Differences between Galaxy S models of the same name have been reported for years. The reason: Samsung uses different processors depending on the region. Now the S22 Ultra has a peculiarity that catches the eye. Depending on the model, camera recordings show deviations. DxOMark sees a difference between S22 and S22 To begin with: It is a tradition at Samsung to use two chipsets in its S-class Galaxy models - which are not always exactly on the same level. In the S22 family, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips are running in the USA and China, and Samsung's own Exynos 2200 is allowed to provide the drive internationally. As the camera specialists from DxOMark are now explaining, the models with the same camera hardware also show differences in the recordings due to different image processors and processing. So the different models can be assigned quite clear strengths and weaknesses. As Tomsguide summarizes the test results, the Exynos 2200 can deliver better images in tests with zoom, more details are preserved here, the image noise is less obvious. Another plus point compared to the Snapdragon sisters: video recordings are slightly better in poor lighting conditions and show fewer unwanted artifacts and less noise. Sounds like a win for the Exynos drive? Probably not, as Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips also show their strengths in one area and this is probably of great importance for most users: DxOMark certifies the models with this chip slightly better properties in normal photography, which is reflected in better "light mood and texture". And so the conclusion is pretty clear: Just because of the different results in photos and videos, you probably shouldn't go through the hassle of chasing down a Samsung Galaxy model that isn't actually available in the region. DxOMark rates the performance too similar for that - only with slight differences, where you can see pluses and drawbacks. The Snapdragon vs. Exynos discussion will probably not cool down.
