GAMING PERFORMANCE — COMMUNITY/THIRD-PARTY REPORTS

PUBG Mobile / BGMI	Up to 90 FPS on Ultra HDR frame rate settings (Snapdragon 865); Exynos 990 variant generally runs lower/less stable frame rates on the same settings
Call of Duty: Mobile	Stable 60 FPS on High/Very High graphics (Snapdragon 865); Exynos 990 comparable but with more thermal throttling on longer sessions
Genshin Impact	Frequently fluctuates between 37-52 FPS even at max settings, regardless of chip variant — thermal throttling and the game's own frame-cap mechanisms limit sustained 60 FPS
Overall Gaming Performance	Snapdragon 865 delivers strong, consistent performance across most titles. The Exynos 990 variant (Europe/Asia markets) is noticeably behind in sustained gaming due to weaker GPU (Mali-G77) and more aggressive thermal throttling — a well-documented gap for this generation.
