wondering guy?, 14 Aug 2015lol in ma language cryo means super hot objects. So what ca... morewhere are you from?
I'm from greece and kruo means cold (ie. cryo here) so I dunno. I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean hot though. They wouldn't do the same mistake.

    alnherco, 12 Aug 2015We need bigger/better batteries not faster CPU's !!! I dont... moreDamn
    I actually want to launch spaceships from my phone in my back yard
    Also I want a virtual assistant like Jarvis from ironman
    So I'm all in for power
    But yes, i need good batteries too.....

        AnonD-192388, 13 Aug 2015these comments about speed and all its all crap ! no proces... moreUmmmmmmmm.... processor and data connection (wifi, 3G, 4G) are totally independent. If they were connected, you wouldn't be able to use your processor while on airplane mode... processor (clock) speed determines how fast the processor is. WiFi, 3G, 4G, LTE are determined my data transfer rates and nothing, NOTHING, to do with the processor speed. obviously the processor will process the data, but WiFi has no connection to how fast the processor is. Please know what you are talking about before talking utter tosh!

            these comments about speed and all its all crap ! no processesor will perform faster than an other one without a good wifi or 3g or 4g signal connection ! period ! the speed of processessing doesn not depend on the processessor ! without a good or excellent wifi or internet signal , sorry man , no matter how fast is your processor you sittin g duck ! at the same time time your phone will heat up and drain the battery very fast especially when using 3g or 4g internet ! better try to use a pocket wifi at least with poor signal your phone will not heat up and batterry will not be affected because the pocket wifi gadget will be the one to heat up and drain its own batterry ! i am not engineer but i experience it beleive it or not the problem is the SIGNAL reception of either wifi or data connection that makes your processessor performing as it suppose to be !

                This is almost six months after the Exynos was already released and it only beats the Exynos by a couple hundred points in single core. And that's only by being clocked up to .9GHz higher.
                And the S820 is not even announced. Might not even be released for another 6 months.

                Now I know this is more about the GPU. And that's where the battle will be. Qualcomm definitely seems to always have the leg up in GPU compared to Mali Graphics......in brute force that is. ........not so much in certain aspects and throttling though

                  hope that the heating will gone for the upcoming beast . the SD is too good when it comes for graphics and what so ever except for the overheating issues :D

                          Here'sToChange, 12 Aug 2015be cool shitdragon followers... apple A9 will beats every ... morebe cool to you too, fruit brand product isn't good in any point of view, dont take a 750x1334 vs 1080p, you can even clearly see that fruit+ also having lower benchmark vs 750x1334.
                          Tell you a truth, if you really wanna compare, take an equal devices and compare,
                          iphone6+(1080p) vs M9(1080p),
                          GFX 2.7 T-rex: 44.9 vs 49
                          GFX 3.0 Manhattan 18.3 vs 23
                          apple is not always the best...they know their high resolution cant really stand up, so they made 2 model devices instead 1, when showing performance, they take out iphone6, and tell you that CPU in iphone6+ is clock higher to gain better performance in better screen, but did they say GPU? truth is cpu more better in calculation but not GPU in screen.
                          Just my 2cents to be what is fair, im not HTC nor Snapdragon fanboys anyways. I don't like those to keep saying this good that good, every company throw money invest technology and wasting quite a lot effort, please be more polite or respect to any of the product.

                                if it has 4 cores I expect the new processor to be cooler, plus the name cryo comes from our language. It means cold.

                                    And brought along much better audio.
                                    And the 7420 easily demolishes them all

                                        Hmm...hopefully custom cores in the 820 are faster and more efficient. I hope the 820 is similar to the SD800 in its particular generation (unlike the 810)
