    Kirin 980 faster than apple's a12 bionic!?
    Yeah, i believe it. Anything's possible in manipulated benchmark tests. -.-

        It will certainly be a big step up from the 970

                  i dont want to get into a cpu arguement. but my experience tells me.

                  Apple cpu's are underclocked so therefore run cool hence no lag.
                  Snapdragon tend to be overclocked hence heat issues thermal lockout.
                  Kirin runs sweet as a nut. My P20 pro plays Real Racing 3 for hours no heat issues. Bit of battery drain.

                    Huawei is obsessed with Apple. Samsung already played this game. Move on.

                    Android rivals are other android manufacturers. Apple runs alone.

                      Also Huawei needs to hop off Apple's nuts.

                          They also claimed Kirin 970 will be faster than Apple A11. And we all know how that worked out.

                            Huawwei have the best android processors hands down and are the most capable to take on Appple

                              For Android users, we need Huawei to be correct because we need another great SoC maker to exist.

                              Qualcomm became fat cats by 2014 after the 801 and 805. The 810 ruined so many Android flagships released in 2015. I'm tired of watching Apple's A-series dusting a SD800-series year after year.

                              Another SoC maker needs to shine. Google made a custom chip for their Pixel cameras. I wish they could make them for their own entire phone line. Mirroring everything Apple does will put them over the top.

                              Try to control everything. Control your own software, hardware, and custom SoC. They have their own stores. This is where Apple excels and why others fail. This is why they're worth a TRILLION dollars.

                              The three best OEMs are - Google, Samsung, and Apple in whatever order you please. Huawei is 4th to me. Forget LG. I no longer trust them or HTC. Forget Motorola, Nokia, BlackBerry, and even Sony. Xiaomi is for peasants. MIUI eats a ton of RAM.

                              Out of the top three, I root for Google being that I'm #TeamPixel. Google needs more control for Android to remain smooth. If not, back to jank.

                                  All i see below are typical Huawei haters who write hate comments without any basis on facts or reality. I suggest you calm your nerves and wait until the device becomes official and then we can see some scores and it's raw performance. Feel free to judge it then!
