They won't guarantee 100% protection yes, because it also depends on the phone user's unsafe habits (Ex. not locking the phone or using simple phone lock and passwords, browsing/downloading on torrent sites, sideloading unknown sourced apps, etc.)

    Just because locking our doors with upgraded door locks won't guarantee 100% protection from burglars doesn't mean we should just leave doors with old deteriorated door locks as is.

      if you read it right you see it's not a bit off.
      check video playtime pixel 8 vs samsung s23. pixel is better 2.30h.
      so if people use the device to watch more youtube videos, tiktok and instagram it will have better battery on pixel 8.
      where it lost bad is making calls that most people don't use it anymore.
      I make 5 calls per month at best. 99% I use internet to talk to people.

          888 ( Samsung Semicon)
          9000+ ( tsmc)

          Rog 5 scored higher battery endurance and did better during stress tests. Far better.
          Way better than stress results of Rog 6 Pro as well.

            Who makes A17 Pro that has heat issues and Apple had to nerf?
            Who made 615? It had heat issues.

            Chips made at samsung semicon that do not have any heat issues:

            480
            625, 626, 630, 632, 636
            690
            6g1 (aka nerfed 778)
            710 , 712, 720, 730, 732, 750, 765, 768 (765++) , 780

                    If Samsung process not at fault then how come almost all Samsung chip is inefficient but almost all TSMC are efficient? Surely there has to be something about Samsung process which makes it inferior. Maybe they cannot even manufacture good design, leaving it's clients with no choice but to make poor design? Who knows?

                    Apple heat issue is a new one and not the norm in TSMC. Its too early to blame TSMC for this. It could be variety of issue including Apple's new chip design, poor cooling etc.

                      Maybe not the best in the market, but some of them obtained a battery life comparable to the s23.
                      So the value obtained by GSM arena seems a bit off to me

                        I pretty much gave up trying to explain it.

                              Wait what? They don't give a damn about the battery at all or what? It has become worse than Pixel 7? Wow!!!
                              I still have high hopes from Google. Let's see.

                                I stopped reading at 83 hours endurance rating.
                                Absolutely hopeless.
                                How can Google constantly make phones with battery life like this.

                                  The move to TSMC made all the difference. So much they even buffed the clock speeds, while still having the edge in thermals and power consumption.
                                  Samsung nodes are not competitive in the high end. They're barely good enough for midrange chipsets.

                                  A17 overheats due to them hitting the ceiling of what their current core design can do. A17 is basically an overclocked A16, which in turn was an overclocked A15. To win the benchmark marketing wars they push the core to the limits, no foundry can help them there. But I guarantee you, on Samsung's node, A17 would be far, far worse.

                                    This review missed a couple of things

                                    Scrolling is terrible, there is a constant delay in response, some times almost 2 full seconds .

                                    Also
                                    The screen feels "hollow"
                                    If you tap in the Conners of the phone and then in the mid you can't miss it , was driving me mad...I know the display is glass , but the feeling is plastic, hard plastic.
