Exynos chipsets are known to get heated up and lag when you throw some demanding tasks at them, like gaming, video recording or editing.

SD variants of Samsung phones are ways the better choice to go with. If you've done some research, you'd see that most people having heating, battery drain, etc problems are those on the Samsung's Exynos chipset.

I'm still wondering how a chipset that lags and cut down your gaming FPS when it gets really warm, beats the A15 Bionic. One even shuts down users' video recording without warning, when "it gets too hot".

Guy check it on nano review. A15 bionic vs Exynos 2200

Chaos14:
But they created their own chip which is very good

I have used ezynos in Samsung note 9 and it's flawless but surprising I heard people complaining about exynos,maybe the complain is not about the premium phones though

see someone that understands. If it actually has a problem then its probably the hardware is still too heavy

Uncle no talk wetin you no know.
Firstly that exynos 2200 chip isn't only in Korea. It's everywhere. It's the counterpart of the snapdragon 8 gen 1.
Secondly, all exynos chips from time immemorial always fall behind in performance compared to the snapdragon one. This doesn't mean that the chip doesn't work well. It does, but is slower in performance. When you game on a exynos chip, framerates will drop, device get hot, etc.

You're saying the hardware is too heavy lmfao my God . See do more research before you drop this kind of hot take again, you hear?

It is the premium phones that have the issue. Not midrangers.

Omo bro the iphone prestige is not Nigeria alone oh. Hehehehe even there in the US, it's a status symbol still. Even tho you can get it on credit, a lot of people still can't afford it and would be other brands instead. It's not just here Dem dey use am brag. It's a really big deal for them too, hence the rush to upgrade as soon as possible, and you'll see millions of views in YT for any iphone related news or reviews.

You’re right sha. Kudos to the man behind apple’s marketing team. They make it clear that their products are not for everyone yet they’re raking in millions in profits and market shares annually. Oppo thought this marketing ideology would also work for them by slapping huge price tags on their plastics forgetting that unlike them, apple makes sure that their products are always worth the hype (the build quality). Nobody likes spending money on ‘expensive shits . So it’s not by being ridiculously expensive. Apple now enjoys worldwide cult-like ‘mumu’ fanbase that even if apple fuckup, they (the die-hard fans) still find a way to defend them e.g removal of charger brick and apple’s lack of innovation nowadays) Can these said fans be tagged as being ‘mumu’ or apple is just doing something right ? If it’s the later, then the mumuness is justifiable. We all want good value for money and I think they’re doing relatively well in that regard.
Imagine a 2015 phone still in circulation and still in active competition with relatively newer phones. That’s prestige. iPhone 7+ of sept 2016 ( 7 years ago) still selling for 90k naira. No be juju be that
Apple’s juju man in charge of this brilliant marketing strategy should be arrested and investigated.

Samsung, Xiaomi (some models still ship), Oppo, oneplus, etc don't ship with a charger brick

The Iphone is not really a status symbol here in the US. For example, almost half of all smartphone users here use an Iphone. That's a whole lot of Iphones. mainly because during the early days of smartphones, Iphones were being sold by all the carriers. So most folks had no choice but to use an iphone. And it's still the case up till now. it's definitely not a status symbol here at all. I am an android person and like its flexibility. However, it's just that some of he carriers here give you limited choice. I have always used unlocked android devices. Until AT&T recently started to disable sim cards that are not using one of their approved android devices. Because of VoLTE compatibility. So I could no longer use my android devices. My last iphone was the iphone 4s, until I had to use my daughter's old Iphone 11. Slowly getting used to the IOS again though.

I feel you.

Auskyd i made a mistake when i said korea i meant europe. Exynos is only available in europe and some othere regions. Thats why you have to import exynos from europe and SD straight from korea.
secondly as oga tecnolad says that is not good to let your phone do heavy tasks. But look at this apps developed for apple. They are specially made for their ios, so developers take their time for these apps too make sure it doesn't stress the system. But you see apk creators they don't bother about that because they don't have to. Because of too many androids so whats the point of trying. Why would you even want to see the limit of your chip

Read what I said again. I didn't say that your phone shouldn't be made to do heavy tasks.

Have been following the thread since, quite an interesting and educative thread.

Though I feel like other's have said iphone is a great phone with an amazing ecosystem but there are other phones too that are also amazing like the Google pixel, Samsung S series, Hauwei, and few others, techno and Infinix aren't even allowed to enter the car park talk less of being in the building for discussion where these phone's are being mentioned no offense though to their user's.

Just that lot's of Nigerians and some Africans feel if you use an iPhone you have arrived in life Lol.

Reading y’all comments from 7plus

Soon resale this and get the xs or x

Later resale and get the 11 or 11pro

If dem do anyhow after that i sell all buy android no be phone i come this life come buy and no be for this nigeria economy I know like stress

Boss, Transsion marketers are coming for your head in 3,2,1.., brace up
And @bolded is especially annoying but for now, I don’t think any manufacturer come close to the apple ecosystem IMO. Android (particularly Samsung) are just trying. Also, just take your time and try to get the Apple Watch series(5, SE, 6 or even 7) and compare to any corresponding android counterpart (Galaxy watch, Fitbit or Redmi watch) then you would realize that android never ready to be sincere

Bro the Samsung watches are better lol. I've used both and I can tell you , you're more productive with a Samsung watch than an apple one. No cap.

You can't view images on Apple watch. If they come as messages, it's heavily pixelated until you open it on your phone. Apple watches na hype. A lot of it's functions can't be used here.

Actually the 6s and 7 series received the latest 15.5 alongside the others upto 13 series. Apple might stop the updates come iOS 16 though. Even if they don't receive 16, apple might still be giving it incremental updates to the 15 like 15.5.1 or 15.6 and so on.

Nice thread but I want to make a point. All phones break. Be it your 1m naira samsung or iphones, heck even the costly macs and high end laptops from pc manufacturers. They all break.

Bro, 16 is the latest and it's out already. They've dropped the 7 and 6 series. You're seriously outdated on this info. There's no "might", they've stopped it already. And those incremental updates come like once or twice in 5 month or even a year.

Do your research on this one.

I bet you've not used any exynos powered premium devices from Samsung.

Granted in benchmark, Snapdragon always come out the better of the chipsets. In reality, they are both the same except in sustained performance as exynos tends to heat up.

Again, exynos chipsets offers better supports for developers and android fans. If you want to know how fast your s21 ultra (exynos version) is try custom ROM on it

Exynos gives better support for developers and Android fans? No wonder all mobile manufacturers are using them.

There's no reason to use Exynos when Snapdragon is better in almost every way, except you want double SIM features.

Talking about Custom ROMs; if I told anyone that "for you to enjoy Iphone to its maximum, jailbreak it," it would sound ridiculous to many. While I get your point and it's valid; why would one wants to go through bootloader unlocking, rooting and using custom ROM on a phone that expensive?

By Developers in this context, I mean android/Samsung fans who want the latest and greatest android software on their device irrespective of how old the device is.

Secondly, most OEMs/phone manufacturers do not use exynos not because it does not perform but because of Snapdragon patents and royalty not in FRAND. Snapdragon developed a technology in their chip (I think CDMA, I can't remember) that forces other OEMs to rely on SD especially on devices sold in the US.

Your claim that none of the OEMs is using exynos chipsets is false and misleading. Vivo is still using exynos chipsets. Those devices won't be available for the US market. Xiaomi and Oppo with their subsidiaries are signing agreements to have exynos chipsets for markets outside China and the US because of the void creates by Huawei.

Again, Snapdragon is not better in every way. Better in sustained performance not overall.

I know u like iPhones. Everyone's got his/her favourite brand. Here, I am only referring to chipsets that power everything on android. I think Jailbreaking is a term in android that means having root privileges. Bro, u can have custom ROM on your device without rooting it. What I was implying is getting rid of the bloated OneUI features and using less feature-rich custom android os like pixel from google

It's the latest update and not 15 anymore. Let's clear that one out of the way first.

These are some solid arguments here and I must say, you did your homework.

I like Iphones just as much as I like Android devices; however, I use each of these devices based on how innovative I find them - I'm not a brand loyalist.

About SD adding a feature that "forces" people to use their chipsets, I think it's not entirely true. People still use Kirin, MTK, etc in the US.

About the CDMA thingy, this is only for people who use AT&T, I think. If you've seen the recent iPhone 12 and 13 series, you'll discover that some have some special 5G sensors on their sides to enable them be compatible with the aforementioned networks.

Finally, I'm a little rusty and so curious to know how possible it is to install a custom ROM without rooting? I thought you'd be unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk
