Samsung RDNA2-based Exynos 2200 GPU Performance Significantly Worse than Snapdragon 8 Gen1, Both Power Galaxy S22 Ultra

Ah yes, that makes sense; regulate manufacturing because nobody writes the reviews you want
Are you for real?

As one of the overwhelming majority outside the US market... yes.
Intel dont have a 12900K with different core counts or i dont know, entirely differnent architectures around the world - just the ONE model.


These arent small differences like supported radio bands, at all.

Get out of your little tech corner and smell the reality: cars with different trims and engine variants, food with different recipes/additives, products sold with the same label that aren't identical have been happening for ages. Yet somehow you didn't die because they were not regulated so far.

I think what he meant was that 99% of online reviews tend to cover the US version with Snapdragon

That's not true, I can find you 1000 reviews geared towards China, India et al. Sure for the PC market US based reviews are arguably the best & mostly cater to NA, but not for mobiles!

I already ordered a regular S22 because it's small, it looks good and I need to regain my sanity after months of torture trying to get used to iOS.
The one I ordered comes bundled with a pair of Buds Pro and I'll also get a voucher which is the equivalent of ~$50. With that I'll get a case and something else from them as well. It's a pretty sweet deal. The thing is, things cannot get worse. They will most likely release some patches in the near future to address this situation. They just released the new S lineup and it would hurt them terribly to not be able to do anything about this.
People like to overreact so soon after the release of something new. The reality is, in day-to-day use, most people won't even notice this difference between the 2 chips. The difference is in benchmarks. SD also had years of just improving upon the previous generation whereas Samsung just tried something new with this RDNA based GPU. They're probably working as we speak to patch things up. And speaking about real life performance, there's not a big difference between Apple's latest and greatest and the equivalent in the Android world. Cause at the end of the day, people won't sit down with a stopwatch in their hand, ready to check the milliseconds of difference between opening 2 apps and so on.
So let's chill out and wait to see how things unfold. Those skeptical about the evolution of this new Exynos 2200 could either wait some more to see how things unfold, or find a way to a SD variant of their desired option, instead of getting this thing which right now it's still available to Preorder in most stores and be disappointed before even the phone got released to the public and has more time to receive updates.

Those are 1. Small differences hardly anyone notices, 2. Adaptation to different regulations (cars), or 3. Changes that are actually communicated to the customer other than in reviews.

Reviews will cover whatever they want.

Yes they will. That's how consumers get misinformed.

And smartphones don't come with a spec list?

Yes they will. That's how consumers get misinformed.

Nope. Consumers get misinformed by not doing their due diligence and expecting someone who they don't even know to do the work for them. There's no cure for stupid.

I don't think most buyers are tech-savvy enough to understand the spec sheet.

How would you know that the S22 review you're reading isn't about the S22 you're about to buy if you have no prior idea about Samsung's practice of differentiation across regions?

english reviews really, really lean towards the USA variants.


Again the concern is that the same model name is used for different hardware, and i'm getting some... weird fighting saying thats normal find and okay.


Umm, no? It's false advertising. Product should have a different name, if the specs have changed.
(They do this with the watches in dirty ways, 42mm has half the battery of 46mm, wifi has 768MB ram while 4G has 1.5GB, etc) - but the phone models themselves, you just get lotto. Go buy it and see what you get, then run all the tests yourself and see how it compares to the cherry picked superior model other countries get.

More English speaking people (& reviews) in India than in the US, at least as a second or third language. Quality of reviews ~ again arguably better this side of the pond but you can't fault the quantity!

weird fighting saying thats normal find and okay.

It is normal but it's not necessarily okay, the thing is you can't get around that unless you remove royalties/patents/laws & $$$ from intl trade ~ really as simple as that. The root of all evil as they say

My exynos 2200 on S22 ultra got 7323 in 3Dmark Wild Life. No software update was made on S22 Ultra.
