AnonD-731363, 02 Dec 2020Man then dont support Samsung is that easy buy Oneplus for ... moreDude Oneplus is even worse garbage than Exynos. Oneplus is like worse than Nokia phones..

Their camera is absolute sh*t and so is the rest of the phone. It's just some low-tier, chinese trash.

Only iPhone and Dragon Samsung phones are worth paying money for.

    It's pretty simple, if you wanna compare two products it should be a fair comparison, otherwise people will call you out.

    You wouldn't compare an "Apple A10" with the latest "Snapdragon 865+", just like how I'm saying you shouldn't compare a Snapdragon 855-based CPU with the latest Apple A14 like you're currently doing.

          Couldn't there be any company other than Apple that customized the standard design of the Arm?

            YBahadir, 02 Dec 2020I agree. But; I gave this link when a friend used a phrase ... moreThat link is for an 855-based cpu. Depending on the phone, an 865 can match or exceed an A14.

            Posting a link about the 8cx is irrelevant to the current 865Plus. You might as well post a link to a Snapdragon 855 benchmark instead, that would be as irrelevant as you using it to represent 865 performance.

            It's like if I linked you a rebranded Apple A8 and told you it's slower than the latest Snapdragon 865, no sh sherlock it's a much older arch.

                      Soon or later Qualcomm is number one. Mediatek or Kirin will fight for number 2 and 3 Exynos will be fourth and apple last on the tai.

                                      Dolby vision/HDR10+ is a must , don't know why OEMs didn't added it last year since SD865 supported it . But I'm still sketical about Apple Dolby vision version as it advertised as capturing 0.7 billion colors which is even lower then HDR10 standard of 1 Billion of colors shades
