The Galaxy sold in Europe have always stood out through the use of Exynos processors. One of Samsung’s strengths as a smartphone maker is the ability it has as a component maker, integrating its own displays, memories, photographic sensors, and its own processors into their mobiles, a very smart move that never happens. not always see with good eyes.
The US version of the best Samsung phones is usually distinguished by the use of Snapdragon processors, which has caused controversy as this version has excelled in performance compared to the one available in our country. What we didn’t know until now is that the Exynos version is not inferior in everything, but may be better in photography.
DxOMark analysis reveals big difference between Snapdragon and Exynos
DxOMark is a medium which in recent years has gained great popularity in its photographic analysis. As we always say, the tests carried out do not necessarily have to correspond to the fact that a mobile with a better score will always make better photos, because although the tests are very rigorous, they are always carried out by professionals in very difficult circumstances. specific.
However, that the tests are the same if it serves as a measuring stick in the comparison of two Samsung phones which are of the same model. The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, since the medium specialized in photography put both versions to the test, obtaining the following results:
- Photography:
- Exynos version (Europe): 122 points.
- Snapdragon version (US): 119 points.
- Zoom:
- Exynos version (Europe): 76 points.
- Snapdragon version (US): 75 points.
- Exynos version (Europe): 76 points.
- Video:
- Exynos version (Europe): 106 points.
- Snapdragon version (US): 103 points.

Why does it make more sense than it looks
Mobile photography is extremely complex and we’ve come a long way since the days when the only thing that mattered was the quality of the sensor. Today, the final image that we see after pressing the capture button is a combination of shots that are processed and mixed by powerful computational algorithms, as well as improvements by artificial intelligence.
In all of this work, processor components such as the ISP (Pprocessor Ssignal Imagen) and the NPU (Unity of Pfriction NOTeural) are in charge of processing via complex algorithms. Since it is Samsung who designs the cameras and their own algorithms, it makes sense that their own processors are able to achieve better photographic performance as they are also designed by them.
In the same way that we don’t consider differences in performance to be a key factor in determining whether a Galaxy is not worth the money because the version that is not in our country is worse, neither do we believe that the differences in photography are a reason to choose one model or another, but they show us that the Exynos are still outstanding processors.
