Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2100 flagship will consume way less battery than the Exynos 990, it seems. This information comes from Ice Universe, a well-known tipster, who shared the information via Twitter.
The Exynos 2100 will ensure better battery life than the Exynos 990, it seems
According to the tipster, the Galaxy S20 Ultra equipped with Exynos 990 consumed 55-percent of the battery during a “test project”, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra lost only 22-percent for the same thing.
The tipster did not mention the details of this “test project”, but it’s some sort of test usage, specific tasks, and so on. Do note that the Exynos 990 is a 7nm processor, while the Exynos 2100 will be a 5nm chip.
In comparison, the Snapdragon 888 is also a 5nm processor. Those two chips will be direct competitors in 2021, and Samsung will use both in its smartphones.
The Exynos 2100 will fuel Samsung’s flagships in India and Europe, while the Snapdragon 888 will do the same in the US and China. That’s something we’re used to seeing from Samsung. The company has been utilizing both chips for years now.
Qualcomm’s processors usually destroy Exynos ones, things may change in 2021, though
Exynos basically always comes short, and that enrages users who understand what’s happening. Qualcomm’s processors end up beating Exynos ones year-in, year-out. That may change in 2021, or at least Samsung may close the gap.
Based on reports, the Exynos 2100 will be a considerable step forward. Samsung allegedly realized the shortcomings of its processors, and made significant improvements this time around.
It remains to be seen how accurate those claims are. The Exynos 2100 will probably become official on December 15. Samsung did not flat out confirm that, but it did tease an announcement that points to that happening.
We won’t see this chip inside a phone until 2021, though. Samsung is expected to announce its Galaxy S21 flagships in mid-January, and those will be the first phones to ship with the Exynos 2100.
