Higher clocks on the Exynos 1580 (2.9 GHz prime) edge out the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4's 2.8 GHz β†’ snappier app launches and faster game loading compared to those Oppo Reno Snap variants. Snap 7 Gen 4 getting cooked fr πŸ”₯

After trying the Samsung Galaxy A54, I found that Exynos processors suffer from lying due to reviewers on social media platforms. I loved its system and processor, I'm still using it today and writing my review from it, it was an excellent deal for $350 mid-2023, 256 GB, my previous phone from Xiaomi with Snapdragon 855+ processor, my new phone is better in performance and smoothness especially in PUBG

Gota, He means that there is a lot of people that hate on Exynos 1580, 1480, 1380 while those people haven't used a phone with any of those chips. Sure, 1280 absolutely sucked, and now only that chip broke Samsung's reputation with their mid-range Exynos chips. This one in particular has crazy efficiency on Galaxy A56, it doesn't throttle much, and overall it's a very good chip. It's just that people hate on a phone when they see an Exynos chip and they didn't even touch that phone. They just lie about it and they don't even try to research if it's really as bad as they think it is.

Marinko, True. Besides, the more, the merrier. Imagine if only MediaTek and Qualcomm were on the market - prices would be higher. Qualcomm is already pretty expensive and MediaTek wouldn't settle for much lower prices.

Marinko, Agreed. But the 1280 isn't that bad now after updates. My dad uses and m34 with that chip and he loves the phone. I have an a35, and the Exynos 1380 doesn't heat up that much, except while gaming

Mrsch, Ye i agree with that. That's why we need competition and if Samsung ever stop producing Exynos chips then that would be bad for basically every phone buyer.

Mee, That's great to hear. I remember wanting the A53 with 1280 and basically every single review (people that actually used the phone, not the ones talking smack on the internet while never having that phone) said it was really overheating and phone was just really laggy overall. So at the launch it was pretty bad, but glad that they optimized it after some time. About 1380, so much better than 1280 and i think only issue with it was just sustained performance (at least in A54) and heating but nothing really crazy.
