    Anonymous, 23 Feb 20226nm 5g modem? the latest qualcomm 5g modem is 4 nm how wil... moreBecause nanometers are not everything... Why do you think IOD chip inside Ryzen 5000 processors accompanying the 7nm CCX is actually 12nm ? Because for some things, there is no need to go as low as possible. In fact for modems and radio devices, often times larger nodes are actually more reliable in transmitting signal than tiny ones. Professional radio equipment is often several nodes behind compute processors. Because it's more reliable and effective that way. You'll have to ask electrical engineer why exactly that is, because that's beyond my "pay grade". I just know that is a thing with radio electronics and modems do fall into that category.

                  [deleted post]If I were the one who made a comment and said something about Xiaomi or android even without using an **** words. My comment won't be published. But, this guys, literally like 90% of the comments here is rampaging by him and GSMArena mods seem to be no where to be found. Funny tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

                    Still a good improvement over previous modem. If they add 120hz to base model, I'm ready to switch my loyalties from Android to iOS. Btw did this comment section get spammed by some drunk uncle last night ? Suprising !!

                      Looks like Qualcomm will lose a huge modem order. Can't say they don't deserve it

                        I thought they'd integrate the modem into their SOC but maybe they can't do it just yet.

                          [deleted post]Hold on, im an hardcore Android user ONLY, BUT personally i dont care who making what, i just need a stable fast and good phone, and i have.
                          Lies you said, you see all the lies Samsung just comes with, the refresh rate and the charging speed in the S22 serie is not what they promised.

                          Both Apple and Android industry is rotten... Big money you know.

                          And remember, its only a silly phone no matter brand.

                            [deleted post]Qualcomm, Mediatek, Samsung and blah do the same, and all the brands do it with their cameras "the best camera" and it's a Sony sensor, apparently you don't use the organ called the brain much

                              Apple, hold your horses! Soon, there won't be slots available for Mediatek and Qualcomm!

                              They won't. They'll hog everything. That'll be good for the upcoming iPhones though.
