Samsung’s fresh Galaxy S21 series is powered by the newest Snapdragon 888 in the US which may not beat Apple’s A14 in raw benchmarks, but has the exciting advantage to ship with a fully integrated 5G modem, as opposed to Apple’s tack-on modular solution that is a battery hog.
Consequently, Qualcomm boasts up to three times performance per watt improvement when compared to the Snapdragon 865 in the S20 and ditto for Samsung’s other S21 chipset, the Exynos 2100. Add to these the lower resolution that the Galaxy S21 uses, and the adaptive refresh rate screen technology, and it’s party time.
