Emulators don't have to be demanding. I ran console emulators already on my frist android phone (Motorola Milestone) and modern heavy games at max settings demand much more.
Running VPN itself is not really demanding on the battery, but sadly many VPNs (like tunnelbear) are power hungry. Which do you use? And have you considered a phone with better battery life?

It is about efficiency (low power consumption) on great performance. Snapdragon 820 is a good chip, but way to much energy is wasted through it's cores. Also, CPU is very important for gaming, is not all about graphics. Not that i will ever game on a phone....

I agree with your last part as well...most of us don't do anywhere near as much on our mobiles as you but i still like to have a decent mobile anyway :).
Competition leads to improvement and choice.

Why so much jealousy against Kirin 980 here? It shows how much Huawei has progressed. For now, we are still waiting for the first phone to use the 8150 or P80 chip.

Interesting. It's leagues ahead of the overhyped kirin 980. I am pleased.

Peter-B, 20 Nov 2018That 300MHz downclock hardly makes up for the 2x difference... moreNo, the difference seems to be if its using the API to access the NPU or fallback to CPU.

Accurate measurement of what an NPU can do is a mess right now. And a pain in the ass that you cant use it if the OEM doesnt want to.

I run at 100% brightness, all toggles on wifi, bt, location everything. I use my phone like it's a pc. Ironically the only thing I don't use is social media since it's a waste of time. That's just a few examples of what I do on my phone, I can guarantee 95% of phone users don't do 1/4 of what I do to my phone.

i just cant understand what the point of these often edited benchmarks are for, they dont give any real world usage reports, just artificial scores based on optimal settings in a controlled environment, phones with lower scores can easily out perform more powerful devices in daily tasks so these numbers are just for n e r d s with no real life, I have the huawei mate 20 pro and like most other premium devices, you cant really get faster then instant

What is it that you do that requires you to charge your phone 3 times a day?
Your answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Useless benchmark scores and this gimmick trend.
