Snapdragon 888 and 16 GB of ram

From what I could gather so far, it seems as if the Exynos 2100 is yet another big disappointment. I don't understand how samsung can keep dumping this trash in europe and get away with it.

The 888 is literally a furnace (consumes as much as 7.5W on GPU and 5-6W on CPU before throttling) that will throttle to below 865 performance, and the exynos 2100 is a huge improvement. Don’t listen to the Qualcomm shills on the internet who are taking any weakness in the 2100 and stretching it into a total loss. Qualcomm is the one screwing up this year, not Samsung. Granted the Mali drivers are still worse for dolphin, but buying a phone exclusively for dolphin performance (at the expensive of everything else) is not advisable, especially when the performance of the 888 is so very questionable, having power requirements that are reminiscent of the 810 and completely untenable in passively cooled phones.

Hold yer horses!

Samsung could launch flagship and mid-range Exynos chips with AMD GPUs earlier than expected

"We will see Samsung release Samsung × AMD GPUs in the second or third quarter of 2021, which will be used in the next Exynos 2xxx and next Exynos 1xxx processors, Samsung may change the release time of the new processors."

Prime example of the osborne effect.
Why would anyone buy the Exynos 2100 now?

At this point just people that don’t want to wait. Puts these early 2021 phones in a bind as they all either have the furnace 888 or the 2100 which will be hugely outclassed by the AMD exynos. Reminds me of 2015 where it was pretty much cope to not wait. This is gonna be a disaster gear, and a prime example of why putting all your eggs in the basket of a single vendor is stupid.

I am curious about AMD GPUs in phones from technical view. Whether it will be just a bit better or way much better.

If they hurry with new SoC release, it might mean that today generation (888/2100) is not a best one.

We must take into account that not everyone who buys cellphones are like us: technology addicts. The vast majority of cellphone consumers don't even care what's inside: they just want the newest, with the best camera, for the best price.

Motorola Edge S was launched yesterday, and it's a cheap Snapdragon 870. But if you don't like Motorola (like me), Redmi has the K40 (S870) and the K40 Pro (S888):

Those will probably convert to Poco F3 and Poco F3 Pro outside of China. MIUI has its ups and downs, but the performance is good.

It seems as if the Xiaomi has more overheating issues than the samsung.
