The user created an online petition asking Samsung to stop using the Exynos chip

The performance gap between Samsung's Exynos chipset and Qualcomm's Snapdragon has lasted for years, forcing users to speak up.

An online petition has been created on Change.org to protest the use of Exynos processors in Samsung phones. The petition expects Samsung to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors in place of its own Exynos processors. They also called on Samsung to use Sony's camera sensor instead of the Korean company's sensor.

" These components (manufactured by Samsung) are inferior, and there are many online comparisons that show that ," the online petition said. " Exynos phones are slower, have less battery life, have less camera sensors and image processing capabilities, are hotter and fall faster, . "

Indeed, Exynos-powered Samsung devices often perform worse than Snapdragon-powered versions. The company often launches versions that use Exynos - especially flagships like the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note - in markets like Asia and Europe. Meanwhile, similar Samsung phones launched in North America use a Snapdragon processor.

Depending on the chip generation, there may be a big difference in your experience. For example, the Snapdragon 865 using the Cortex A77 cores has up to 20% more performance than the Cortex A76 core in Samsung's Exynos 990 chipset. High-end Snapdragon processors also use the Adreno 650 GPU, which outperforms the Mali G77 GPU on the Exynos chipset.

Up to now, approximately one day after being created, more than 2,600 people have signed the online petition.

In fact, performance gaps between comparable Snapdragon and Exynos devices have been around for years, since Samsung launched its flagships. However, recently the company said it was discussing with AMD to enhance GPU performance on Exynos chipsets for better processing capabilities.

Hopefully the petition will cause Samsung to change the look of its own Exynos processors. In early November 2019, Samsung shut down its Exynos chipset development division in the US, which could be an indication that the company wants a different approach to home-grown processors.
