https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuNNmf2gIRcIn TheTechChap's video, the Exynos chip is slightly better than Snapdragon. So just appreciate both these chip and don't complain much. They are roughly the same. I believe those who keep saying Snapdragon variant is better or Exynos variant is worse won't even buy S21 series.

QUOTE(dawho @ Feb 8 2021, 09:28 AM) this is because the first time u register your fingerprints was on th phone screen...so when u put TP glass there is a second layer of glass that will make it hard for the sensor to read your previously registered finger print....so it is wise if u want to install a TP then deleter theregistered fingerprint...then after u have applies the TP register it back...and to make it more sensitive...turn on the sensitivity option in the phone to get better result...so after u have installed the TP the sensor will go pass thru both the phone screen and tempered glass... I have a question. I still have the original Note 10 plastic screen protector that came out of the box. But I never have problem with fingerprint sensor. So does it means plastic SP all have no problem?

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Feb 8 2021, 06:30 PM) I mean the top speaker not the bottom speaker. The top speaker having lining gap hole which is risky if the glue spilt into it... that's my worry. You notice they didnt have sticket to cover top or I should say no way to cover top speaker. Not enough spilled out, it was a tiny bit and easily wiped away

Let's hope this vid puts to rest the entire debate on which is better. probably the yields of these SD and Exynos varies. I remember few years back during HTC android days where people flash custom kernels and roms all the time. That between each phone have to check the binning of the chips also different bins different performance

I believe those who keep saying Snapdragon variant is better or Exynos variant is worse won't even buy S21 series. The unique part for this reviewer is having two same SoC phone, both are SD888 and yet it shows some slight performance difference even under same condition. All this comes down to silicone/binning quality which I just mentioned in my previous long post. All reviewers result is just inconsistent, which is why I have said before to use it as a standard guideline and do your own homework to test it yourself once you owned those devices. What I can say is Snapdragon result seems to be more consistent compared to the Exynos counterpart which was all over the place among all the reviewers I have watched.

For those interested in the comparison of Sd888 and Exynos 2100 in more detail, can see this technical review from AT : https://www.anandtech.com/show/16463/snapdr...alaxy-s21-ultraTLDR - SD888 is still more efficient compared to E2100 - E2100 is massively improved compared to E990 - Kirin 9000 and SD865 is very efficient compared to SD888 and E2100. SD865 chips can provide more sustained perf. - Kirin 9000 GPU is more efficient compared to E2100 (more cores & lower clocks?) - Samsung 5nm is comparable only to TSMC 7nm. Can't beat TSMC 5nm (by as much 20% difference). Hence why the lower than expected gains for SD888 compared to SD865. This post has been edited by Demonic Wrath: Feb 9 2021, 07:03 AM

I believe those who keep saying Snapdragon variant is better or Exynos variant is worse won't even buy S21 series. This is good review at least proved the Antutu software temperature for Exynos is not accurate. You can see the temperature when tested from outside is actually almost same. I think the main problem why we fall into this debate is because, mrwhosetheboss's video put the RED CROSS on Exynos in his review makes the Exynos owner feel bad... including myself. He has to be careful before commend bad about exynos ... but of course everyone has right to say out their opinion. Just ignore his review.

Antutu reports CPU temperature, of course it will be much higher, whether the reporting is accurate for the latest Exynos 2100 (I can't confirm this). Temperature tested from outside is device temperature. You cannot get CPU temperature reading just by using that temperature measuring device ...., it can only be measured by software or if you disassembled the phone and measure the temp on the SoC itself.

You got the point. But I do believe if Exynos CPU temperature hit 56deg celcius, common sense tells the device body temperature will not stay 37-38 even cooler than SD. The heat dissipates thru whole body of phone and will feel hot. So I believe antutu reported wrongly about exynos CPU temp.
