Stay with me... Qualcomm would not name the Tensor G4, G4 as this is Octo core so doesn't follow the same architecture unless it just numeric 4 which should have been avoided

This is where it gets bizarre, instead of developing the potential of a nine core SoC
wait for it.... the Tensor G4 is the upgraded Exynos 2200 with the latest cortices
1+3+4 see for yourself

Either the G5 "reverts" to a nine core SoC, or Google do one of two things go fully Snapdragon FLAGSHIP! or use upgraded Octo core architecture. The Tensor G5 cannot be another under whelming SoC, chasing the performance of many mid rangers but costing more

All in all the Tensor G4 ranks BELOW Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3, so better than the Tensor G3. As an example you have to consider the price of the Google Pixel 9 fold SoC is not even 2022 Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 $1899?

There are two significant dates and significant announcements expected from Qualcomm, the first is between now and 23rd September 2024

The second is the October announcement of the latest Snapdragon SoC. if as rumoured it is a 3nm SoC It WON'T be named Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, ONLY if it remains a 4nm SoC will it be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 which is just a name of convenience

Qualcomm has always changed the naming of it's SoC when the process changes 4nm to 3nm is that.


Whilst I appreciate and no doubt many of us will benefit from A.I I simply do not understand how spoof features such as Best Take and Add me in are even touted

          They have to think about lowering the price. It's not feasible to pay for postit size pen phone the same as for 14" tablet with same hw inside. S24 Ultra are just given for free in Germany at this point with phone contacts just to justify"Samsung is selling s24 well ". Internet is full with sealed boxes for sale

            I have s23 ultra and the bgmi game play süçkzzz ..the fps drops from 90 to 70 while playing.. I hope Samsung fixes their upcoming phones for heating issues rather than just competing with iphones 🤮

              Still super Happy with my S23.
              SD 8 GEN 2 is super fast.

              Still have 2 more android updates until version 17.

              Maybe by S27 or S28 most likely I'll see if it's Worth the upgrade.

              But good to see They are planning going back to SD chipset. Just hope they are not only favoring the Ultra version..

                [deleted post]It's time that Samsung offers all the Ultra features (best chipset in all regions, same camera setup etc.) on a smaller device. Apple has been doing this for a while and now Pixel is doing it too. Samsung is falling behind only having all features on 1 largest model.

                  There are many Pixel exclusive features I use daily like Call Screen and Answer or Decline a call by voice, just to name a few but the raw performance gap just keeps growing between Snapdragon and Tensor and the SD8 Gen 4 looks to further increase that gap but the S25 Ultra looks like it's going to be an even better S24 Ultra. I already decided to skip the Pixel 9 Pro XL to replace my 8 Pro with, I think I'm gonna wait to see what the Pixel 10 Pro has to offer and if the rumored TSMC made Tensor G5 also is not very impressive and Google just continues to lean into AI features even harder then I think I'll move away and get a S26 Ultra by then.
