Hopefully they can give decent battery life too, it wasn't just performance which was a problem for the S20s
The biggest issue I heard with Exynos was battery life and heat being higher. That is more important than performance. What's the point in being super quick if you need to keep throttling due to heat and power! I understand it can also be an issue with the snapdragon 800 series but at least its less of an issue. Got to be honest the 700 series look far more useful from that point of view (and I guess that's why Google are using them in their flagship devices).
If they provide closer performance that'll be good, but I still would expect power consumption to be more than snapdragon.
I'm not sure of the details but this is the first Samsung SoC developed since they axed their custom core designs. I think they're "just" slapping the licenced Arm designs together, which should be an improvement.
I don't think people will mind a slight performance / battery life disparity. It was getting a bit silly though, when they were asking us to consider the products the same and to value them the same.
