AnonD-404798, 16 May 2016YOU AGAIN ! Are you stalking me here on gsmarena or somethi... moreRandom unsourced picture means nothing. Try again. In reality we know nothing about the xp other than how it has an inferior chipset, and it has many things that make it look like a midrange device.

Speculating about things we don't know about like camera and battery is pointless, and the fact that you cling to that sort of thing proves that even you think the xp isn't as good.

Its been proven to you using both benchmarks and speed tests that exynos is superior. Just because you didn't respond to my post and ignore anyone else who shared benchmarks, it doesn't magically invalidate the evidence lol.

    AnonD-404798, 16 May 2016first of all I consider even looking at some YT video made ... moreBenchmarks can be cheated, and they can be optimised, obviously. How do you think the htc10 got 150000 for antutu?

    Anyway, for those speed tests there isn't a single android phone that comes close, not HTC, not lg, not SD s7. The difference is clearly the chipset. Same with battery life, the exynos s7 did a lot better than everyone else. And what does it matter why its better? It doesn't change that the s7 will most likely be faster than the xp too, its not like the SD was 'optimised' for the xp after all.

    And you're the one who ignored benchmarks when they were shown to you. Even for the GPU, the one thing that the SD had, the exynos did better because it didn't throttle as much. You've shown no evidence that snapdragon is better in any way though.

      only fanboys deny benchmarks at this point !

        From what we actually know about the devices, the s7 has a better performing chip. No matter how much you deny it, it has been proven to you multiple times by multiple people by now. You even got a speed test comparison with the htc10 below just now, and I gave you graphs showing that even for the GPU, the one strong point of the snapdragon, the exynos does better because it doesn't throttle anywhere near as much. You've shown absolutely nothing to refute any of that, and ignore any evidence shown to you.

        Other than that, all we can see is that the x performance has many similarities with a mid-range. We don't know about how the camera will perform and your random unsourced pic by god knows who means nothing, we don't know how the battery will perform. All we know is it currently looks like a midrange with a flagship chipset that isn't as good as the exynos.

        PS. Sony also released the xperia x. An actual midrange phone that costs the same amount as the s7. How much will the x performance cost then?

          Oh snap!

          Qualcomm is made from a bunch deadbeat engineers. They think that by cheating into benchmarks so that make their terrible SoC seem better than it actually is would fool people. Joke is on them , everybody know the Exynos version is better.

          Even in stores they recommend the S7 (over the SD820 phones) because of "the superior processor". Even mobile store minimal pay workers know that Exynos is boss.

          Only fanboys believe fake benchmarks at this point.

            Anyway Exynos 8890 being better than Snapdragon 820 is only your dream but you can keep dreaming if you think so, any reasonable person can look at the benchmarks to see the truth .

            -FHD screen is exact reason why X Performance is better ,has less RAM that is true but still S7 is at disadvantage to Xperia X Performance when it comes to RAM memory but for the price 4gigs wouldn't hurt - on that part I agree.

            -If it turns out that the XP can't record 4K that would be a disappointment , but I think it can .

            -Camera is much better on X Perfromance and here is evidence for that with X Performance on the right and S7 on the left http://i.imgur.com/Zm7xBLx.png?1

            No sane person can't overlook better battery life,performance,camera and superior design of Xperia X Performance and so calmly say that S7 is better LOL keep dreaming sammy fanboy .

                Other than that we don't really know anything about the Sony x performance other than that its a relatively expensive flagship with a 1080p screen, has less ram, and can't even record in 4k. If you ignore the chipset, its closer to a midrange, which may or may not have a better than average camera for a mid-range.

                    S7 Edge (Exynos 8890) is the best phones in the world right now. S7 - Best processor ("Thermal spreader" Water cooling technology to avoid the phones overheating), Best design, Best display, Best camera (Dual Pixels camera - A first in the smartphone world), Best battery life, Powerful Game Launcher and new Vulkan API. microSD or dual SIM model, Fast wireless charging, Water-resistant (IP68 rating). Samsung Pay (NFC + MST), VR and more. S7 has the best in every single corner. And HTC 10 still falls short against the S7 and S7 Edge on everything.

                    Samsung Galaxy S7 more powerful than HTC 10, The Galaxy S7 destroys HTC 10 in speed test. check out

                                If only s7 and it's edge version had a 2nd wide angle camera like on G5, that would've made it the best 2016 phone until the release of note 6 and iphone 7
