    That's why FullHD screen resolution is better on phones. Just look at the XZ2
    All those who want QHD screens with no benefits at all... In your face!

      Please look at Xperia xz2 performance

        Also for content creation Snapdragon is better. Just watch speedtests comparison between Snapdragon S9 vs Exynos S9. Snapdragon version trumps Exynos version in 4K video editing/decoding etc

          Imperator Neubaticus, 07 Apr 2018Long story short. Exynos has a better cpu and sd has a bett... moreLol no. Go through AnandTech tests and analysis. Snapdragon 845 beats Exynos 9810 in battery efficiency as well. Not only AnandTech, everyone else has found the same, except GSMarena.

          Also S845 has actually faster performance CPU wise, just see any of the speedtests out there.

            Looks like GSMarena needs to improve their battery testing methods. Everyone around the internet including AnandTech have found that Exynos equipped S9/S9+ have considerably worse battery life than Snapdragon S9/S9+
            Looks like the newer automatic battery testing scripts aren't helping GSMarena.

            Also someone at GSMarena needs to go through the extensive test results of AnandTech. Exynos 9810 is an inferior processor to s845 in every single way.
            CPU performance (9810 can't hold it, goes through extreme throttling), GPU performance, battery life, speed, everything is worse on 9810. It's a fail of a processor.

            That's the reason why s845 equipped S9 is repeatedly whipping 9810 equipped S9 in speedtests

              Surprising.

                  Hmmmmm

                  Why do your findings contradict this AnandTech article:

                    Adreno GPU is more powerful, but the processor of Exynos is the first worth to be called a rival to Apple‘s chips since the A8 or even A6.

                      Good luck with that locked bootloader on the snapdragon version. I still don't get why Samsung lock the bootloader on the snapdragon version, there must be a reason behind it as the exynos versions bootloader can be unlocked real easy.

                        in terms of cpu -exynos perform better
                        and in terms of gpu -snapdragon performs better
                        for gaming sd845 and for content creating exynos 9810.

                          Imperator Neubaticus, 07 Apr 2018Long story short. Exynos has a better cpu and sd has a bett... moreYeah no doubt

                            People are complaining about the poor battery life of the Exynos variant, and the Snapdragon is worse?
                            Some tests have shown that the custom cores on the Exynos are responsible for the battery drain. What is the reason for the S845?

                            And both SOC have their advantages : for example the Exynos can shoot 4K 120fps and the S845 can shoot HDR videos. Because of that, the S9 can't shoot 4K at 120 fps and 4K HDR.

                              Snapdragon edition are also being sold in Latin America ;)
                              G9650 and G9600 not sure but they come dual sim.

                                Long story short. Exynos has a better cpu and sd has a better gpu. But for years now, it's been proven time and again that exynos trumps sd in power efficiency.
