Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Exynos 2400: Benchmark results

[Note: We tested the Galaxy S23 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) and Galaxy S24 (powered by Exynos 2400) for benchmark results.]

[AnTuTu comparison]

AnTuTu is a widely used benchmarking tool to measure the overall performance of a smartphone. It provides a comprehensive assessment by running a series of tests that measure various capabilities, such as CPU, GPU, memory, and UX.

The Exynos 2400 is clearly ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with a significant margin of around 40%. Even the individual scores are better than those of the Snapdragon chip.

Here’s a closer look at the AnTuTu v10 scores:

	SD 8 Gen 2	Exynos 2400
AnTuTu score	1,205,842	1,712,480
CPU	259,859	397,638
GPU	536,961	680,368
Memory	235,019	344,037
UX	174,003	290,437

[Geekbench comparison]

Geekbench primarily focuses on evaluating CPU capabilities of a device, and again, the Exynos 2400 chip takes the lead.

Here’s a closer look at the Geekbench v6 scores:

	SD 8 Gen 2	Exynos 2400
Single core	1,523	2,082
Multi core	4,836	6,491

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Exynos 2400: Key differences

While both are strong chipsets for smartphones, there are critical differences that separate them. First is that the Exynos chip has got two additional cores. Even the remaining eight cores on both chips aren’t the same.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has one Cortex-X3 prime core running at 3.2GHz, two Cortex-A715 and two Cortex-A710 performance cores clocked at 2.8GHz, and three Cortex-A510 power-efficiency cores at 2.0GHz.

The Exynos 2400 has a more powerful Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.2GHz. Rest, there are five Cortex-A720 performance cores (two of them run at 2.9GHz and three at 2.6GHz), and four Cortex-A520 cores at 2.0GHz.

Clearly, the Exynos 2400 has a more powerful CPU architecture. However, the Snapdragon chip excels in power efficiency, thanks to TSMC’s more efficient fabrication process than Samsung’s.

The GPUs are also different: Adreno 740 on the SD 8 Gen 2 and Samsung Xclipse 940 on the Exynos 2400, with the latter being more powerful, as suggested by AnTuTu. However, both are great for gaming and support hardware ray tracing.

Another notable difference is the peak download speed on these chips —the Snapdragon chip peaks at 10Gbps (vs. 9.6Gbps on the Exynos 2400). However, the Exynos supports a newer Bluetooth 5.4 standard than 5.3 on the 8 Gen 2.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Exynos 2400: Conclusion

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Exynos 2400 are high-performance chips. They can smoothly handle everyday tasks, as well as gaming. However, when putting them to the test, the Exynos 2400 outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in CPU and GPU tests.

The Exynos 2400 sounds like a better choice. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 isn’t far behind. For everyday tasks and casual gaming, any of the two chips would work just fine.

However, if there’s a hefty discount on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone that makes it a significantly cheaper deal than getting an Exynos 2400 phone, I wouldn’t mind saving some cash.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be the ‘best of both worlds’: Writable like before yet Slim like Z Fold SE

By

Dec 17, 2024

Samsung is reportedly exploring ways to make the Galaxy Z Fold 7 slimmer without losing the S Pen functionality, which was the case with the recently released Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. Samsung aims to achieve this goal by removing the traditional digitizer—a key component responsible for enabling pen input.

Samsung could follow in Apple’s footsteps

According to industry sources, Samsung Electronics is actively considering adopting pen input technology that does not require a digitizer for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, expected to launch in 2025. This move comes as part of Samsung’s strategy to make foldable phones thinner—a growing priority in the competitive foldable market.

The digitizer, used to enable electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology, has been part of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold lineup since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It creates an electric field on the display panel, allowing for accurate and battery-free pen input. However, this technology contributes to the device’s thickness, forcing trade-offs between pen input and slimness.

To address this, Samsung is reviewing a new technology similar to Apple’s Active Electrostatic (AES) method. Unlike EMR, AES shifts the technology from the display to the pen itself, where a small battery and electronic components generate the necessary electric input. While this makes the pen thicker and requires charging, it allows for a thinner phone body, as seen with the Apple Pencil.

While Samsung is rethinking the pen technology for its foldable lineup, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is unlikely to see similar changes. Following its predecessors, the S25 Ultra will almost certainly retain its built-in S Pen and traditional digitizer technology. This means users can expect the familiar seamless pen experience, with no compromises on usability or design.

If successful, Samsung’s technological pivot for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could deliver the best of both worlds: a slimmer foldable device that still supports S Pen functionality. With increasing competition in the foldable space, this innovation could set the Fold 7 apart in 2025. Unfortunately, Samsung is not building the ‘S Pen’ into its foldable phone and is selling it separately.

Dec 17, 2024

We just put up our Unboxing and Hands on video of the Huawei Mate 70 Pro. This smartphone is the brand’s latest flagship smartphone. But how does it compare to some other premium phones from China, which recently had their global debut? Here’s a quick comparison of the Mate 70 Pro with the Oppo Find X8 Pro and Vivo X200 Pro.

Prev Next

1. Design & Display

Huawei Mate 70 Pro

All three models are flagship grade smartphone models, which offer a premium feel. The form factor and screen are subjective, so it’s harder to find an objectively better phone here. The Mate 70 Pro, Find X8 Pro, and X200 Pro feature an aluminum frame and glass body. The smartphones support an IP68 and IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. These devices have a large circular camera module on the rear.

Although there’s a slight difference in screen size. None of these are compact flagship phones, but the Find X8 Pro and X200 Pro have a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 4500 nits of peak brightness. Meanwhile, the Mate 70 Pro packs a taller 6.9-inch LTPO OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 2500 nits of peak brightness. So while the other two are brighter, one has a slightly taller display panel.

2. Specifications

Oppo Find X8 Pro

Both the Vivo X200 Pro and Oppo Find X8 Pro are premium smartphones with cutting edge specs. The duo are equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. These make it one of the fastest Android phones. However, the Mate 70 Pro is powered by a Kirin 9020 chipset. This processor isn’t bringing a major upgrade in performance. So the Mate 70 Pro still trails behind in this regard.

With the release of the HarmonyOS Next, Huawei is finally moving away from Android. A massive 6,000mAh battery pack powers the X200 Pro, while the Find X8 Pro has a 5,910mAh cell. Once again, the Mate 70 Pro lags behind with the smallest but still respectable 5,500mAh battery pack. But Huawei leads the pack with a 100W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. Oppo’s Find X8 Pro supports 80W wired and 50W wireless while Vivo X200 Pro offers 90W wired and 30W wireless fast charging.

3. Camera

Vivo X200 Pro

Photography is one area where Huawei is renowned. But in recent years, many Chinese brands have started catching up. The Vivo X200 Pro and Oppo Find X8 Pro placed an emphasis on camera performance, with the former’s Zeiss APO Telephoto lens offering impressive zoom photography on a smartphone. For the main sensor, the Sony LYT808 on the Find X8 Pro and X200 Pro should offer similar levels of performance. But without a doubt, these are two flagship level camera phones.

Huawei isn’t bringing similar levels of ground breaking camera tech upgrades on the Mate 70 Pro. But it seems to be refining the overall experience. Its telephoto lens isn’t as versatile as its competitors, but the 50MP main sensor with a variable aperture gives it an edge in still shots in varying lighting scenarios.

4. Pricing

Last but not least, we have the pricing of these three phones. Huawei’s Mate 70 Pro is the most expensive out of the lot with a 6,499 Yuan (roughly 892 US Dollars) starting price. However, the Find X8 Pro and X200 Pro have an identical starting price of 5,299 Yuan (roughly 727 US Dollars).

So depending on your preference, your choice between the three might differ. If you want a true flagship experience with a display, camera, and more, the Mate 70 Pro could be for you in China. Although, the X200 Pro and Find X8 Pro are more affordable but still offer impressive performance, bigger batteries, better zoom, and much more.

Dec 17, 2024

OnePlus is set to unveil its highly anticipated Ace 5 series next week, with two models launching simultaneously: the OnePlus Ace 5 and OnePlus Ace 5 Pro. Both devices are designed with performance and gaming enthusiasts in mind, and they will debut with an exciting new feature—bypass charging. This feature is expected to enhance the gaming experience by optimizing battery usage and reducing heat during high-intensity tasks. You can check out the gaming performance of the OnePlus Ace 5 here.

Bypass charging: what and why?

Bypass charging allows the device to draw power directly from the power adapter, bypassing the battery entirely while the phone is under heavy load. This is especially useful for gaming, which involves significant power consumption. By not using the battery during gameplay, the phone not only preserves battery health but also reduces heat generation, ensuring smoother gameplay.

Tipster Digital Chat Station recently shared an image that includes OnePlus’s official description of this feature. The text, when translated, reads: “Bypass power supply supplies shunt power directly to the game, which can reduce the heat of the device. The bypass power supply stops after exiting the game.”

This confirms that bypass charging is aimed at improving thermal management and sustaining high performance during gaming without overloading the battery. Significant in context, gameplay test of the OnePlus Ace 5 has also showcased better than expected performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Additionally, users will have the option to set the effective bypass charging value at 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80%. Once the battery falls below the selected threshold, the phone will switch to regular charging. It ensures that users aren’t caught off guard when their battery is low, even if they decide to play with that.

Key specifications of the OnePlus Ace 5 series

The OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro are largely identical in design and features. Both models come with a sleek 6.78-inch 1.5K resolution display, featuring an 8T LTPO panel protected by Crystal Shield glass. The phones are also equipped with a metal middle frame and OnePlus’s signature three-stage alert slider.

While the designs are consistent across both models, the key differences lie in their chips, batteries, and charging capabilities. The standard OnePlus Ace 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with a 6415mAh battery and 80W fast charging support. On the other hand, the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro features the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite, a slightly smaller 6100mAh battery, but it supports an impressive 100W fast charging speed.

Interestingly, Google has implemented a similar bypass charging feature in its Pixel devices, which switches to direct power from the adapter once the battery reaches 80%.

Dec 17, 2024

While Realme is gearing up for the launch of the Realme 14 series in India tomorrow, a new leak suggests the company is also preparing to expand its Narzo lineup with a premium offering — the Narzo 80 Ultra.

The leak comes from a report by 91Mobiles which details the storage variant, color options, and launch timeline for the smartphone.

Realme Narzo 80 Ultra detail leaks

The Narzo 80 Ultra will be the first phone in the Narzo series to carry the “Ultra” branding. Naturally, we are expecting it to be a more premium device compared to previous Narzo models.

The phone reportedly carries model number, RMX5033, and is said to come in at least one color option – white gold. The base storage configuration is rumored to be 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, though additional RAM and storage variants might be revealed closer to launch.

Last but not least, the leak suggests a late January 2025 launch timeframe for the Narxo 80 Ultra in India.

The Narzo 80 Ultra isn’t the only upcoming “Ultra” phone from Realme. Alongside the Narzo 80 Ultra, a separate report by 91mobiles suggests a new Realme P3 Ultra is also in the works.

The P-series phone is expected to arrive in India around the same timeframe as the Narzo 80 Ultra. It will be available in a grey color option and a higher-end 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.

Adding to the speculation, a new Realme phone with the model number RMX5032 (sequentially close to the Narzo 80 Ultra’s RMX5033) recently surfaced on the BIS certification website, hinting at an imminent Indian launch.

The phone’s marketing name remains unclear, leaving room for speculation. It could belong to the Narzo 80 series, but there’s also a chance it might be an entirely different model altogether. We’ll share more details as they emerge.
