Lol, 30 May 2017You can use powerbankA powerbank doesn't give you instant 100%, a powerbank is an extra thing to charge (and often forget to). The power bank actually increases the wear and tear of the internal as it increases its cycles. With a powerbank you have an ugly cable tangling from your phone while charging it... It's a horrible solution made for the dark ages we currently live in.

Physics are a given, you cannot get much faster charging than we already do, you can't get much greater energy capacity within a battery than we already do. There is a reason why those evolve so slowly.

The solution is replaceable power of some kind. Replaceable batteries fit the bill for quite a while, but I suspect the future is closer to what Motorola does. A tiny internal battery and replaceable shells (batteries in fact) that both protect the phone but also act as the phone's battery.

That way when you replace your battery (with another "shell") you get zero downtime (and get the old one to charge instantly, thus never forgetting as they're part of the same "motion"). The first to do the above well, improve on Motorola's design would be a millionaire, billionaire even as it will solve the autonomy issue of the phones once and for all. The plan is virtually bulletproof. Phone would be ultra slim (as it will barely have an internal battery), and you could choose as big or small battery as you'd like...

        AnonD-39937, 29 May 2017Custom cores ? What are you talking about? Kryo 260/280 and... moreDo you have a reliable source that M2 is A73 based? As far I am aware, it is not a Built on Cortex licensed product, hence it is not based on ARM cores. If they're using ARM designs without doing the BoC license, it is just a lawsuit waiting to happen. You know how much Samsung loves to be embargoed.

          AnonD-39937, 29 May 2017Haha, actually, I don't like Chinese phone companies. I say... moreIn my opinion A72 is a little better than A73. But less efficient...
          I know geekbench says the opposite, but that's not the only benchmark that says opposite than reality.
          Decoding performances seems to be better on A72 for exemple...

          A72 pipeline is 3 instructions wide (3 instructions per clock frequencie), A73 is only 2. It leads to less heating and less consumption...
          Silicone area is smaller too, si A73 is cheaper than A72
          Arm does a very good job, A73 is really close to A72 despite smaller pipeline
          With A75, Arm takes the A73 improvements and restore 3 instructions per clock...A75 is OK due to 10nm

          I think Kryo 280 is a kind of A73...
          But Kryo 260 isn't a A72...
          I think it's a kind of A73 too, 2 instructions wide too... But maybe with shorter pipeline.

          Huawei acheive a good Kirin 950...it is often faster than s820 and sustains performances far better.

          The great thing with this new A75/A55 cores isn't the cores themselves, it's their management : DynamIQ...
          API like Vulkan will need soc that were able to sustain GPU and CPU charge at the same time...
          We will see the limits of crappy bench like Antutu which tests CPU and GPU separately...thermal enveloppe will be very important so that 2+6 would behave better than 4+4

          Apple has a great advantage with their Giant cores, the best Arm cores since A7...but they should developpe core management. Now they were able use 2 or 2, not even 2+2

The point of replaceable batteries is to get instant 100% charge (huge for frequent fliers like me and generally for people that commute and don't want to mess with mobile chargers)

Kryo 260/280 and Mangoose M2 are nothing more than A73 cores(Kryo 260 is A72) with small changes just to name it different (same performance per clock, similar power consumption). The whole market is already based on stock ARM cores. (not talking of Apple , which is a market itself)

                  Anonymous, 29 May 2017Because android phones are in general fatter and bigger so ... moreThat's really unfair...615 is pure crap...;-) I think you know that, and choose it with caution! ;-)
                  Qualcomm was unable to use properly nor 64bits, nor octacore...410, 615, 810, 808 were bad too!
                  Mt6752 was nearly 40% faster than 615 in real use...615 can't even be as fast as quad core 6732!
                  But that's Qualcomm, they sell even when they're bad.
                  They improve a lot, 625 behaves quite good now, nearly as well as 820...(I talk about real use, not benchmarks)

                  Helio P20 too
                  https://youtu.be/VvyCQmNInzk

                  Even P10 with old 28nm process behaves well
                  https://youtu.be/HNXHm6f4Tmc

                  OK iPhone 7 is faster, but not that much, remember too, that's only midrange that costs 200 bucks...from unknow Companies.
                  Real difference is only on loading games

                  Octacore is a good way to do cheap but efficient soc.

                  Don't forget too, that Apple use a kind of cluster migration on A10...that's the worst big.LITTLE implementation
                  That's why, A10 is sometime slower than A9

                  With newest DynamIQ cores management, I think de will get very good 2big+6LITTLE

                      Anonymous, 29 May 2017And Android has more battery life with 8 Core lelBecause android phones are in general fatter and bigger so they have more space for a bigger battery, and those 8 cores are tiny so they save energy but take a much longer time to load so the only thing they do in conclusion is to waste your time while you get the same work done in a longer time at same battery endurance

                      Lel

                      And now take your low end SD615 8core phone and go crying in the corner

                                  With this improvements, custom cores will need significant improvement to compete with ARM standards. Or else, next gen SoC is a matter of configuring big and LITTLE cores within and between clusters (over 3000 possible configurations if I'm not mistaken?).

                                      Because A73 isn't compatible with new DynamIQ...but only old big.LITTLE. the main avantage between A55 and A53 is DynamIQ...it will be bad to kill it with incompatible A73!

                                      So that, in my opinion instead of building 4big A73+ 4LITTLE A55, 2big A75+6 LITTLE A55 with DynamIQ will be faster and cheaper

                                      Classic big.LITTLE will be dead...you will find more and more "assymetric" clusters.
                                      Mediatek already start to make their own for a year with Corepilot...
                                      Corepilot was a more flexible core arrangement with a coherent cache.
                                      Corepilot will die too, due to DynamIQ

                                      Big.LITTLE
