Exynos can support 8k 60frames & 4k 240frames A15 , 4k 60frames? Really? Even last exynos is better than that.

Sure but have you seen how ugly the 8k footage is? Apple has better video processing if you do your research Apple does video better but Samsung has the edge in photos.

The A15 is more powerful in any way, look at the geek bench scores, but I am not sure about the Antutu Versions used. The apple version is always behind. Anyway, it is wrong to compare these two different platforms. The RAW power is not what makes the phones better than the others. No one is talking about specs, cause phones are more than fast enough.

Why? Why look at some useless benchmark when we can look at real-world performance and ACTUAL unbiased benchmarks like Antutu? In the real world, the A15 Bionic and the Exynos 2200 get similar performance, and after the performance update for the Exynos 2200 it actually might even have better GPU performance - I own one. That is reality - Geekbench is completely biased towards the CPU inside the SoC which is the LEAST impactful on performance in a smartphone. GPU performance and low power performance matter the most because the OS depends on OpenGL which is mostly rendered by GPU.

Whoever voted for the Exynos 2200 clearly is blind and an Android Fanboy. The Exynos 2200 isn’t even close to being as good as the A15. Shame how Android Fanboys are everywhere.

Can you enlighten us? AnTuTu score is lower for example.

You can't really say this because there are some factors that make apple a15 more powerful like apples complete control over their software and hardware which means more optimizations. the Exynos 2200 might be more powerful in terms of raw performance like we see that it scores higher than the a15 so it's very hard to say who is more powerful but since they are both flagship chipsets you can play most mobiles games smoothly even in high settings so it's hard to see the difference between for most normal people.

Lolz, Yeah on YouTube if you look at active tests between iPhone 13 pro max and Samsung s22 ultra, the clear winner is iPhone 13 pro max, even having a superior battery life at 10 hrs and 36 mins, while Samsung s22 ultra battery life ranges from around 8 hours and 8 minutes.

Android fanboy, Tech enthusiast here. You do realize Antutu scores are actually not cross-platform comparable? That being said, Antutu is useless in Androids vs iPhone. 3DMark + Geekbench + GFXBench together give you a pretty good overall result. Far more accurate than Antutz cross-platform for sure.

Android fanboy, The Exynos 2200 is a real battery drainer, and it tends to overheat. When it comes to prolonged gaming, the Exynos just can't maintain its performance, and software updates can't fix the problems with these chips. They're based on a low-quality Samsung architecture. In contrast, iPhone is based on a high-quality TSMC architecture.

The A15 has a stronger CPU, but when you play an emulator, which is really GPU heavy, the Exynos wins.
