At this point, we don’t need to remind you of the disaster that is Samsung’s Exynos 990. With users complaining of overheating, crippled battery life, and other autofocus problems, is it any wonder why the company is rumored to use an updated variant of the chipset called the Exynos 992 in the Galaxy Note 20 family? To see more evidence of how poorly the Exynos 990 performs, a gaming test comparison has been published, where the more expensive Galaxy S20 Plus is pitted against the more affordable Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is armed with MediaTek’s Helio G90T and according to several benchmarks, it outperforms the Snapdragon 720. However, Chong Liu showcases a gaming test comparison video in which even the Galaxy S20 Plus’ Exynos 990 isn’t sufficient enough to get past Xiaomi’s mid-ranger.
