Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G right from its launch has received a lot of attention from technology enthusiasts because this device owns Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the latest chip of the “dragon” house, not the Exynos series. like its predecessors.
This has delighted gamers when Snapdragon chips have always been famous for their stable performance and high level of compatibility with applications and games.
A brief point about Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, this is the latest flagship processor that has just been launched by Qualcomm at the end of 2021. Manufactured on an advanced 4nm process, this chip owns up to 8 CPU cores according to the configuration. ARM’s brand new ARMv9 Cortex architecture. Among them, the Cortex-X2 main core clocked at 3.0 GHz, along with three high-performance Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.5 GHz and four power-saving A510 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz to support.
According to the manufacturer, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has 20% faster CPU performance and 30% more power consumption than Snapdragon 888 chip. Included in this processor is the Adreno 730 GPU core for 30% higher graphics processing performance and 25% more power savings than the previous generation Adreno GPU. As can be seen, all parameters of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are superior and are in the highest position in the Android smartphone segment at the moment.
On the other hand, Genshin Impact is always considered a big challenge for any smartphone. This open-world action-adventure role-playing game not only possesses a high-quality graphics platform, but also requires hardware performance as well as stable processing ability to ensure a smooth experience. throughout. So, will the above “terrible” processor help the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G conquer Genshin Impact – the game being considered a “hardware killer” at the highest settings?
The in-game system also warns the load “Too High” when setting the Max Setting configuration.
With the settings in all options being High or Extreme with a frame rate of 60 FPS, it can be seen that this is already the “max” setting configuration on the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G. As soon as the map loads successfully, start playing the frame rate is kept at approximately 50 FPS. In particular, in some locations on the map, the scene is less detailed and colorful, the frame can even reach a higher level of nearly 60 FPS.
The first few minutes, the frame is always stable at nearly 50 FPS, but there is still a slight drop. The reason for this may be because the map is still not really compatible, leading to the rendering when moving, causing lag.
However, this can only be maintained for about 3 to 5 minutes, the frame rate shows signs of gradually decreasing to the threshold below 40 FPS along with the CPU temperature increasing rapidly. Perhaps the problem of temperature on Snapdragon 888 has not been able to completely overcome Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. According to statistics from PerfDog software, the CPU temperature sometimes reaches 55°C and on average during 23 Continuous running minutes also stops at 52°C.
Start the game well in some locations the frame rate can go up to 60 FPS.
Fortunately, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G has a pretty good heat dissipation system, combined with a metal case, so it quickly dissipates heat, giving it a warm feeling, not to the point of “burning” your hand.
The frame rate is up to 58 FPS and the temperature is only 46°C when playing for a short time.
The frame dropped markedly after about 5 minutes of playing the game. However, the frame rate when playing back fluctuates greatly, sometimes up to over 60 FPS, showing that it depends greatly on factors such as map, terrain, and effects when playing.
An interesting point is that after a long time of playing, the frame rate in the game goes to a relatively stable direction, at about 30 FPS, showing that the machine seems to be “more familiar” with the game. The lag phenomenon almost does not appear, but instead is a fairly smooth experience. However, the temperature of the machine also shows signs of “cooling down” a bit.
The frame rate during combat is stable at over 30 FPS and there is no sign of lag.
In general, with a challenging hardware game like Genshin Impact, what the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G shows is still very convincing. Although it is not possible to bring and keep the 60 FPS figure as stable as the settings allow, the playing experience is still quite smooth and without any problems or significant lag. Remember, all visual effects settings are set to the highest level, showing that the machine is fully capable of providing the optimal game experience for most popular games today.
Besides a “terrible” configuration that also has an innovative camera, an S Pen and a variety of advanced technologies, the price of nearly 32 million VND still proves to be extremely worthy of what the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G brings.
