At the time of publishing this article, more than 34,500 people They signed a petition on the Change.org portal asking Samsung stop selling Exynos-supported phones, and instead sells a variant of the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor to markets in regions such as the United States or South Korea.
The petition says that Calls are shown using Exynos to provide poor performance, have low independence and, in addition, use low quality sensors that are added to poor image processing. They also cry about problems too much.
However, What is the truth of these allegations? I'm afraid of a good part of it. Over the last few years, various tests, efficiency, photography and independence have shown a clear overview of Qualcomm's platforms Built on Samsung models related to siblings with an Exynos chip, I include when comparing Qualcomm's previous-generation models with the latest Exynos models. Therefore, it is not surprising that many product fans are disgusted by the company's decisions.
Samsung responds to the request
And it's not that followers The product is the only one disappointed with this decision. According to rumors South Korea has been interned SamMobile, the fact that Samsung has decided to sell the Galaxy S20 series models and Snapdragon chip to its native country would cause some embarrassment among members of the company's processor unit. In fact, some members of the group have tried to persuade Samsung – without success – to overturn the decision.
And besides all that, Samsung is confident that its Exynos chips they are able to bring repetitive experiences to what their Qualcomm partners have signed up for. At least, that suggests a statement shared with him recently SamMobile:
The Global S20 is a laid-back smartphone that has revolutionized the world with realistic test environments to deliver consistent and relevant functionality throughout the smartphone lifecycle.
But again, the evidence suggests the opposite by showing that the Exynos 990 processor is remarkably remarkable working less that the Snapdragon 865, and that its performance or photographic performance did not come to fruition, though the fact that the price of both items varied in different regions.
However, there may be hope. While it is highly unlikely that Samsung will close its Exynos division dedicated to processors, it is far from now that other brands like Vivo or Motorola have decided to bet on their models and that the difference in full-size, either too late or let's see early how the chips made by South Korea started offering the same experience as their Qualcomm counterparts, due to, among other things, the product's decision to stop making their own custom CPUs, and instead start using "standard" ARM Cortex CPUs.
On the other hand there are some indications Samsung intends to use AMD GPUs on their mobile devices with Exynos processors, something that could be another step in the right direction.
