Arif238, 05 Dec 2018Where do you live exactly? It would be interesting to know ... moreIsrael. and when converting prices it's around 1400$/1510$ for basics. but still prices are pretty much the same thorought history.
when the first iPhone came to israel. it costed 500$, here in israel. it was 3750ILS. 10 years later the iPhone 8 costed 800$, how much it costs in israel? you guessed it. 3750 ILS.
the iPhone X's 1000$ equivalent to 4850. and same with the XS at 4850.and even next gens iPhones at that price.
the galaxy note 9 same case. but you can find it here for as low as about 2800 ILS (that's about 600$ equivalence)
AND PLEASE. don't rise up THAT SUBJECT. I have nothing to do about the israeli/arab case. I'm a typical techy girl.

    Octav, 05 Dec 2018SKR... it shows a shit, i have no idea about what are talki... moreyeah you were right ps4 is more powerfull than pc with GeForce RTX 2080 Ti lel 10 bit 8k HDR 30 fps / 4k 150fps >4k 60fps lelel kido

      AI sucker, 05 Dec 2018"Up to 3x AI performance"!! Now I can find a cat between ... moreJust like batteries on smartphones

      "Wow, my phone can finally last 30 minutes more! Such amazement and progress in technology! This is the future!"

      If you could criticize faster AI for better functionality of the smartphone, then you should do the same for every other annual improvements in technology, as we haven't seen anything that truly revolutionary.
      Last time we've had a massive leap was in 2007 with the introduction of the first iPhone, and it was truly one of a kind during its time.

        Of course the imaging and efficiency has to be improved!

          Dolanescu, 05 Dec 2018only slightly ahead? on Antutu(overall test) I can see sd84... moreAntutu is a joke though. Let's stick with Geekbench.

          Also, the Kirin was meant to beat the SD845, which it does. It wasn't built to compete with SD855, the competitor to that will be Kirin 990.

            What ere the actual reasons ?? Does anyone know ??
            How harmful is 5g for tiny creatures ??

              SKR..., 05 Dec 2018Exynos 9820 is definitely more powerful, it has a capabilit... moreCPU processing power doesn't matter, camera imaging subsystem and GPU hardware encoding system are

                Whackcar, 05 Dec 2018What does Kirin has to do with my comment? Also, based o... moreonly slightly ahead? on Antutu(overall test) I can see sd845 at 300k points... same as kirin 980(the first 7nm and most performant... what a joke) :))

                  SKR..., 05 Dec 2018Exynos 9820 is definitely more powerful, it has a capabilit... more8k isn't impractical. People said the same about 4k when it first launched on phones in 2013-14, but it became a norm in a few years. The same will apply to 8k.

                  I for one look forward to see the first phone with 8k video recording capability.

                    Dolanescu, 05 Dec 2018RIP Kirin 980... one month to be equal with SD is enough :DWhat does Kirin has to do with my comment?

                    Also, based on the recent benchmarks, the Snapdragon is only slightly ahead of Kirin, which is rather disappointing.

                        In RAW processing yes, apple is ahead. But as a whole SoC, Qualcomm has advantages on its own tho

                          So another SOC full of crap I don't need, don't want and won't use, sitting there doing nothing but suck more power.. What's more efficient, use decent cameras/lens to get decent picture data or rubbish cam/lens and loads of live/post processing ?

                              @GSMArena: the expression is 'Lo and behold', not 'Low and behold'.

                                Arif238, 05 Dec 2018Where do you live exactly? It would be interesting to know ... moreIn UK the cheapest iPhone XS is £999 which is basically $1273... I really would like to know too where in the world does the prices stopped rising!

                                  Kiyasuriin, 05 Dec 2018It's interesting that where I live I don't see any price hi... moreWhere do you live exactly? It would be interesting to know that there is a place left around the globe where where iphone Xs doesn't cost 1000 usd or pixel 3 doesn't cost 900 usd and those are the starting prices btw.

                                    Exynos 9820 is definitely more powerful, it has a capability of recording and encoding 8K video at 30fps and 4K at 150fps compared to this SD 855 which is just 4K at 60fps. Although 8K is impractical but anyway it shows the raw power of the CPU!
