Okay guys this is the battle video you've been waiting for between the snapdragon triple eight versus the Enos 2100 for the galaxy s21 ultra, and this will be all about gaming. So, let's jump in hey guys, welcome to this video. This is thunder again on the channel, and thank you for watching. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button.

I finally got my hands on the Enos version and I asked you guys simple question: what kind of games would you like me to see, especially graphically intensive games, and you guys spoke, and I added a few more to this list? I took one out which is fortnight because, honestly, it's not been updated yet, so I'm taking that out of the picture, but some of you asked for evil lands, and that was the new inclusion to my list. But before we get into that gaming section, let's look at take a look at both devices. This galaxy s21 ultra in black is the snapdragon triple e version. The US version, while the phantom silver is the Enos 2100, they look very similar. They are no differences on their devices, except just a slight detail on the back of the device where you do have the Samsung logo on both, but on the Enos version you have the IME number written on there and a few other things which I guess is just what you have to do in Europe, but either way both devices are the same.
They both have uh, of course, HD plus displays, and this displays our 120 hertz variable, refresh rate, which is something we can see clearly on both displays, and it is nice to see now in terms of performance. This is where we're going to take a look at some benchmarks first, before we get into some gaming. So, let's start off with our very first set of benchmarks, so the very first benchmark is 3d mark which we're going to be running on both devices, with, of course, the snapdragon on my left and the Enos on the right, and once it's all said and done, the scores are very close, but the Enos has the edge 5737 compared to 5702 the average frame rate for the accidents at 34.4 frames per second and 34.1 frames per second, which seems that look they're pretty much close together. Now we do know that the Enos device had clocks at a higher clock speed about 2.8, while snapdragon is clocked at 1.84 for the cores. But does this mean that the Enos is now finally better? I don't think so, but does it mean the snapdragon is less not really again, those numbers are really, really close.
Now, let's take a look at our very first game because of course, benchmarks didn't tell you all the story, and I'll start off with, of course, tried and true trusted Call of Duty. Mobile now Call of Duty mobile is something that runs really well a lot of devices, and I shouldn't see any kind of differences now before we start, I use a benchmark tool called game bench I like to use game bench because it allows me to go in and see a lot of things definitely use them if you want to the link, is down below so with game bench. Looking at Call of Duty mobile on the snapdragon triple h device, we have an average of 60 frames per second uh, which is pretty nice and fps stability is 99, while on the Enos version, it is also the same at 60 frames per second with fps stability at 99. We also see that on the Enos version, the ram usage is up to 1200 megabits per second, while on the snapdragon version, the ram usage is at a thousand megabits per second, so slightly less but again, very, very similar in terms of performance, so that is actually pretty cool. Now, let's move on to a game that is more intensive in terms of uh GPU actualization that is PUBG mobile and, of course, with PUBG.
We always use various settings for the game now. One thing I did find, and hopefully it changes but gives the snapdragon version an edge is that you cannot play PUBG at ultra HD. That is just not possible right now on the Enos version, they said an update will be coming, so we'll have to wait and see. So I couldn't test that, but with of course the snapdragon version. It does run PUBG at that, and it runs at uh 40 frames with 100 fps stability.
So that's something the snapdragon version can do. Currently, the exodus version cannot, but we still have to compare them. So smooth extreme is the setting we went for and with smooth extreme uh. The snapdragon version did a solid 60 frames per second 99 fps stability and uh. The average uh memory usage is 906 megabits per second.
Now, when we move over to the Enos version again: 60 fps, 99, fps stability and the round usage is 1082 a little higher again on the memory usage on the Enos version, but it still seems that you can run the game at that setting quite well. So that is definitely good to know now, as we continue. The next thing we want to do is run another benchmark test, and this time it is geek benchmark 5. , so we geek benchmark 5. We can see the difference between the clock speeds for both the snapdragon and the Enos version, and how does that actually compare when we actually run those benchmarks, so in single core performance, the snapdragon is at a thousand one hundred and twenty-six, while the action is a thousand one hundred uh a thousand one hundred and twelve, while the multi-core performance of the snapdragon is 3487 and the Enos is 3467.
So what does that mean? Again, it's really close. So to me, this tells me that Enos has closed that gap in terms of benchmark performance matrix and what we've seen so far gameplay-wise. It's also kind of matched that as well so as far as I'm concerned, they're pretty much close in terms of uh performance, but you guys have seen those numbers, but I know you guys care about performance in gaming, so how does benching impact actually perform on both devices? Let's jump in and check that out, so we'll start off with the Enos version this time, and this is where we saw some interesting uh performance differences, so we set Gandhi at its max performance at 60, fps, everything at high for both and on the Enos version. It ran an average of 50 frames per second 96 fps stability. The ram usage was at 2 000 gigabytes, so basically, two gigs of ram was used for this, which was quite different and as we move over to the uh snapdragon version, snapdragon ram gen shin at 60fps with a hundred percent fps stability.
So there's a difference there in performance, not that much it's 10 fps. If it's something you care about, but again you know what we want to run games at 60 fps. So that actually shows me there's a much more difference and again, the ram usage is much lower at 1 57, so 500 megabits of ram less in usage. So again, performance is more balanced and also better on the snapdragon version, but the excellent version is not far off now before we get into evil lands. I want to talk about temperatures.
This is where I am shocked this year, with Samsung. Usually Samsung has some perfect thermals on the devices in the past. I've never passed 104 degrees with both devices I got to 109. Now the exodus actually ran a little hotter at some points, but the average is around 109 degrees, uh, which I just found really shocking. It got too close to like 110 12 uh for the Enos version, while the snapdragon was like 100 910 again.
This is something that I don't know what's happening with Samsung here. It just runs too hot for me. Maybe it's because they're just trying to push it as much as possible, but temperatures. Beware because this I found intriguing while playing evil lance, which is a suggestion you guys gave. So I want to thank you for that and when we move to evil lands here we also see some clear, distinct differences again, so evil lands on the snapdragon triple h version.
I got an average fps of 80 81 frames per second with fps stability of 88 and ram usage of 1200, so it ran above 60 frames quite well. This game can can do 120 frames, but it's really hard. It's a gorgeous game. By the way it looks absolutely beautiful, it's one that you should get definitely check how to play now on the Enos version. Here we see and 89 fps average and fps stability at 96 percent.
So much better fps stability here and ram usage is 1400, so here this is where the Enos does a bit better in terms of fps stability over the snapdragon, but the fps range is still the same as roughly around 8 fps difference. Although again, what we've clearly seen across the board is that the ram usage is the same across the board. Now I also want to talk about one other benchmark tool which you've probably seen throughout the video, and this is game plug-in. I want to thank you guys for also mentioning this. This is a built-in plug-in uh for galaxy devices.
You can get in the galaxy store that shows you, the fps. You can also customize the things you want to do on the side, and you can also have the fps stated on any side of your screen now. This is a good tool to use because it also confirms what I'm seeing here with game bench now. One more game you guys also mentioned was uh. Sky is a fun game, and I was actually hoped to play this game for quite a bit now in terms of fps range.
This game is locked in at 32 frames per second for both the snapdragon and the Enos version. So you're really not getting any difference here, but it's a lovely game for you guys to check out now when it comes to emulators. Some of you are asking: is there a difference between the snapdragon version and the Enos version? We tried two emulators red ream and, of course, PS2 emulation. We red ream it was fine. They both ran at 60fps for both the snapdragon triple eight and the excellence version, and when we played golf of war ii on both the snapdragon and the exodus version, they both ran at 60 fps and the games played pretty well.
I did play touch screen on the exodus for the snapdragon version. The x knows, I actually use my racer key sheet, but either they were about 60 fps, so if you're using emulators on both you're going to get some really solid performance. So what are my final thoughts right? What is the gaming difference between the snapdragon version and the excellence version? Honestly they're pretty much the same. I mean there are some such differences here and there we do know. PUBG currently doesn't have ultra HD, but I think that's just an update, and we do know there is a difference in getting impact in about 10 fps and also there's also a slight difference with x.
In those version have a higher performance slightly higher performance in evil ads. So it means they are roughly around the same with just the margin of difference. So if it was a plus or minus five, then it's really just close by a five fps difference with the snapdragon taking the slight edge. So if you are in a region right now that you are looking to pick up a galaxy s21 ultra the excellence version, I can tell you from the benchmarks I'm seeing here, while gaming you're getting the same performance as we are getting here in the US. I think a lot of people would like to hear that and that's pretty good.
So I think gaming wise is pretty much close together in terms of battery life and battery performance. I know a lot of you asked me to do a battery drain test, which is something I don't like to do. I don't think anybody does it well. Furthermore, I can tell you that battery drain with my most Jacky battery drain, app uh, which is called generic battery drain, basically came out to them draining at the same time, so it boats in about 3 hours and 30 seconds just using the application there, and it seems like from all I've seen from other people, is that they both have the same equivalent battery life. So you should be happy with that kind of performance.
