The Galaxy S21 series is no exception this year, and still chooses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor to be launched. However, this year’s Snapdragon 888 was evaluated with Xiaomi Mi 11 and found that the performance was improved. However, when playing a resource-intensive game like Genshin, I found that the temperature It is higher than the previous generation, and the power consumption at peak is also significantly larger, causing a discussion. Now the Galaxy S21 series is the second flagship machine with Snapdragon 888 on the market, and it is very concerned about whether the performance is different from the Xiaomi Mi 11.

We haven't actually tried the Mi 11, so here's just the S21 Ultra, let's play some daily games to see.

game test

Before running the game, the device has been sorted to optimize, the brightness is fixed at 30%, and the game center is connected with Wi-Fi, and the "performance priority" is also turned on.

Play Real Racing 3 for an hour, the BP5039-15 pink line represents fps, the line at the upper part is when the number of laps is being run on the track, and the line at the bottom is when the number of laps is finished and the score is being calculated. when. It can be seen that it can run at a frame rate of 120fps. It is not always stable at 120fps, but most of the main games have a high frame rate, and the stutter rate mostly occurs when calculating scores.

This game does not use a high CPU usage rate. Although the super core clock is up to 1.4GHz, it is mostly around 1-1.2GHz when driving on the track. The CPU temperature is very stable and fluctuates around 45 to 47 degrees. Click to see larger image.

In the case of selecting ultra-high quality + 60fp frame rate, the average CPU usage during the team battle is 16-18%, and the ultra-large core clock is 1-1.4GHz. The average GPU usage is 22-23%, and the clock is very stable at 315MHz.

Another not high-performance game, but also supports 120fps Alto's Adventure, aside from the topic, this game is to keep skiing and jumping obstacles to collect points, but it is very Peace-healing, I like it very much.

This game is very stable and has been maintained at 120fps. In this game, the CPU and GPU usage rates are not high, and the CPU and GPU clock scheduling is also stable. The CPU is above 43 degrees, and the highest is 52 degrees.

Looking at the game record like a running account, the conclusion is?

Maybe Real Racing 3 and Final Moment are not serious games like Genshin Impact. It seems that the S21 Ultra doesn't have to use all its strength to run, and it doesn't see any outrageous unexpected heat, or it has been working at high frequency. Performance, heavy games can refer to many professional Snapdragon 888 evaluations, but in general, even some mid-to-high-performance action games should not feel overturned. Well, this is in an air-conditioned room, and the outdoor temperature may behave differently in summer.

But whether the screen can run at 120fps depends on the game optimization. However, when Real Racing 3 and Alto's Adventure tested the Note20 Ultra, they could not run 120fps. This time, I found that they have it. It seems that the S21 Ultra can play better. More support for games up to 120fps.

From the disassembly of some foreign S21 Ultra, it can be seen that it has graphite on the camera group, under the motherboard, under the screen, and the cover above the battery (below the wireless charging coil) to help heat conduction. At least the CPU temperature is not high after playing these three games. very high.

Electricity record

In terms of daily power, the conditions for recording are that the brightness is fixed at 50%, and the Wi-Fi connection is used to use functions such as Internet access, video, games, and video recording for one hour each (but a 5G SIM card is inserted), and the screen refresh rate And the resolution is maintained at the default 120Hz and 2400x1080. When playing games, it is also maintained in the performance mode. The electricity usage records are as follows:

The power consumption of browsing the web is higher than that of the previous models, but the power consumption of playing videos is quite economical.

When I tried the two games, I set the performance mode in the game center, but I checked later, Candy Crush is running at 60fps, and Real Racing 3 can run at 120fps, so it seems that I play light games. The power consumption is quite low. Although the performance game consumes more power, the ratio seems to be ok. The video recording is not unexpectedly power-hungry. Here is the record of FHD shooting. Insurance.

It seems that the power consumption of the daily functions of the S21 Ultra seems to be good. The power consumption of watching videos and light games is not large, and the Internet connection should not be so much to reduce the screen brightness. In addition, the S21 Ultrea has a built-in 5000mAh .

If you want to shoot more videos, you should pay attention to the battery.

Appearance and details

Since it was published, you should have seen a lot of introductions to the appearance of the S21 Ultra, so here are some details.

So far, I still remember the main body of the previous generation S20 Ultra. Compared with the S21 Ultra, the volume is a little smaller and the thickness is similar, but the weight is heavier. On the whole, it is still very large. I am thinking about the mobile phone. How big is the limit that everyone can accept

The S21 Ultra is still a curved screen, but the curvature of the curved surface is a little more right-angled, which also makes the screen look more boundless. Many people don’t like curved screens, but when you want to slide out the side toolbar or return, there are The surface operation is still relatively good.

Although I used Corning's most scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus, there is still a protective film on the factory screen... So I see scratches in the future (it shouldn't be the screen's fault)

The color of the screen is still very beautiful, the viewing angle is also very good, especially the brightness is quite good, although the peak brightness will only appear in some pictures when playing HDR movies, but the brightness is very clear when viewing maps and taking pictures outdoors. Such good brightness is needed.

Watching the disassembly video in the past two days, it is mentioned that the ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking parts of the S21 Ultra are significantly larger than the previous generation, which is helpful for the sensing area and the speed. Because the test is a new machine that has just been used, the speed is good. What happens in the long run will be shared with the classmates in the future.

The word rollover is very graphic, so it is impressive. Many people may only remember the word rollover from the beginning to the end, but they should keep a part of calm and understand that this does not refer to the whole situation, such as the several models recorded this time. Games, CPU, CPU usage, temperature, etc., all run smoothly, and the video and zoom calculations in the first two articles are indeed very good.

However, it cannot be denied that if the processor is to be regarded as a top flagship and technical iteration, it is not better than the previous generation in all aspects.

So there will be: is it better to buy the S865 flagship like the Note20 Ultra, or the S888 flagship like the S21 Ultra?

The most noticeable difference between the S21 Ultra is the high zoom and video quality, and some games can be played up to 120fps, which is very cool, and the power is also very good. If you value or need these, don't worry too much about the S888.

Others think that the difference between 91 and 92 should not be too disappointing.

But if you want to play Genshin Impact, or deal with 4K videos heavily, if you are worried, you can choose the flagship S865.
