Benchmarks don't tell the whole story. Test the devices in real use.

For example, ROG Phone 3 performs very well in benchmarks yet actually slightly underperforms in games, maybe due to poor optimisation or a cheap motherboard that gets fried easily.

      Snapdragon chips has to be low cost compared to bionic. Check their cache sizes they use. Also the power tdp bionic soc power goes as high as 7W whereas Snapdragon remains below 5w

Good advertising and publicity can only get you so far. If a product is as bad as you are describing it, then the sales each year should reflect the same . Its all upto what the user prefers, thats all.

            iOS can't fully utilize that RAW A14 power.
            The entire OS is nothing but a handicapped feature lacking mess.
            Marketing and brand value can definitely fool some people but not all.

            Androids are true daily drivers when it comes to productivity, multitasking, full featured functionality, security and privacy in your own hands and just an overall workhorse. It's not handicapped like iOS devices.

              How about no? Tablets always score higher when given the chance (i.e. have same or better soc)

                      So keep it quiet...im not a fan of how Apple is working...but when it comes to SOC, they are top notch
                      Nobody can't deny it..only those who aren't in the business

                        The battery of my 8th gen ipas is stuck up on 100%
                        I got it delivered yesterday only from online apple store can somebody help?

                          Coz in real world performance tests, phones with single core score of 900 in GeekBench 5 were faster than iPhone with score of 1400.

                          Besides, iOS can't extract the full potential of that chip.
                          Had these single core scores existed on Android, I'd be excited. On iOS platform, it's just wasted potential.

                            A13 power draw was 4.8W
                            Sd865 power draw is 2.9W
                            Exynos power draw is 3.9 W

                              AnonD-763241, 03 Oct 2020Hahaaha😂😂 that's very funny....there's nothing ki... moreThe battery-saving toggle actually clocks down the SoC. I get around 800 single and 1500 multi on my iPhone 11 with that feature.

                              There's no high-performance mode tho.

                                I think android chipset can catch up with Apple a14 in terms of cpu at least. This is just an incremental upgrade

                                    You should be comparing it with other iPads especially iPad pro 2020 and not with iPhone 11 pro :/
