    Test for 5 minutes doesn't count.

    Already there are 1hr long stress tests built in Antutu, 3dmark, etc.
    IPhone is the thermal throttling champ of 2021, no arguing that...

      How is the power draw? Being a milliseconds faster would not interest me if it was power hungry and battery only lasted over a half day.

        Who still cares about clock speeds? More important things are heat dissipation (phone doesn't get hot during heavy use) and efficiency (longer battery life).

                Larger body deals much better with heat generated by CPU.

                If person really likes games, should buy simpler phone + tablet instead of flagship phone.

                  Samsung is also responsible for 2xx, 4xx, 6xx and 7xx chips.

I'm not a power user but I regularly switch through social media apps such as Instagram and Snapchat as well as messaging apps like Telegram and Discord, I watch a lot of videos on it and even do some light gaming, yet I don't need to charge my phone until when I'm right about to go to sleep most days. I'm not sure what your experience with OnePlus has been like, but I'd love to know what apps you use to make the battery life on whatever phones you use to be so bad.

                      wtf why samsung whyyyy everyone knows tsms is better samsung chip is destroying Android bruhhh
