Wouldn't be surprised if it was an Exynos bug either. Samsung LSI haven't produced a decent flagship Exynos SOC for multiple generations now. Always behind Snapdragon on overall balance of performance (CPU/GPU/radios), heat and battery life.
I refuse to buy any phone with an Exynos SOC ever since I got screwed with a poorly tuned Exynos 9810 in my S9. Andrei Frumusanu did a great two part article on turning the 9810 when he used to write for Anandtech:

- fifteen1506 3y agoMeh, decisions decisions. I bought a Pixel 6a which uses Samsung technology for the Google SoC. I bought it anyway because I wanted to install GrapheneOS but since I assumed it was evolved-but-still-Exynos I did hesitate.
- AshamedCaptain 3y agoThere used to be a reason: Exynos variants had unlockable bootloader. Not sure how feasible unlocking is nowadays on the Qualcomm variants.
- scrlk 3y agoIIRC locked bootloaders on Qualcomm variants was found on US market phones, with non-US (e.g. Hong Kong) markets having a unlockable bootloader.
