    AnonD-497388, 28 Feb 2016Dude SD820 is better than the exynos, have you seen single... moreThe single core is like 5% worse, and mukticore is 20% better. So it managed to fit twice the number of cores with only 5% drop.

    Also, most apps are multi threaded, especially chrome. And with vulkan multithreading will become far more common.

    Also, most people cho criticise multicores don't ever acknowledge that multiple apps are open st once and that Samsung has the very useful multitasking feature.

    Lastly, none of this matters. The only demanding app your phone will be running is dolphin, the GameCube emulator. Whether or not you use it this is the only app there is a significant difference and where performance even matters. And mali GPU is needed for it to work because adreno GPU have crappy driver support. And while we're on the topic it is rumoured that the Mali GPU runs cooler and thus gives better performance in the long run.

      Anonymous, 27 Feb 2016Amazing the amount of whining on these boards. I can't get... moreyou don't understand the point probably. Its OK if network frequencies are correct in both Latin america and USA. But phones like samsung , which will not give sd820 option in Europe is discusting. If I will import from america, I will pay 21% taxes + shipping, and I will maybe save 30 euros... But I will have to forget about network... So what's the point of a phone if I will not be able to do calls.

So if the Galaxy s7 has a great camera, well, let's praise Sony for creating the camera... It's all about Sony anyway. Sony has the greatest cameras coz Sony creates the sensors for Samsung and Apple...

                        Why sony would sell its camera sensor to other?
                        And why Samsung not using their own sensor?

Exynos is samsung own, why would they sell that to others? They only sell Exynos to Meizu because they have the intention to acquire Meizu for lower end market.
