And yes they did deceive people with it as the dudes hand was outstretched as if to take a selfie with it. Instead, his hand was resting next to the DSLR that took the shot.

      iPhone claimed they're the fastest but it's not that fast or even slightly lagged compared to few flagships when playing in hands. Don't trust benchmarks, our guts work better.

        Hilarious, most of the people still support Snapdragon. Huawei CPU speed can be cheating on benchmarks, Apple CPU can only faster a little on benchmarks, Snapdragon in between them still more popularity.

            Anonymous, 24 Sep 2018explain why the Snapdragon 625 beats the Kirin 659 ? First and foremost we're discussing the kirin 980 not the mid range stuff.
            Secondly SD625 is 14Nm chip Kirin 659 is 16nm so different architecture

              James Whister, 24 Sep 2018Kirin 980 faster than apple's a12 bionic!? Yeah, i believe... moreYou must need to study first how benchmarks really works not just be bluttering about false allegation. Your source is not credible. You must be an apple fanboy, or a Samsung knight.

                It's going to be interesting nevertheless. Early 2019 the exynos 9820 will pop in too. That one also being based on the 7Nm finfet architecture. The mongoose custom cores have so far been the closest to the A11bionic's performance. Sure now the A12 is here and the 980 will be here soon.

Well why the hell didn't they use the phone for that?? And yes it was portrayed as the phones pictures because the dudes hand was outstretched as if to take a selfie, but resting next to the DSLR. It was clear deception.

                              James Whister, 24 Sep 2018Kirin 980 faster than apple's a12 bionic!? Yeah, i believe... moreThose shtty benchmarks craps from store?? dat's for kids ! they have completely different test machines for it!

                                Huawei loves to brag about anything.

                                If the kirin 980 was actually faster, they would had already show the numbers. No matter if its on a power point presentation like their event.

                                  Yes it will be faster than A12 but Apple will launch faster than it next year haha

                                    lolz

                                      I heard they cheating about benchmarks but in other sides their smartphone can comparable with others high end phones performs. For example Honor 10 VS Galaxy S9.

                                        you people are so... Here you are all ragging about how Huawei suck and how there is "no way" they can bet Apple, or how Huawei is a piece of shit that just lies in their benchmarks and whatever... All while talking about processes that are beyond most people's comprehension and most companies capabilities like it is to develop one of the smallest chipsets in the world. It's like we are talking about Candy and you're arguing about who makes the best Candy, these are some of the most advanced pieces of technology in the world, there are no losers here for gods sake. DO you even realize how big Huawei is and how they got their hands in most of the world's network technology in some way?
