HuaW3I Suxs, 17 Sep 2020Lol, i can hear you crying in your huge crappy iphone notch... moreForget fast charging, they are completely removing the charger out of the box.
I switched to OP8 Pro from iPhone 11 pro Max. Never looking back again.

Got it for half the price of the iPhone. Infact, I Only had to pay roughly 10% of the amount as resell value for iPhone was good. It's just ahead in every department. Felt like a proper upgrade which didn't break the bank.

    Anonymous, 17 Sep 2020Them being 2 generations ahead is only on paper or in Singl... moreI just checked out that video.
    People who have never used anything beyond iOS will be thrilled to use iOS 14.
    Anybody who has used Android and iOS both will be like "Meh" in response to iOS 14.

    I agree, that A14 chip will be handicapped as usual by iOS.
    It's like putting a fast engine inside a car without a top gear to extract the full performance out of that engine.

      Anonymous, 16 Sep 2020I know you are a android hater who hates androids and only ... moreYou people talking about hate is laughable to no end, it's you that hate apple products and miss no chance to appear in every apple thread to trash anything they do and insult their users, this guy is just dead on right with his comment, android haters are just pathetic and invariably predictable but above all they are ALWAYS wrong, all their bashing just translates in immediate further success for apple, latest example is the SE 2020, a resounding success despite all the crying and all the ramblings. To you people you should just retire and leave apple users alone, if you really wish bad to apple, just leave the company and their users alone, get smart for once in your lives, you are just advertising for them.

        YoshiAkash, 16 Sep 2020lol. I can hear some android fans crying over something/nothing. Lol, i can hear you crying in your huge crappy iphone notch, because your beloved Apple Iphone 12 Pro Ultra Max whatever, doesn't have the goodies of the today's Androids, like fast charging, high refresh rate, or USB-C, and keep paying +$1,000 USD... And, add the price of the charger not included for "enviromental causes".🤣🤣🤣

          It's a bad sign anytime a manufacturer compares their new product to a product they released 2 years ago rather than the previous year's product.

            I can't post links here but make sure to check out Juan bagnell review of iOS 14 and another iPhone video around the same time.
            He beautifully explains how all that on paper performance is useless.

              Mediatek sux, 16 Sep 2020I said i dont know about antutu, and we were talking about ... more"The problem with benchmark cheating is that the phone wont perform as well as you see by the benchmark numbers in real use. To get that performance in every app you would have to sacrifice battery life and also will experience thermal throtting that wouldnt occur during 5 minute benchmark run. Also, not all oems have user selectable peformance modes. Again, what does the batterygate have to do with this?"

              >> None of the apps in App store or play store push the phone as much as Antutu benchmarks in real life. So your claim of that performance not being accessible is false.
              Performance mode is available on All Android skins and works flawlessly.

                Anonymous, 16 Sep 2020„ yet don't have a single article on Apple cheating cu... more"batterygate“ wasn‘t cheating but instead just smart power management for broken batteries, because phones would otherwise shut down and be left with a flat battery"

                Way to rationalize by delusional Apple users.
                They are paying 500 million dollar fine for your so called "smart power management".
                Anandtech had zero news or article on this cheating of customers.
                I wonder why?

                            It's a easy guess....this time Snapdragon 875 will match the apple a14 in cpu performance but not in GPU anyway.... clearly apple favoured power efficiency over performance since it has to match the smaller iphone 12 battery which is just 2200mah...also it will have less space for thermal management.... Thats the real reason I think....main culprits for less improvement in performance are the smaller batteries...

                                  Nick Tagataka, 16 Sep 2020A-series chip has never lost a lead in GPU performance over... moreI guess we have newlywids here , where were you on A11...A10...A9 days .
                                  I admet that A12,A13 take the lead on GPU performance but still you should think why .
                                  Firstly qualcomm never had three Gen of the same GPU arch on 600 series.
                                  so from adreno 620 to 640 there aren't much changes compare to A11 to A12 or A13(since both A12-A13 sport new GPU arch)
                                  So if SD875 won't change the GPU arch again , then A14 will keep the lead.

                                        Anonymous, 16 Sep 2020Antutu takes into account a lot more than just CPU. This i... moreI said i dont know about antutu, and we were talking about the gpu scores specifically. I gave you the basemark and gfxbench scores where apple scores higher. And for 3dmark anandtech noted how the sd devices got unusually hotter, not all android phones in general. It does make sense when in the other two benchmarks they score a lot lower. Now you can always check other sources for the same benchmarks if you really think my source is biased.

                                        The problem with benchmark cheating is that the phone wont perform as well as you see by the benchmark numbers in real use. To get that performance in every app you would have to sacrifice battery life and also will experience thermal throtting that wouldnt occur during 5 minute benchmark run. Also, not all oems have user selectable peformance modes. Again, what does the batterygate have to do with this?

                                        Which benchmark did they invent? Why dont you give your oh so superior sources then? Oh yeah i forgot your source was antutu. Understandable.
