Many Galaxy phones with Exynos SoC can't run Diablo Immortal at launch

Diablo is one of the world's most popular video game intellectual properties. And although its journey began on PC, the IP has officially transitioned to mobile devices with the release of Diablo Immortal. Blizzard's new mobile game is now available for Android and iOS. But unfortunately, countless Samsung Galaxy smartphone customers can't join in the fun due to issues concerning Exynos chipsets.

Diablo Immortal has just launched on mobile devices, so the race to destroy hell's monsters and gain better loot is on! Unless you have one of the following Samsung smartphones powered by an Exynos SoC:

Newer Galaxy phones powered by Exynos can run Diablo Immortal

Update: It appears that newer Galaxy phones powered by Exynos — like the Galaxy S22+ — also have issues running Diablo Immortal properly and display visual glitches. See the screenshots below.

Users that have tried playing Diablo Immortal on affected Galaxy smartphones powered by Exynos chipsets have reported graphical artifacts and other glitches that render the game unplayable.

Thankfully, newer Samsung Galaxy devices don't seem to have any issues running Diablo Immortal, so if you want to give this new hack & slash game a try, you can find it on the Google Play Store.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
