 Hey guys Thunder E here, and this is the video you've been waiting for. I'm talking about gaming on the Galaxy S21 Ultra Yes, we took it out of its case. Actually, it's not really a case. That is more of a UV wireless sanitizing case, which is great I think everyone should get it check out the link down below. But anyway, thanks for jumping in and This video we're going to give you a deep dive into the performance and of course the capabilities of the Galaxy S21 Ultra When it comes to gaming so we'll be covering Android games We'll cover some emulators because you guys asked for that and we'll show you some game streaming as well Now the Galaxy S21 Ultra comes in at 6.8 inches. It's a big boy And this house is the brand new Snapdragon 9888 processor What does that mean? It means this is the fastest processor on the land in terms of Android processors And it also comes with up to 16 gigabytes of RAM So you can have a lot of things running in the background. That is really really good Now the battery is 5,000 milliamps and I will say this right off the bat I am very happy Samsung included a massive battery into this bad boy It gives you a lot of performance to do the things you need to do performance wise now that display is a 120 Hertz display Variable refresh rate and what that means it means is that your refresh rate changes to match what you're doing on screen And what I've noticed while using this device is that if you're not doing anything it drops down to 60 Hertz Now Samsung says it can drop down to 11 Hertz what I did find out it's 60 Hertz using the inbuilt Refresh rate indicator that you can see on the top left hand corner of the screen of the device This is built into Android 11. So any Android 11 device you can actually turn this on in developer options but what's really cool is When you go to a site like test UFO you can see it actually changes if there's nothing no activity on screen So 60 to 120 Hertz that is actually pretty cool Now you've got stereo speakers here And if you want to hear more on the speakers go to our speaker test and you find out more But you're here for gaming capabilities and what's this device can do gaming wise So let's not waste any time and let's jump into our very first game We should be playing Call of Duty mobile and we're playing at the highest settings possible on this device as you can clearly see and Let's give you just a quick clip and they will talk about it So call of duty mobile performance wise did as you'd expect 60 frames per second and if you guys don't know we use game bench to do our Benchmarks for any of our Android games. It's a great tool uses the link down below. You can actually get it yourself But what I like about it is I can see that it does 60 frames per second at a 99 percent stability CPU usage is 11.82 percent But in terms of GPU we haven't information yet because it's still not registered for Game bench, but performance wise it's pretty good as you would expect here It's also felt really smooth while gaming and playing our call of duty mobile now when we move over to a game Like PUBG mobile, of course, you know, we have a couple of settings We usually play with here now the one thing you notice as it differs from Call of Duty mobile is called you The screen refresh rate was was dropped down to 60 Hertz That's because of course Call of Duty really pretty much runs at 60 Hertz on this device while when it came to PUBG mobile It stayed at 120 Hertz not sure if that's what it would eventually run But that's where the screen refresh rate stayed at now. We've played our first game at Ultra HD HD for PUBG mobile and we'll see what kind of performance we get from that Let's go So for PUBG mobile ultra HD HD performance wise we got 40 frames per second at a hundred percent stability Again, this matches every device that we've tested at high-end from the Xiaomi Mi 11 to the iPhone 12 Pro Max CPU usage was 10.81 percent and of course you can see memory usage is about 800 to about 930 megabytes. So that kind of performance is pretty good. Well, how about smooth extreme on PUBG mobile, let's check that out. So a smooth extreme again The performance is similar to everything else in in this class. We're talking about 60 frames per second standard also 99% FPS stability, which is what we would like to see the longer it stays at that and its peak mark the better It is CPU usage is a little bit more at 13.2 30% which is quite interesting compared to You know ultra HD HD and memory usage is also slightly up in its average range So that actually was pretty cool. Now moving over to fortnight fortnight It's a game that I could not use game bench because it doesn't allow us be debugging But with fortnight you can play at 90 frames per second not at epic resolutions But of course at medium resolutions at epic you can play 60 frames a second But I decided to check out 90 FPS now while playing fortnight and doing a terrible job in the fortnight gameplay Just like I did in PUBG mobile. So forget before that you will find out that the FPS doesn't necessarily reach 90 frames per second It does roughly around 60 to about 80 frames or so stayed in around 70 for a little bit. It all depends and differs So this is a game that of course it still has to be updated for this device and also the processor But that's what we got for fortnight in terms of gameplay capabilities moving over to a game that plays at 120 frames per second Although it did not last device. I'm talking about Vainglory and I know I am terrible at games like this mobile's But I have to say that Vainglory played well. You can see the FPS content also switched to 120 frames per second in terms of the FPS itself, but also when it came to the School refresh rate it stayed at 120 Hertz as well So that actually matched all the way through and you will get the full benefits of what this device can actually do Now we did check out a bunch of other Android games as well And you can see the full list of games there and some of the FPS capabilities But I wanted to just talk about of course Genshin Impact which is of course a game a lot of you have asked for and is graphically tasking So we maxed out at 60 frames for Genshin We maxed out all the settings and it ran really smooth on the Galaxy S21 Ultra Which is something we'd like to see and in terms of just looking at the in-depth look at the FPS capabilities we saw 60 FPS for Genshin Impact 100% FPS stability CPU usage said was actually 0.02% I don't think that is correct, but its memory usage is much more at 1500 and 77 up between that range to 1600 or so so Memory usage is much higher in this game but what's interesting is that this This technically beats out the iPhone 12 Pro Max which actually was one of the better games handling Genshin Impact where the iPhone 12 Pro Max did 59 frames per second and the FPS stability of 97% So the iPhone 12 Pro Max, yes, it's only one FPS smaller But technically the Galaxy S21 Ultra beat it so Android fanboys you can rejoice You've got your win right there. So that's actually pretty cool. But in terms of performance and capabilities, what about Geekbench? What does the benchmarks say? I don't really care about these, but some of you like it now Geekbench scores for single core is 1,100 for single core and our multi core is 3,238 Of course which beats every last-gen Android device not so much would say something like the Xiaomi which Had similar close numbers are slightly higher in certain aspects But that's just for you guys to know now some of you did ask me about Gameplay with emulators how well does it run? So I did try out a dreamcast emulator And I also tried out a GameCube emulator which was dolphin and we did red me emulators I wasn't able to install and set up the PlayStation emulator in time So I apologize for that. I'll try and I'll let you guys know the kind of performance I get from that But when playing dreamcast games It ran well. It ran really well was getting 60 frames per second in Marvel versus Capcom 2 on the dreamcast and that was great to see plus I was able to use my Controller my razor key she on there with this emulator is a great emulator pick up Are you have the link for you guys down below? But it ran well playing dreamcast games now moving over to gamecube games using the dolphin emulator I was able to play Super Mario Sunshine. There's been about 25 28 frames per second But it looked like it ran well in general it's playing on screen So for that was a little bit iffy, but emulators definitely run well on this I'm sure you guys gonna ask me for a ton of other games and I'll show you I'll try and do some shorts and things like that Showing you different games and emulators on the Galaxy S21 Ultra Now finally of course streaming services now we got to play of course Xbox Game Pass and Stadia Was able to play game on game pass quite well Using touch controls on there Which I believe is bloodstained that actually played really well and also Stadia ran really well using of course to raise a key She controller and gaming on there and and again with streaming games It's all about your connectivity Which is why having Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6e is very important on a device like the Galaxy 21 Ultra And you know allowing you to connect as fast as possible making sure that connection is great Plus of course 5G connectivity if you have any location makes a ton of sense now finally the main thing you care about of course is Temperatures how are temperatures while gaming now? I'll put it this way when I gained on and off over a period of time my maximum temperatures were around 103 when I gained Consistently and going through heavy intense games I actually pushed up to a hundred and ninety degrees which is probably the hottest I have seen for any Samsung device So that is just something to take note Especially if you're going to be doing a lot of heavy gaming on this device in terms of gaming capabilities the Galaxy S21 Ultra is a gaming beast it will play your Android games effectively streaming services not a problem It will also play your emulators quite well and the variable refresh rate does help actually Inducing in in battery life and battery consumption plus a 5000 mAh battery goes all the way Now in terms of heat You know that's something I will have to keep an eye on just using it a little bit more with this device Just because Samsung didn't really mention anything about improving their vapor chambers or any of this specific cooling on The the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but I will say you can definitely use a case on there. You'll be fine I use my Samsung leather case and I actually had no issues with that also, you know I like to use a speaking cases and you check out their cases as well They've got some really cool cases that give you nice thermal cooling and also some better group while you are gaming So hopefully that gives you guys an idea of how gaming is on the Galaxy S21 Ultra This is a gaming beast and has a great performance if you have any questions any comments Let me know otherwise guys don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment
