lacp, 25 Nov 2015No, the Snapdragon 620 is better. Remember that has a quad ... moreOn the CPU front, yes SD 620 is better than SD 805. But its GPU is much weaker compared to SD 805. SD 805 GPU is about 40% faster than GPU in SD 620. So game performance will be better in phones with SD 805.

There is another aspect to look at - heat management and throttling. There are no such issues with SD 805. SD 620 - we need to wait for devices to arrive, and reviewers to complete their review. Only then we will know. Right now, it is an unknown in terms of how it would perform.

      I hope Samsung won't go cheap this time and put gyroscope in this one.

        lacp, 25 Nov 2015No, the Snapdragon 620 is better. Remember that has a quad ... moreIf this is the case, I'd like to see the power of the 820. Those kryo cores must be beastly. The new Adreno for the 620 will likely have performance similar to the 330. But the overall package (ISP, DSP, RAM speed, monster GPU, fab process, features like built-in security, Zeroth, etc.) as well as being more power efficient than the 620, will make it king...either way, then the A9 will be an awesome buy!

            the tech nerd, 25 Nov 2015Is snapdragon 620 performance on par with snapdragon 805?No, the Snapdragon 620 is better. Remember that has a quad Cortex A72 beyond a quad Cortex A53. The performance is better and if i'm not mistaken in single core in Geekbench the last result was 1446 and in multi core, around 4200. Is better than Snapdragon 810.

              Is snapdragon 620 performance on par with snapdragon 805?

                Does it even matter. Every Samsung looks the same.

                                    Previous version; A8 didn't have NFC...
                                    Seems this one has.
                                    I hope the battery life would be at least equal to A8
