How does the year in which the phone launches in determine which chip it's supposed to be compared to? And plus they're also prolly gonna release some SD 8 Gen1 phones before this year ends.

                  But something you see everyday like display can't be compromised on.
                  High Sar value?? No phone is passed without proper certification.
                  It's well within limits. Your Sony has been reduced to NPC meme by companies like Xiaomi.

                    ARM is ARM. x86 is x86.


                    Intel tried to make chip for mobile phones too and failed miserably too,, that was back in 2014 when Intel own the chip industry.

                    since then, both Intel and AMD been out of mobile chip for years,,
                    while UniSoc been selling entry-level chip worldwide for years.

                    so yeah,, UniSoc have more experience in arm chip.

                    even Mediatek become number 1 mobile chip seller this year.


                    you say?

It's literally AMD's technology sold to Qualcomm years ago. It was only IP, I'm sure they retained engineers or at least most of them. Especially given they are cooperating with Samsung on new generation of GPU for mobile. They also proved they have competitive products in the PC space as well. So, I wouldn't write off AMD just yet when it comes to ARM.

                                  A15 was released in late September 2021 and even if sd 8 gen 1 is released January 2022 they will be 3 month apart.
                                  Just because a kid is born december 2021 and another one is born january 2022 it doesn't mean they are a whole year apart.
