Unfortunately for users, it appears that many Exynos-powered devices can&#8217;t play the game, while even the newest devices with the chipset display so many graphical errors that the game is virtually unplayable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> Why Exynos versus Snapdragon is such a big deal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-s -jb\">\n<p>The Exynos is Samsung&#8217;s homegrown system-on-chip (SoC) that it uses to power its phones in some markets.  The Exynos is based on Arm designs, like most other mobile chips, but Samsung has complete control over its design and manufacture.  This is an appealing option, as opposed to licensing Qualcomm&#8217;s or Mediatek&#8217;s chips.  Samsung even powered some of its flagship S22 phones with the Exynos, much to Diablo fans&#8217; chagrin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-s -jb\">\n<p>Here is a list of Exynos-powered devices known to be incompatible with Diablo Immortal.  The list was provided in a Reddit thread by Blizzard Community Lead PezRadar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Galaxy A12, A13, A21s, A51 5G, and Galaxy A Quantum<\/li>\n<li>Galaxy S10 series<\/li>\n<li>Galaxy Note 10<\/li>\n<li>Galaxy F12, and F62<\/li>\n<li>Galaxy M12, M13, and M62<\/li>\n<li>Galaxy XCover 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, <em>SamMobile<\/em> is reporting that even the newest Exynos-powered S22 Plus has issues playing Diablo Immortal, with graphics issues and glitches that make the game unplayable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>See also:<\/strong> Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs Exynos 2200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-s -jb\">\n<p>According to PezRadar, the company may suspend downloads for the impacted devices until a fix can be issued.  The company is likely worried about the impact of negative reviews from the countless users running affected devices.  PezRadar says Blizzard is working on a fix \u201cas soon as possible,\u201d but there is little recourse for users in the meantime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-s -jb\">\n<p>There have already been rumors that Samsung could be working on a major overhaul of its SoC strategy, with a new processor aimed at taking on Apple&#8217;s M1 by 2025. Given the problems the company has had with the Exynos, this latest issue might just be the nail in the coffin for Samsung&#8217;s homegrown SoC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-s -jb\">\n<p>In the meantime, users looking for one of the company&#8217;s latest devices would do well to get their hands on one powered by Qualcomm&#8217;s chipset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"-Bi -j -k\">Comments<svg class=\"-ld\" viewbox=\"0 0 1780 1017.4\"><path d=\"M1742.9 37.2l-.3-.3c-49.6-49.4-129.8-49.2-179.2.3L890.5 710.4v.2L216.7 37.4C193 13.9 160.9.7 127.5.6 57.3.4.2 57.2 0 127.5c-.1 33.8 13.2 66.3 37.1 90.2l768 766.3c50.1 45.8 127.3 44.2 175.4-3.7l762.4-763c49.5-49.8 49.5-130.3 0-180.1z\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Triggs \/ Android Authority TL; DR Samsung&#8217;s Exynos-powered phones can&#8217;t run Diablo Immortal.
