Normally I do not set a lot of store by benchmark tests but since I am briefly in possession of both the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G 16GB/512GB and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 16GB/512GB, until I have to return the S20 for trade-in, I thought I would try a Geekbench 5 CPU benchmark test for the hell of it.

Both phones are the global Exynos model, G988B D/S and G998B D/S, on the latest non carrier branded, stock Samsung firmware, CUA3 and AUAC, and are both identically set up on 120 Hz and adaptive battery.

These are the results between the 2 devices...

Looks as though Samsung have improved on the Exynos 990 with the latest Exynos 2100. It helps make the £829/US$1,137/€939 to upgrade a little easier to bear.

Since I have still not been asked to return my Galaxy S20 Ultra for trade-in yet, I have compared the 3DMark Wild Life scores on it with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Both phones are identically set up and running the latest stock, unbranded, Samsung firmware for CSC code BTU, (U.K.). S20 Ultra = CUA8. S21 Ultra = AUAC
