Well, I have a doubt. Versus says Exynos 1380 is better 64-60 than Snapdragon 6 generation 3. But also I have seen informations saying Snapdragon 6 generation 3 is better than Exynos 1380. So really, which is better? Because I'm thinking of buying an A35 5g with Exynos 1380 or an A36 5g with Snapdragon 6 generation 3 πŸ™„.

Just go for sd 6 gen 3 over 1380 . You get stable and consistent performance and network performance . 1380 has several complains about inconsistent 5g network.

Since, Snapdragon 6gen 3 was manufactured by Samsung does it overheat like the Exynos chips?

Samsung made the mistake of delivering a lower version of this A26 to Latin America (1280). Whoever buys this phone will suffer from slower memory. (Translated automatically by Metaβ„’)

Performance is pretty much the same using the same SoC, the A35 has a better vapor chamber cooler so performance might be a little stronger but not by much.

If you want better connectivity, go for the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. The modem on the Exynos 1380 is kinda trash. Even in urban areas, the 5G speeds I get are usually less than 200 Mbps.
