Guess what genius, the kirin960 is an octa while the SD 820 is only quad. Clap clap... You base on single core performance not multi core.

                    Kirin 955-960 are far better than QS 820-821. Now let the HATE roll. I'm prepared for it!

                          Herodroid, 28 Dec 2016their GPU is just shit. adreno 530 is the best gpu on android.The GPU is performing well. Not the best, but also not the worst. Be sure that the GPU on the Kirin 960 is better than ever, and actually compete's with the SD821's GPU. MediaTek doesn't even deserve a spot in this conversation, as their processors (and GPUs) simply suck.

                                    Stop thinking that Chinese products are bad. This is 2017, and the fact is that Chinese products nowadays are even better than the ''real deal'', aka Apple and Samsung.

                                      3) HiSilicon makes high quality processors. The Kirin 955 is better than the SD820, and the Kirin 960 is the 2nd best mobile processor out there, after the Apple A10 Fusion. (Yes, even more powerful than the SD821)

                                      MediaTek is a joke. Their best processors, which are still mediocre, are the X25, X27, and the upcoming X30 might be somewhat good. That's all.

                                      So before making such a useless comment, please open Google, type, search, read, and then come back and comment again, alright, pal?
