              Weirdly something becomes important just if Samsung, apple or any chinese uses.

              Thing is, many use not because they think it is important to the users, but just because the other brand is doing. This is why ppl now have to pay fpr useless things like 512GB storage, 12/16GB ram, 2Mp macro cam ......

                    Better have an ipad with 8800mAh for games than doing on the phone that has half.
                    144fps while gaming will spend much more power than 60.

                    Ppl complain how expensive flagships have become, but will be demanding 480Hz screen in 2024.

                      Meaning they need to become mainstream before anything.

                        PartTimePhoner, 29 Jun 2020They may be, but as the high refresh rate displays get more... more120Hz screen have been around since 2016.
                        Still most games are limited to 60fps, no matter where you play.

                        Many phones do not keep up max framerate .
                        Samsung has this issues, not just s20 series.

                        Among "non gaming phones", OnePlus and Sony are the only flagships able to keep max frames for games. If the game is 60fps, they will be often between 58-60, while other will run between 48-54.

                          Man qualcomm is a disgrace

                          Just because qualcomm can't integrate 5G modem in the flagship soc they want to charge so much!!

                          And then these sick OEMs enable qualcomm by buying their Soc at these prices

                          Arm Mali gpu is competitive now based on what I see on the for the dimensity 1000+ iqoo Z1

                          Mediatek good attempt sick and tired of qualcomm greed

                                I hope this price hike will force Samsung to offer this Snapdragon in ALL countries as a premium option.

I remembered FPS being tied to the physics of the game just like the old GTA games with frame limiter options.

                                    They have to do something to future proof their games if ARM really is the future for every processors used on the world. I could be playing those Mobile games in a PC that's no longer powered by x86/x64 but ARM in a few more years.

                                      Not CPU issue.

                                      Also, unless the device has very strong cooliing system, phones in less than 20min already lose performance.

                                      Instead of buying a phone with 875, better getting one with 855/855+ and buy an ipad Air for games.

                                        A bit of correction is needed I believe.
                                        3 cortex A78 cores will be used, not A77.
