The fact that Samsung is replacing the flagship Snapdragon processor in Europe with a replacement in the form of its own Exynos processor has been known for several years.
This step is criticized mainly because the Exynos processor usually does not reach such qualities as the known Snapdragons.
The situation is repeated in the case of the current flagship smartphone Galaxy S20 +, which offers the Exynos 990 processor in Europe. It is even worse than last year's Snapdragon and is beaten by one test after another.
It is also beaten by the cheap Redmi Note 8 Pro and the MediaTek processor
This time, he was even beaten by a MediaTek processor on a mid-range smartphone in a game comparison Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Samsung's processor also received criticism for failing to be competitive and deliver performance even compared to last year's Snapdragon 855.
This may not seem so bad at first glance, but another revelation has come.
A video released by a user named Chong Liu shows a game comparison model Galaxy S20 + (Exynos 990) and a cheap mid-range smartphone Redmi Note 8 Pro (MediaTek Helio G90T).
By the way, previous unsuccessful comparisons with the South Korean Exynos processor come from the same source.
Game comparison demonstrates performance on a mobile game PUBG Mobile, while the more expensive flagship smartphone offered a display of only 10 frames per second after 50 minutes, which, in addition, dropped to only 20 frames per second after 40 minutes. Such a decrease was not recorded even by a several times cheaper smartphone from Redmi.
Exynos 990, as the current model, again struggles with continuous performance under the graphic pressure of a more demanding 3D game.
Long-lasting performance is blamed on the Exynos chipset from Samsung. The video only continues to show how pathetic this situation is. Redmi Note 8 Pro as a cheap smartphone simply offers a better gaming experience.
An important factor is the price
While for Samsung Galaxy S20 + the user in Slovakia pays almost 1000 euros in the official distribution, as well as in the official distribution it is enough for Notes redmi 8 Pro, the winner of the test, pay just under 250 euros.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Global
For the price of Samsung, you can even have 5 pieces of the cheaper Redmi model, which can handle long-term gaming without a drop in performance. The choice is yours.
Even so, I'd rather buy an S20 than a red…
