You don't fight the monopoly by punishing theguy who reached the summit. You fight the monopoly by not burdening the small man to compete with the big guys.

But if you want to have a good VR experience, choose one with at least a QHD resolution, example: Galaxy s7, s7 edge,LG G5, pixel XL and etc.

I for one would never buy a phone with a MediaTek processor or a... Huawei bleah!
I respect myself too much to buy a chinese brand phone.

so i guess if nobody else wants to say it... omg $854 million is a heck of a lot of money!
and it even says that it's getting sued in other countries as well so that's a lot of $ going to the drain... i'm curious how much will it afect the company though (seems like a pretty profitable one)

People say 820 throttles and drops to 30-40 FPS while Kirin in reality can't even deliver 30 properly this from a guy using p9. It's performance is in neighbourhood of sd652 not 821 let alone the processor used by Samsung in s7. The main reason their 'flagship' has 1080p resolution

AnonD-625786, 28 Dec 2016Still doesn't change the fact that it's better. You mad?Well..seen just from a processor standpoint, a Mediatek X27 is the fastest processor. It scores best in synthetic benchmarks ( maybe due to the Decacore ). As everyone knows, the GPU of the HiSilicon and Mediatek SoCs are not usable in demanding games. The Kirin 955 still had a Mali MP4 ( 4 core ) which is mid-low level. Seen as a whole package, the best processor is the Apple A10 fusion is the best SoC but in the android world, the SD821 is still the best.
