time but they have mostly performed inferior to counterparts from Qualcomm. It becomes even more complicated as the company sells its flagship smartphones with both the chips in different regions although the device is priced similarly.
This has now led to tensions among fans as the latest Galaxy S20 series cost higher than the previous generations and only the US, China, and South Korea get the Snapdragon 865 variant, which is better than the Exynos 990 version sold in other markets.
Despite there being proofs all over the internet with reviews from reputed media that confirm the Exynos 990 to throttle performance while also being less power efficient, Samsung has released a statement saying both the variants of Galaxy S20 series have undergone the same rigorous tests and perform equally in real life.
