The much-anticipated Galaxy S24 series from Samsung has finally hit the pre-order market, with eager customers prepared to get their hands on the devices soon. While many have already jumped on the pre-order bandwagon, a significant number of potential buyers are holding out for detailed reviews, particularly concerning the performance of the Exynos 2400 chip compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models.
Thanks to the efforts by NL Tech’s YouTube channel, we have our first glimpse into the benchmark scores and battery life of the Exynos 2400 variants of the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+.
Performance and Battery Life of the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 Lineup
Recent videos by NL Tech have laid out comprehensive benchmarks and battery life statistics for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. The performance of the Exynos 2400 chipset in gaming has been previously discussed, and now attention shifts to the overall capabilities of these smartphones.
Geekbench 6 Scores
Highlighted in the video, the Galaxy S24’s single-core and multi-core CPU tests brought in scores of 2,131 and 6,785 points, respectively. A close comparison, the Galaxy S24+ achieved 2,139 points for the single-core and 6,634 points for the multi-core test. Over on the Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, it scored higher with 2,289 for single-core and 7,123 for multi-core tests.
AnTuTu Benchmark Results
On AnTuTu’s platform (version 10.1.9), the Galaxy S24 garnered 1,546,699 points, with the Galaxy S24+ at 1,635,230 points, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra topping out at 1,766,906 points. Interestingly, despite having a smaller heat dissipation mechanism, the Galaxy S24+ fell short by only 7% to the Ultra model, whereas the Galaxy S24 lagged behind by 14%, perhaps limited by its 8GB RAM and smallest vapor chamber system administered.
In a subsequent test run, the Galaxy S24 scored 9% less, while the Galaxy S24+ remained 7% behind the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
3DMark’s Ray Tracing Performance
The Solar Bay benchmark from 3DMark allows for the evaluation of ray tracing performance in smartphones, a technology increasingly leveraged for enhanced graphics in gaming. Here, the Exynos 2400 version of the Galaxy S24 ranked impressively with 8,766 points at its peak and sustained a 55.6% stability score. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, in contrast, presented 50.3% stability, with its highest score at 8,590 points. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 came out as the leading performer with a best score of 8,855 points and a resilience of 56.1%.
3DMark Wild Life Extreme Test
The Galaxy S24 demonstrated respectable graphics performance with its best score at 4,432 points and stability of 53%. The Galaxy S24+ was closely matched with a best score of 4,322 points and enhanced stability of 55.4%. The Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra recorded the highest score at 4,931 points, but with a slightly lower stability rate of 49.1%.
Battery Endurance Comparison
Under the controlled setting of the PCMark battery life test, with a 120Hz display refresh rate and peak brightness of 100 nits, the Galaxy S24 offered an impressive 13 hours and 50 minutes of usage on a single charge. Close behind, the Galaxy S24+ afforded users 13 hours and 22 minutes of battery life, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra leads with a 15-hour endurance capability. Notably, all models surpassed last year’s counterparts in terms of battery lifespan.
In conclusion, benchmark assessments reveal that the Exynos 2400 processor closely competes within a 10% range of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, showcasing Samsung’s significant advances in Exynos chip performance. The Galaxy S24’s flagship Exynos 2400 processor now ranks almost on par with the current leading Snapdragon chipset, opening up enticing options for consumers in the high-end smartphone market.
