Early benchmarks suggested the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series might lag behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in raw processing power. However, when it comes to real-world gaming performance, the Exynos 2400 has put up a surprising fight, even outperforming its rival in some titles.

Exynos 2400 performs better than expected!

A YouTuber individually tested the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24+ and the Snapdragon in the Galaxy S24 Ultra by playing several demanding games. And the test was done with Samsung’s Game Booster and an “Alternate game performance management” setting on, which improves performance at the expense of heating. 

So this is a summary of these two tests compiled in a single story. Here’s what they found:

Genshin Impact: Both chips managed a mostly steady 60 FPS, proving their ability to handle even demanding titles. However, there was some thermal throttling which isn’t surprising considering Genshin Impact is the most demanding smartphone game.

PUBG Mobile: Both the Exynos and Snapdragon chips in the Galaxy S24 series managed to reach a consistent 90 FPS. But this was only on the Smooth graphics settings. When changing the settings, the highest frame rate option available was Extreme (60 FPS) for both the Snapdragon-powered S24 Ultra and Exynos-powered S24 Plus. This means that Samsung still needs to fine-tune these chips for better performance with PUBG Mobile.

PUBG New State: For New State, both phones support 90 FPS in Ultra graphics settings. There is an Extreme graphics option, but it’s not enabled on either phone, which means there’s still room for improvement via software updates.

Call of Duty: Mobile: The Galaxy S24 Ultra, with its Snapdragon chip and Super Resolution feature, achieved a smooth 120 FPS, while the Exynos-powered S24+ was stuck at 60 FPS.

Mobile Legends: Not a demanding game, so both phones ran it at a steady 60 FPS.

Fortnite: Both chips dropped to the low 70s in combat, but otherwise ran at a decent 90 FPS.

War Thunder: Surprisingly, the Exynos S24+ outperformed the Snapdragon S24 Ultra in this ray tracing-enabled game. Both started at around 100 FPS, but the Snapdragon chip quickly throttled down to 40 FPS in urban areas.

For a more detailed look, you can check out both the tests below:

Overall, the Exynos 2400 pleasantly surprised in gaming performance. It not only keeps up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but even managed to beat it in War Thunder. This means Galaxy S24 owners worldwide can rest assured they’re not missing out on top-notch gaming performance.

Also, it’s worth noting that these tests were done on pre-production hardware, so things could get even better once Samsung releases further optimizations. With FSR support potentially boosting performance even further, the Exynos 2400 could become a real-good device for gaming.
