Samsung, what have you been doing for a whole year? Galaxy S22 Ultra on Exynos 2200 catastrophically loses GPU modifications on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in tests
Well, after a series of disparate tests and rumors, it’s time to finally put an end to the confrontation between SoC Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. A test of two Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra based on different platforms has finally appeared on the Web.
Unfortunately, early expectations were not justified, and all the latest fears were confirmed. The Xclipce 920 GPU in the Exynos 2200 is not just weaker than the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it is much weaker. In fact, these are solutions of different classes.
In particular, in 3DMark Wildlife, the Samsung platform scores 6684 points, while the Qualcomm solution shows 9548 points, that is, 42% more! Actually, in the same test, the results of the Exynos 2100 are only slightly lower than those of the new Samsung SoC.
In GFXBench Manhattan, the two Samsung platforms show identical results, and in T-Rex the old SoC is even slightly faster. Qualcomm’s innovation is always ahead, and the gap is always huge.
Recall, shortly before the release of Samsung’s flagship, there was evidence that the company was unable to get the Exynos 2200 GPU to work at the originally planned frequencies, hence the deplorable situation with performance.
Thus, after the rather successful Exynos 2100, the Korean giant returned to the days of the Exynos 990, which turned out to be much worse than the competing Qualcomm solution, which Samsung itself eventually recognized.
Of course, in this situation, you need to understand a few nuances. Firstly, the performance of the Exynos 2200 is still very high, and it will be enough for most users for all tasks. Secondly, tests are tests, and the same GPU needs to be evaluated in games. Yes, the GPU in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 turned out to be very fast, only very hot, which is why most smartphones on this platform get very hot with active throttling. Whether it will be the same with Exynos 2200, we will find out. And thirdly, the question of autonomy remains open. If the versions of Samsung flagships on Exynos 2200 are also significantly inferior in this indicator, of course, it will be a failure.

There are more than 500 million users of Xiaomi smartphones in the world. The company joined Samsung and Apple
According to the analytical company Counterpoint Research, there are already more than 500 million smartphone users in the world of the Chinese company Xiaomi, which has joined the club where Samsung and Apple already belong.
Theoretically, Xiaomi’s large user base could further develop the company’s brand if products meet or exceed expectations. It may also give Xiaomi more opportunities to monetize traffic on its smartphones and allow the company to effectively sell IoT devices, headphones, smartwatches and other gadgets.
2021 was a very successful year for the company, with users actively buying smartphones. Xiaomi’s successful global expansion is particularly noticeable in India and Europe, where it became one of the top three OEMs in the first quarter of 2022. In India, the company leads the market with 23% of the market, and in China it is in fifth place.
The average revenue per user (ARPU) of Xiaomi in China is much higher than other regional markets, with ARPU for premium smartphones higher than for lower-end smartphones. This partly explains the strategic importance of the Chinese segment of the premium smartphone market, although demand seems weak at the moment. The additional profit and revenue from Chinese premium smartphone users could help Xiaomi further subsidize overseas sales channels, expand into new countries and launch global marketing campaigns.
According to Xiaomi, more than 80% of internet service revenue comes from China, with the main contributor being advertising.

The iPhone 15 could do what Jobs wanted to see in the very first iPhone. It’s about the lack of a SIM card slot.
According to numerous rumors, the iPhone 15 line of smartphones may be the first Apple models in which the company will abandon the slot for conventional SIM cards. That is, they will completely switch to eSIM. As it turned out, Apple wanted to abandon the SIM even in the very first iPhone.
According to former Apple CEO Tony Fadell, Steve Jobs wanted to release the first iPhone without a SIM card slot. Of course, then there was no talk of any eSIM in its modern form. It’s just that Jobs liked the concept of the iPhone without SIM cards, and it could be realized by switching completely to CDMA networks. However, Fadell dissuaded Jobs from this idea, showing statistics according to which, the distribution of CDMA left much to be desired. Later, Apple did release a CDMA-enabled iPhone for Verizon, but that was just a modification.
Now, more than 15 years later, Jobs’ original concept may be fully realized. True, eSIM does not work in all countries, so Apple will have to continue to release iPhones with SIM card slots.
