Hemedans, 08 Dec 2021That video he did admit it was short (11 min) in descriptio... moreLol, you keep referring to a video where he admitted he heated up the device before recording. hence why I put ice universe and golden reviewer in the same box - fake reviewers and fake scores every year.

Also this video is before the 120 fps update - something android doesn't have since its too slow. Hence why the video I showed was after the 120 fps update.

Higher fps on iOS, higher graphics settings on iOS. plain facts.

      Anonymous, 09 Dec 2021Antutu intentionally boosts scores of certain phones especi... moreI like speed test G but don't get confused. For you to really test a phone or a PC, you have to do it under the same conditions. Example, Intel vs M1. The both runs on the same operation system and the both support the same APIs. That is not the case of iOS and Android, the both runs on different operations system and different APIs, so is really difficult to really know which SOC is faster than the other. Look at the Nintendo Switch with the Tegra X1. That is a SOC from 2015, is not even close to the power of the SD or A15 but it have a way better looking games. Optimizations play a really big part in the performance of a device, and apple on that is the best.

      A more fair comparation is Huawei Kirin vs SD and if you saw, in speed test G, the SD 865 is faster thant the Kirin 9000 and the Kirin is a newer generation compared to the SD 865.

      Testing them under the same conditions is how do you know which hardware is better.

        The time Apple bring retina display.. the resolution war broke out.
        The time Apple bring 64bit, it wake up android to quickly implement it.
        The time Apple bring the M1.. intel decided to wake up immediately.

        Apple bring world shocking and changing tech. Every new innovation brought forward, everyone copies. Once, its over, android makers will go back bringing useless gimmicks.

              [deleted post]It's why superior Android users buy new "better" phones every year lol. Meanwhile I'm on 3 years old iPhone right now which is considered ancient by age yet it's so snappy I don't see any need to buy a new one. Must be because it's so slow and I don't get any software updates anymore. Oh wait, that would be describing most Android phones lol

There are lot of games which run at 1440p in Android. I agree some games are more optimized for ios but it means nothing in thermal throttling of Apple devices.

                From Macbook to iphone Apple is known to prioritize luxury/premium look over functionality, same reviewer that Golden Guy did test 120fps games in iphone 13 pro max, when you are at menu or doing small task it run at 120fps but when you are fighting it roll back to 60fps, while Android devices can maintain 120fps in same game.

                    [deleted post]120W already spotted as a scam, charging at only 95W, and produces an insane amount of heat.

                      It's not that straightforward since it also depends on OS optimization in the first place. So really, it's still way too early to brag about the benchmark scores.

                        Qualcomm. Massive disappointment.

                        With all the hype and changing ur naming. You should be aiming for the M1 chip.. but you end up short for the A15.

                        Apple is laughing at you. But its ok, you have tons of blind fanboys who believe in your chip.. go ask your phone / PC makers to make bigger chassis and bigger battery so you can run those chip fast.. Gonna go fast.

                          Qualcomm has a knack of overclocking processor to get more performance so I would want to see the power consumption figures.

                                When I see the facts, TSMC produce around 50% or more of all chip’s for Apple and they get the newest, then I see again TSMC produce for Qualcomm at around 20% or less, and I don’t know to cry or to laugh. Even to make more powerful chip this doesn’t mean that will be efficient and this guys it’s very important, because you will charge your phone or tablet every few days, not everyday. Powerful but efficient chip, not from Qualcomm or Samsung, they are a few years behind, I like what is doing Qualcomm but it’s not doing enough, just my opinion, no offence.
