The Exynos Galaxy S22 has appeared in a disappointing battery test
Most DxOMark users refer to it as a reference for mobile camera reviews. But for a long time, the experts of this site have been examining features such as the display and battery life of some phones. This site recently published a report on the battery of the Exynos Galaxy S22. As you probably know, the Galaxy S22 series comes with two Snapdragon 8 chipsets, 1st generation and Exynos 2200.
In the following two diagrams, you can see that the battery of the Exynos Galaxy S22 model is weaker than expected. Although this report mentions high power consumption in standby mode, but on the other hand, it should be noted that this phone uses a 3700 mAh battery, which is a very low capacity compared to the batteries in other Android flagships. According to reviews on this site, the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra have better battery life, which of course is only possible thanks to the use of 4500 and 5000 mAh batteries.
Many users expect a longer battery life than the previous generation. Offer more. But the Exynos Galaxy S22 does not offer such an advantage, and its battery life is actually shorter than the previous generation. The battery of the Exynos S21 is not much different from the iPhone 13, but of course the iPhone 13 offers a much better battery life for playing music.
In fact, the battery life of the Exynos Galaxy S22 is so bad that it ranks 57th At the bottom of the list is the DxOMark site. This means that even the iPhone 12 Mini has a better battery life than it does. On the other hand, for some users, battery charging speed is more important than battery life. The Galaxy S22 also performed poorly in this regard, and if you use wired charging, you will have to wait 1 hour and 39 minutes for the battery to fully charge. If you use wireless charging, it will take 2 hours and 13 minutes to fully charge the battery. Also, as you probably know, the Galaxy S22 series phones with the charger are not on the market and you have to buy the charger separately.
The Exynos 2200 is the first mobile chipset equipped with an AMD graphics processor. When this news was announced, many users were hoping to get a very powerful chipset. But even before its release, there was no good news about this chipset. Samsung did not go into much detail at the unveiling of the chip, prompting various media outlets to speculate that the decision may have been made because of the chip's weakness. According to studies, the most important feature of this chip, namely its graphics processor, is much weaker than the GPU in Snapdragon 8 Generation 1.
On the other hand, according to published reports, the processor in this chip is only 5% faster than the previous generation, Exynos 2100. Flagship chips, on the other hand, typically offer 15 to 20 percent better performance than their predecessors. Samsung has been widely criticized in recent years for its poor performance of Exynos flagship chips. Although the Exynos 2200 also uses AMD's first-generation GPU and was not supposed to be revolutionary, overall it is much weaker than expected. That's why many experts have advised users to buy only Snapdragon Galaxy S22 series models, which is not possible in many countries. We have to see if Samsung can satisfy the critics for the next generation of Exynos flagship chip.
