Good article, broadly, though not sure why you think flagship iPhones are smaller than Android ones - they also grew in size when Android flagships did. This trend was as much (if not more) to do with consumer demand for larger screens as it was the necessity of having larger batteries to power powerful chipsets.

I fully agree, unless you are big into mobile gaming.
Phones are becoming same as PCs, unless you are heavy gamer or editor you don't need highest end, fastest machine, same with phones, for majority of people highest end midrange chip will get the job done.
Tho it's fun seeing Qualcomm and Apple always push themselves further with chipset performance.

Only if you're planning to use your phone less than 3 years. Phones with high end SoC tends to be fast and stay fast after a couple of years, the same cannot be said for those with midrange ones.

Excellent article that lays bare the lunacy of Google's shoddy Android experience which has been sub-optimal for a long time, and to which dim witted manufacturers think the only solution is to use ever faster chipsets rather than properly optimised code.

Cyberchum, 26 Oct 2020Let's accept that you're right for one moment; di... more"iPhones have low longevity".
No. Newer devices have stronger materials.
Your comparing a device with materials from 2 years ago with a device with the latest materials.
In fact, iPhones have the most longevity, which is 5 years of software support.

This article literally tries to justify greedy companies like Google or OnePlus that are trying to increase their margins at the cost of the user. Apple includes their fastest chip even in the most budget iPhones. Android manufactures should do the same.

Cyberchum, 26 Oct 2020Louder, please. We can't here you. Maybe you should in... morethe writer of this article want a war between me and him, we need better soc, we need better ppppppeeeeerrrrfooooorrrmaaaance
this writer can not stop me,
i don't need 120hz qhd memc display, a 720p tft display is good enough and most of people who haven't tried a better display will not have any problem with it
the same for having 7 useless cameras why we need flagship cameras is the same as why we need flagship soc
i prefer to not have any camera and not having a quad hhhhdddd display instead of having those two useless features and not having at least snapdragon 855 85555555555555 855 i said 855 this is the minimum
cameras are useless the phone can run fine withput cameras but try without soc
this man is a camera fanboy and an soc hater
why he does''t say thay flagship cameras are not necessary but he say that flagship soc are not neccccccesssary, i will destroy the keyboard of my phone and press so heavily so everyone can hear me
why it is racism toward soc, why he talk about soc and not cameras, the crap selfie camera that destroy the full display and the depth selfie camera super useless
we want war, okk i accept your challenge nooooooooooooowwwwww
the soc is super important more important than the life of this writer (just kidding :)
how we can play emulators or intensive games without a powerful soc
why nvidia still produce rtx after gtx isn't gtx 460 good enough, isn't gtx 560 or 660 more than good enough, i will ******
if we stop producing soc's and we stop at sd 865 just bcuz it is good enough, upcoming phones will beomes unusable after each update that makes our phone slower

JDK, 26 Oct 2020Yeah, those iPhones are like from 2 years ago.
You'... moreLet's accept that you're right for one moment; did you know what your comment just said? That iPhones don't have longevity. That they start blowing up after about 2 years, which in other words mean that they have poor build quality.
What a way to defeat yourself with your own logic! Lol.

the problem is the 765g is way worse in cpu score than the 865 and even worse than that in gpu score, if only we could get somthing better that has good efficiency and power
