GSMArena Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888

Interesting results - look basically identical, seems to be at odds with other reports we've seen? I've never seen such high Geekbench 5 scores on my exynos unit (I get a 3100 multicore max)

Comparing the OG G1 to the Pixel 4a 5G. What a long way we have come since 2008.

I've been looking for days and the only benchmark score I could find for a G1 was a Geekbench 3 score of 45. Single core only obviously. If we just compare single cores the 4a 5G nets 2825. A nearly 63x improvement. And that's not even counting the other 7 cores at the Pixel 4a 5G's disposal. If we do that it's 150x. 192mb of ram vs 6gb? A 32x increase.

FYI: The S21 Ultra and S21 have a very different camera system this year.

Unlike last year, this year the S21 Ultra has a clear advantage outside zoom. This is an important distinction that only a few reviewers like Andrew Martonik (DigitalTrends) point out:

>Zoom capabilities aside, the S21 Ultra’s camera is so clearly a level above the base S21. The clarity, sharpness, and colors are all next-level. Then you add in capable zoom, where the S21 is lacking … it’s not a competition.The S21 still struggles indoors. The Ultra is much much better. tweet

S21, is the camera still washed out?

I have an s21, and many people in the comment sections have mentioned that Samsung is doing a really good job to allow users to disable the "beauty-mode" and switch to "natural". I have tried the Natural mode and turned off the scene optimized. To be honest, I am still not satisfied with the results. Samsung, at least at base s21 models, still is implementing the "beauty-mode" in postprocessing. Look at the differences between the Stock app and ZGCAM in indoor lighting conditions.
