      I know it may be silly to ask but I don't know so I'm asking anyway... would this chip be compatible with the s20 ultra? It's more than likely going to be in the s22 ultra but Australia is sadly more than likely to have any low quality overheating exynos chip over It.

              You should not really call any review by Anandtech of Apple products as reviews. They are homages paid to their shrine. This is a ritual with them..

                My point was this, their is more information and structure to that information over at Anandtech, as well as a host of other sites, than on display in the comments section on this site.

                Or is your arguement that i should take some random anon's "Apple sucks and everything it does sucks, becuase i don't like them, and what I say is totally right!' post as the bottom line yeah?

                People who clearly have a bias, should not call out bias in others, neither should people go around passing off their own biased opinions as fact!

                  Best example is the Review of Galaxy Note 4 where Anand's love for Apple was in full display. His facts were mostly correct but the choice of facts and their interpretation were questionable. The most clear example of his bias was when after tons of readers complained that Anandtech totally disregarded the importance of replaceable batteries and support for memory cards in favor of aluminum cases (i.e. form over function) Anand and his buddy Brian Klug published highly questionable editorial titled Post about removable storage, removable batteries and smartphones. This post was soundly criticized by readers. Soon after Brian Klug joined Apple now followed by Anand. It is clear that the two people who were in charge of reviewing Apple products at Anandtech for a few years suddenly abandoned their blogger careers and joined Apple. This does remind me of the politicians joining lobbying firms after leaving congress. Nothing illegal. Just does not smell right.

                    [deleted post]But it's ok for you to talk trash about them whenever and wherever you like?

                                  Even Snapdragon 800 series overheated on me except the 800/801 and maybe 835. The 820 would definitely get hot. Not as bad as the 810 but it still would and things would slow down once it begin to throttle. My Pixel 3 with 845 can't be used in summers because it would turn off automatically if it starts to get warm inside my car.

                                  Every phone overheats playing Genshin Impact. But for daily tasks, Snapdragon overheats more than Apple's SoCs from my personal experience. Dragon breath. 🔥🐉

                                    I'll just stick to Apple, GSM Arena's favorite in comment sections. So much praise for iPhones on here from "anonymous" commenters. Such a love fest for iOS.

                                    Read this about the A14 Bionic chip. A Snapdragon 865 from last year is only on par to an A12 that powered the iPhone XS and single core to the A11? 🤣 No wonder video recording is always inferior on Android. I would know. I use both daily and used Android longer.

                                      Anon here probably meant this SoC isn't worth creating, not that creating a new model is waste.
