This is another attempt by Donald Trump to move the supply chain to the US.

Strangely it also ranks regular flagship above gaming phones. You're totally blind. Antutu has also said not to compare benchmarks of different platforms, did you read it when you use the app?

            Who is delusional here? :-)

              The SD 865 is by far a faster SoC and more powerful than the A13. Combine that with clean OS... And even optimisation for gaming... And watch the A13 crumble at 90FPS HDR EXTREME anti aliasing on... :-).

              And cook an egg on the back of the iPhone.

                Vegetaholic, 17 May 2020Lol, you are clearly a troll. Your article is rubbish, in G... moreOkay then... Try running PUBG at 90FPS at HDR Extreme anti aliasing...

                  Speed test G.

                  The 865 is clearly by far the better and more advanced SoC. Also with unreal engine 5... The AI is way above the A13.

                    This is the dumbest move by Trump so far. I think he is getting too cocky for his own good. Any ban on China getting US based chips will just make them work harder to produce better chips. Lets suppose they even banned Chinese manufacturers' licence for the core chips. That would be another loss of revenue for the US manufacturers. As a result US consumers would probably be paying twice the price of what a phone cost now and the companies lose the competitive edge against the Korean and Chinese phones. To offset this cost the US government would have to give huge tax breaks thus loss of revenue for the government. Plus the cost of relocating factories. It's utter madness.

Your article is rubbish, in Garry test A13 beats 865, it has slightly faster cpu and faster gpu performance, you celarly a fraud. So people dont beleive this dude. A13 fastest and 865 can't beat it. PUGB runs like a dream on iPhone, definitely not worse than on 865, dont spread false information.

                          MagicMonkeyBoy, 16 May 2020I can honestly say that as an experienced user of the RM3S.... moreBy the way checking your link to Android Authority you've provided it clearly says a REFERENCE DEVICE. The reference device does not come with its OS. So the actual performance score is lower in the final device. See you can't even read and understand an article carefully.

                          Geekbench still indicates that A13 is higher or the same as SD865. Only issue with iPhone is the lack of a cooling solution, but it's not supposed to be a gaming handset.

                          RM3S does not even come with a good camera setup, the OS is cheap despite your claim of not being so buggy.

                          I can enjoy a good gaming session in my Galaxy S10 with GameGuardian and Vmos installed. No need for those useless gaming smartphones. They're a bait to waste money if you can just install GG and hack the game. PUBG Mobile is the same ballpark as Free Fire Battlegrounds these days.

                            [deleted post]The international version of pubg can be made equal to its Chinese counterpart by uncapping the frame rates to allow 90FPS. Simply by changing 1 digit in the Hex String. Simple as that. Then we have Chinese similarities.

                              Vegetaholic, 16 May 2020Wow, very impressive piece of writing. Focusing on crappy m... moreApple has fastest chipset, but only bottlenecked by poor cooling solution and that's compared to some regular flagships.

                              I can say that the A13 is SD855+ levels of sustained performance, but that's already good. It's a 2019 chipset anyway.

                              I don't get why the guy says the iPhone can't run PUBG Mobile at HDR Extreme. He is making stuff up. He's a nubia salesperson. I'm not interested in the RM5G. Would rather pick up the Mi Note 10, thanks, salesman.

                                  ROG Phone can't even play at sustained 60 fps in PUBG Mobile at these settings, go check the Zentalk forum.

                                  Anandtech still indicates that A13 is still superior compared to SD865, but not more efficient. Notebookcheck has also said the same. Try to check their websites and review.

                                  Your argument is rubbish. Don't need that Crapbia RM3S with low-end build if I can get a gaming PC myself.

                                    That tax needs to be insane high for Apple to move in USA. They would lose less money paying the tax and stay in China/India and they rise the cost for there devices anyways, as they need to get 1000% of profit from each device they sell
