Compared to an iphone it's just as capable but more innovative due to the infinity display which has practical benefit in giving more screen space with less real world size increase.
You end up with a phone that is still generally stylish and unique due to the edge screen curvings that Samsung does and no one else does, matches iphones and others on general specs and features anyway but then has a more modern screen design. Overall I can't imagine why it isn't the best phone and short of the issue you mention it still came out better than the competition (excepting really personal needs like if someone needs the absolute best camera or whatnot but that's more personal choice rather than proper best all rounder). Iphone 8 is simply playing catch up and doing things like wireless charging that Samsung already had but still nothing worth escalating it above Samsung.

And no, the more powerful the CPU is, the faster it hits the throttling threshold and more extremely than slower CPU. Smaller lithography might help a bit (10nm vs 14nm), but not indefinitely.

wqcr, 08 Oct 2017All those high end SoC will throttle when pressed for power... moreThe more powerful mobile SoC's you have the longer it can last before it reaches its limit. So midrange and low tier SoC's will give in much earlier or won't even be able to perform those tasks.
The spacious PCB you refer to is called a desktop or laptop and they have a completely different and more powerful processors.

Regardless of whether it's 8895, S835 or A11.
Stick it on spacious PCB, give it a modestly sized heatsink and we're in business.

They do realize that S8 was the lowest effort flagship in the history of Samsung right?
It is literally the first flagship to take a step back in performance (same every day performance, worse battery than its predecessor) and basically only update its looks...
Me thinks this kind of behavior should be punished instead of being rewarded...

I thought Xperia XZ Premium was the best phone of the year. I bet you can fit Monaco in XZP's bezels.

Well agree, one of the best screen and design, superb camera, good battery life, probably best android chipset, superb software support and features, Samsung provides quality

AnonD-705970, 06 Oct 2017Xzp destroy note 8 half gas. https://youtu.be/bbZHuB05_K0 No one cares about these stupid speed tests. XZP is 0.1 second faster because it has less pixels to push. In fact, note 8 has done a better job because it has to push 2x pixels(4.2mil pixels vs 2 mil pixels) than XZP. Samsung's optimizations matters here. In real life, you can't detect that 0.1 second difference and both phones will be fast. And that increased resolution is essential for VR. Support for VR=future proof whereas XZP don't support. I don't know why it's name has the word 'premium' although there is no premium features. To ask premium price?

[deleted post]Then I suggest you perform your own testing instead, then upload it on the internet and we'll comment nothing but saying it's fake. :)

At the same time, it will take Samsung and Qualcomm a 7nm SoC to match up or slightly beat the 10nm A11 Bionic SoC of Apple.
There's nothing wrong with admitting that Apple's SoCs are still the best in the industry of mobile smartphones.
Only Huawei's Kirin SoCs can stand a chance against them.
Rumors say that QCSD845's Single Core performance will be similar to the ones of the 2015 A9 SoC.
