                        Gary, 22 Feb 2019No OIS, but video sample is very stable. Strange. There is EIS in video up to 30fps

                          How's haptic feedback on this phone?

                          is it as good as the Pixel 3 or LG V40?

                              it's not waterproof. that's why it can be cheaper than flagship of samsung and Apple

It is the same with a pc,it is better that you have a highend graphics card,then only a highend cpu.Your pc will run smoother with a highend graphics card than only a highend cpu.But if you have both,it is even better.Gfx bench is only cpu performance and Antutu is cpu(processor)and gpu(graphics card)!!!

                                  Why snapdragon chipset have less single core multi core and gfx than competitors(in this case A12) but higher antutu ? Are they cheating? I noticed this in many snapdragon chipsets
