Anonymous, 30 Aug 2019NO, Im implying why comparing the device with new flagship ... moreWhat old flagship? iPhone XS Max is Apple's current flagship, until 10 Sep at least.

    AnonF-85937, 30 Aug 2019It only took getting 3x the RAM to finally beat the iPhone ... moreYou are totally missing the point. It is not about comparing 12 GB to 4 GB RAM.

    The problem is that Apple refuses to provide more RAM like Samsung does. Apple's software is optimised to work with their hardware, and that gives an excuse for them to continue providing low RAM in their iPhones for higher profits. And that is disgusting.

      Suddenly the speed tests stop mattering. Only geekbench single core scores matter now. That is only metric to judge a smartphone performance. It doesn't matter if it takes half an hour to open a powerpoint presentation, but muh geekbench aaaaahhhh. Watch how they start mattering in 2 weeks or so

                  as a new samsung note 10 user, I couldnt care less about pointless benchmarks, why is this sad testing method even still a thing, most flagships open instantly and hold a lot of apps in the background, of course its good to beat apple, but the 2 ecosystems are totally different, Android is a totally more productive yet open source platform, IOS is streamlined for 3 devices vs over 26000 devices from 1500 vendors

                        And the OnePlus 7 Pro is even faster than the Note 10+ when opening apps. Thanks to Oxygen OS. That phone is crazy stupid fast!

                          I think I'd side with apple on this one.
                          Zenfone 4 beat Samsung S8 based on the same principle, 6 gigs vs 4. But, although the zenfone wasn't a bad phone, it still would lose in sheer performance on the long run.

                          Comparing android to iOS is like comparing cheese to lemon juice, they both work differently. So such test is quite unfair and would mislead users.

                          I have used iPhones for a short while (the old and sturdy 4s), and I can't see myself using them ever again unless apple changes their policies about pretty much everything. But still, an unfair comparison feels like dirty play to me.

                          Maybe next time they'd compare the SD with the Exynos versions of the note10,like they did with the S10, that's a more fair and accurate test.

                              And so what, both phones can manage daily task, that was most people prefer and need.

                                [deleted post]I agree. Your average user wants apps to open faster. Not for it to render a picture process 3 seconds faster than the other phone.

They are two completely different animals. iOS manages memory completely different than Android to begin with, this is old info and you should research it. The iPhone has to pretty much live up to every Android flagship out there and what it can do or has done that apple fans are complaining about that their iphone can't do yet. Every year is the same battle. Apple folks have like 1 or 2 choices and apple has to try to meet every need in one phone. Android you can either buy a super fast super huge phone with decent camera or a standard phone with superb camera, or a device with a quad dac, or one with no notch, or one with xyz....
