This might just be the processor, though the fact that Samsung stated it would go 5nm does make this seem like an upper midrange

    Hopefully they will use ARM instructions this time because their in-house isn't good enough to catch up with Snapdragon.

        apple a13 vs sdm855+ vs kirin990 vs exynos990

          Anonymous, 24 Oct 2019Exynos - Kirin - MediaTek etc... They can't beat Snapdragon... moreThat´s the thing, we can't really compare A with Snapdragon since it´s running on different platforms. I´d also like to see, how would A chip perform on Android.

            FFS, this is not a flagship processor. It´s for upper midrange.

              Anonymous, 24 Oct 2019I wonder why Samsung doesn't start a Gaming series of phone... moreMaybe they are waiting for 2021 to do that, when their RDNA based GPUs, licensed from AMD, actually blows everything out of the water - just like the legend that was nVidia jumping into chiset market way back in the day, with Denver custom cores and a frigging 256 core Maxwell GPU!

              Oh those were the days for mobile dreamers.

                      Estimates for 9820 was 607gflops
                      1.4x improvement with 1 less core

                      So for 990 it would be 780 gflops

                      Where Qualcomm 855+ is 1100 gflops which is still much more powerful compute and the 865 will be even faster

                      Hopefully the ddr5 and custom cores can do something this time

                          Since OnePlus and even the Pixel offer 90hz display.
                          Samsung can plug in 120Hz display, top of the line specs, big battery, and accessory support.

                            Exynos 990 ticks my spec list... highly likely to buy S11+...

                            Eish...can't wait

                                It is better Samsung establishes worthiness of products by intensive in house testing and also field trials. Lest it may be a pitfall like s10 fold, s10 series fingerprint recognition problems in very quick succession for a single family of phone.

                                Samsung can very well factory fixed screen protectors like many brands do. After all its cost is trivial when compared to the prices Samsung charges.

                                In fact Samsung retained the same camera from S8 to S10 without upgrading sensors or lenses.

                                Not far back it had the battery problem in one of its model.

                                Being a premium brand, it should use Snapdragon for the whole globe instead of supplying only US with Snapdragon. Exynos is not matching the efficiency of Snapdragon, but still Samsung prices exynos phones with same name and same price of Snapdragon models.

                                Samsung may lose its goodwill if it is not carefully in design and quality, given the premium brand pricing of its products.

                                    The point is the 120Hz in such a 6inch screens size is totally useless

                                        Exynos - Kirin - MediaTek etc... They can't beat Snapdragon. Only Apple's processor can compete with Snapdragon. But if iPhone start to work with android I don't know how Apple's processor can handle it.
