Here’s a gaming test/review for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – Exynos 2200 vs Snapdragon 8G1. Both variants have been out for nearly 10 months now which is plenty of time for developers to optimise their games for both chipsets – is this the case however? Let’s find out! Use the timecodes below to skip to whichever game you wish to see.
Note that GOS has not been disabled on either phone. It is currently now available for the Exynos 2200.
Both phones have Good Guardians installed with Thermal Guardian set to +2C

Great test! For gaming, I personally use Geforce Now which bypasses the phone GPU and allows for 120FPS 4K in Genshin Impact, while barely draining the battery. I believe that in a few years, phone GPUs will be less and less relevant, thanks to cloud gaming.
The reason CPU usage is higher (and performance lower) on the 2200 is the Xclipse GPU doesn't have any OpenGL drivers, so it has to run any OpenGL games through the Angle translation layer, which transposes the API calls to Vulkan.
Unfortunately very few mobile developers use Vulkan (despite it being out for almost 7 years now) and are still using OpenGL.
Supposedly on apps with a native Vulkan implementation (e.g. emulators where you can change the graphics API) the 2200 is the superior GPU by a bit.
Still that doesn't change that in practice it's the worse choice for gaming.
For genshin impact part I would say is not directly comparable as the E2200 in the begin was in the city which is a much heavier place than where the 8G1was, but then you entered a domain in the exynos, which is much easier than what the Snapdragon was doing and even like that it got lower fps
PUBG mobile was a shocker on the Exynos S22U, the game has more options available for both graphics and framerate on my S21U with Exynos 2100. This lack of Exynos optimisation is why I will only upgrade my S21U to S23U if the SoC in the UK this time is the Snapdragon.
Exynos 2200 is not only inferior in terms of performance but also optimizarion since its GPU is unique so not all game devlopers will optimize for it
In the end, if Samsung doesn'rt come up with a processor with a competitive CPU and much faster GPU , it's not worth for they to even release it, as it's not only about performance

It s so sad that so many games are only optimized for snapdragon, leaving behind both exynos and dimensity. We need competition between different cpu but devs don t seem to care much about it
