- “A13 still offers better performance than a single core in the Snapdragon 865. But when you use all of the CPU performance available, then the Snapdragon 865 scores 3,450 for Geekbench 5 multi-core, compared to 3,480 of the iPhone 11.”
- “However, AnTuTu 8 gives a different result. The QRD scores around 545,000, whereas my result from an iPhone 11 Pro Max I have here is around 506,100. I have seen higher AnTuTu scores quoted online and the official AnTuTu rankings state that the iPhone 11 Pro Max should score 549,717, making the results much closer.​​”

    And what exactly is Tronald Dump’s plan for necessary raw materials that China has cornered? It’s like trying to drive away your downstairs neighbour by setting fire to their place

      Mr PubgMobile, 16 May 2020Pubg runs better on even iPhone 8 plus than any snapdragon ... moreErm... Try comparing to a gaming phone... Like we have... And running 90FPS HDR EXTREME on a 90HZ panel... And not 60fps on a 60hz screen... And let's see if you don't cook your cpu/gpu :)

        Vegetaholic, 16 May 2020Wow, very impressive piece of writing. Focusing on crappy m... morePubg runs better on even iPhone 8 plus than any snapdragon 865 device. I'm a competitive player so I know what i'm talking about. Every android..no matter how good starts lagging in a competitive pubg match after 3 months. iPhones dont have that problem...i bought oneplus 7t pro for competitive pubg last year....worst decision of my life...ive had an iphone 8+ now for 4months now..yet no trace of lag like the oneplus.

          865 officially seriously faster than A13... :)

          My 855+ is about equal on the antutu score with A13... However... A13 cannot translate that to real world performance.

          No way can it handle 90FPS with PUBG. My friend was showing me his iPhone 11 Pro max and just how 60FPS HDR EXTREME was too heavy on the A13... There's me 90hz at 90FPS with HDR EXTREME.... Cruising... And my phone could still effortlessly push further... Don't fall for the A13 hype... It's not as good as Apple want you to think... And Apple need to severely start catching up... 60hz screen with ghosting on Pubg is appalling... Interesting how Apple never mentioned about the refresh rate as ghosting is pretty bad. And the OS is about as smooth as a 1920's video... Not at all impressed with iOS. Had an update on the iPad... Too many useless updates with Apple... Always too many bugs. Wish they just got it right first time round and then send an update once or twice a year at max... iOS for ipad is a complete waste of time. Only one app at time... Can do more on my gaming phone than on iPad... Waste of screen space. Sorry. Totally puts me off Apple. 1,400 usd for a 60hz screen.... I mean what is that all about?

            Vegetaholic, 16 May 2020Wow, very impressive piece of writing. Focusing on crappy m... moreWhat at 60 hz...? And 60 FPS... I don't think so... Tencent... Quantum, lightning, Epic, I don't think so somehow... All the best games are on Android. And made for gaming handsets... Republic of Gamers... Lenovo Legion... Realme gaming phones... IQOO. Black shark 3pro/tencent edition... No... 865 and 855+ clearly slaughter the A13. I do know. I have my friends iPhone 11 Pro max... We all complain how crap for gaming it is... Honestly. Try it and compare... He as the owner was showing me how crap it is.

              MagicMonkeyBoy, 16 May 2020I can honestly say that as an experienced user of the RM3S.... moreWow, very impressive piece of writing. Focusing on crappy mobile game and a phone optimized to run it with some fan attached to it :D Apple has A13, fastest chipset on a world, well it does not have crazy optimizations to PUGB or other stuff, but overall App Store games are usually better optimized for iPhones as developers still mostly focusing on Apple eco system which provides more revenues when Play Store. So even few games runs better on some Android "gaming" phones majority of other games run much better on iPhones when Android, as developers puts more efforts on it and has less work to do to optimise for iPhone chipsets as where is not as many of them as on Android world :)

                Vegetaholic, 16 May 2020Runs circles by A13 :D who runs circles, you? As last time ... morehttps://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-865-beats-apple-a13-1066243/

                That was the last time looked... Try looking this time... My 855+ RM3S slaughters the A13 when in game space forced maximum performance mode... A13 chokes up when I played and compared with iPhone 11 Pro on Pubg.

                  Vegetaholic, 16 May 2020Runs circles by A13 :D who runs circles, you? As last time ... moreImpossible. Antutu scores are crystal clear.

                    MagicMonkeyBoy, 15 May 2020Wow... I am a diehard android gaming fan. But I am going to... moreRuns circles by A13 :D who runs circles, you? As last time I checked A13 is by far fastest smartphone chipset on a planet destroying your beloved 855 and 865, sorry to dissapoint you, but you have been fooled if you think otherwise :)

                        If the production moves to the US, Apple will still pay extra. Extra on the wages. The eorker will be paid 10 times more than in China or India, so they will loose money anyway. Losing money will affect us, the customers, becouse will have to pay more for a phone...

                          [deleted post]I can honestly say that as an experienced user of the RM3S. I have no issues with my OS whatsoever. In fact I just had an update a few days ago. Giving me April security update status. They have fixed a number of possible issues. Issues that didn't really affect me so much anyway. But nonetheless. The tweaks are welcome. Also another update is due for the 5G version very very soon they are saying. It's interesting to note that my friends who have iPhones and 11 series versions are always wowed and very impressed with the RM3S to the point where they are all looking at changing from apple to Android and specifically gaming phones... I used a xiaomi before switching to a gaming phone. Since using a gaming phone. My scores rocketed. I have a oneplus. I have an iPad that I never ever use. I have played pubg on my oneplus. And just has not got what a gaming phone can offer. When it comes to serious and heavy intensive gaming... Gaming phones ultimately have the edge. This is my own personal experience. But one thing I can tell you. Is that iPhone users are indeed very impressed with gaming phones and even with androids OS multi tasking systems... Apple are second class phones... Android are 1st class. Tables have indeed turned. Well done to all those with Android. I hope everyone can have whatever type of android phone they want. Whatever it is... And now gaming phones are booming across the market... This is really good to know as it makes life a lot more interesting. And makes me very very proud of Android. And to have such unique artistic handsets. With character. And insanely forced maximum performance that just is overkill... I really don't know how long my RM3S can last for with such severe forced maximum optimisation in game space 2.0.

                          Its like a oneplus but on nitro. - It's like a Racing car of the smartphone world. Heavily tuned. I can clearly see why some people would want to a gaming phone. And when I feel tame... Why people would want a gaming phone...

                          Anyway... Time for me to play PUBG at 90FPS on my 90HZ screen... Air/liquid cooled... Severely optimized. Forced maximum use of the gpu/cpu. Air triggers... 240hz touch lag... Instant internet connectivity. Zero zero lag... Anywhere... Not like iPhone 11 Pro max... Lag with everything on Pubg...

                          Hope you enjoy a good gaming session. And that you hopefully may win most of the time. Like me.

                            kiloh3rtz, 16 May 2020OOO there it is android love,apple hate...why you ppl hate ... moreHe's using a cheapo nubia RM3S. Build quality is cheap. That internal fan's a bad idea. I can just put a thin object and cause the fan to malfunction. Also littered with Chinese text even when device language is at English. I'm not angry, as I also use Androids for my life. Haha just joking.

                            I mean, he keeps comparing gaming phones vs. iPhones when an iPhone is not built for gaming. And keeps insulting iPhones just because the price is so high in India.

                            Mobile gaming development is quite slow in comparison to PC and console games. Only a handful of mobile games but that has lots of players, so it looks populated. It's not creative. I can get a decent PC setup for the price of his RM3S that can run COD Warzone at low to medium settings.
