    All I can offer you is a box of tissues so that you can wipe your tears after the brutal beating that Apple took in the smartphone and PC war, both of which Apple lost.

        Bruh, you were the one who made the assumption that all android chipsets crush a14.

        I was just showing you that's not the case.

        Then you go to "nobody cares" about a14.

            No one cares how powerful A14 is.
            Hint : it's as fast as A12X chip.
            But all that is useless as it is running subpar OS.

            IOS can't extract the full potential of the chipset.
            If it was running an advanced operating system like Android, I'd be interested as it can utilize all that power.

              But their argument is that they want to see their money's worth, you see they can't brag about having the latest and greatest if the SD855 is used.

              No matter, even if they used the 865 these critics wouldn't buy either way, this will be purchased by people that are in dire need to be more productive in a mobile OS, something that has some of the benefits of both a phone and a laptop. Really interesting, we'll see if such type of users exist in large enough numbers.

                The hypocrisy and bias about the specs of this device is absolutely hilarious. So the duo “slightly” over performs One of the most highly optimized phones with an 855 chipset by scoring 200 points higher in the multi threaded test, but is a huge disappointment from this years high end 865 chipset, when those same chipsets only can muster less than 200 points better than its score. So if the Duos score disappoints, how would you describe the s20 ultras 802/2696 or the Note 20 ultras 925/3220?

                  TOTALLY NOT another biased comment that we don't need in the comments.

                      This phone will either completely change the usability level of mobile operating systems or it will plain miserably flop but it's not just another regular smartphone, I really thank microsoft for taking the risks of doing something a little different for a change, it's been years of buying the same thing in different sizes and specs but the same thing after all.

                        Despite all that power, it can't give performance or functionality like Android as it is running subpar OS.

                            You are paying for premium software and functionality of Android.
                            Apple can only dream of such a feat.

                                    Chip debate aside, this device may be useful. It's a nuisance trying to answer an mail while referencing a spreadsheet on a phone. Some of us have jobs that require rapid response wherever we are. Companies that think this may facilitate productivity may be able to get volume discounts.
