    Snapdragon 710 is not only significantly faster than Exynos 7885, it also runs much cooler and is more energy efficient, resulting in better battery life. Furthermore, it supports higher download speeds and more connectivity options. It has more AI functions for cameras too.

    In conclusion, it makes a big difference to non-gamers too.

                Chee Khuan, 08 Jan 2019Mass problems with the screen of every current HUAWEI model... moreI would not be really surprised if this is happening just because my country is mostly controlled by the mafia and all phone carriers are working in cartel. I mean, if you run business and you can do shady deals with problem merchandise without any real consequences...
                But I have to admit that at least for the most of the people with screen problems they make use of the guarantee and their screens are changed free of charge.
                Still that should be happening in the first place.

                  Sam, 07 Jan 2019Hey, can I ask u? Do you hear a noice when you are knocking... moreDude... Aren't we discussing this very thing in the last few posts...

                  Yes, there is a noise, rattle or whatever word you can use to describe it. It is probably the lens gyro system.
                  I missed the time to edit my previous post so I`ll write it in this one.

                  There is a noise/rattle/chattering if you knock the phone and it can be heard from within the cameras zone and I think I know why.
                  As I`m subscribed to jerryrigeverything on youtube I have seen many teardowns of phones which have gyro optical stabilization on their cameras. He usually give them a poke or two with his pincers to show how they move.
                  Now, what would happen if the gyro components are not tight enough. It will clatter/rattle, probably.
                  There comes the bit from my previous post: "Bear in mind that although the cameras are using electronic auto-focus for photographs we have gyro optical stabilization when video is recorded."
                  The sound can be heard if you switch from one to another camera too.

                  So in conclusion I think that the noise is coming from the gyro mechanism.

                  I`m very curious for the opinions of the people who bought A9 2018, I`m almost sure that they can hear that too because Samsung probably have used the same basic mechanism inside.

                  May be I should write to samsung support for this. But I`m not really sure that they will give me any details.

                          Luckily there is no such problems with HUAWEI phones that are selling in my phone shops except for the first batch of Mate20 which used a LG display.

                              Hey, can I ask u? Do you hear a noice when you are knocking next to camera? Because I do. It’s a new phone so I am scared. Is it normal? Or what is it ? Thanks

                                Bear in mind that although the cameras are using electronic auto-focus for photographs we have gyro optical stabilization when video is recorded.

                                As for the chinese brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu and etc I have seen enough to chose to avoid them at all costs.
                                For example in my country there is mass problems with the screens of every current Huawei model. They are developing big yellow spots from the glue between the screen and the glass because of the heat from working. From the bits of info from everywhere I gathered that the screens were not to be used at all, but Huawei still chose to put them in. Defective LG screens that should be scrapped find they way into their production "by chance", yeah total bs.
                                We can also talk about the integrated spyware into Xiaomi phones... And so on an on with the chinese brands.
                                And yes, they put good combinations of parts for so much less money.
                                In my country we have a saying "There is no such thing as free lunch."...

                                And before someone slap me with "you are samsung fanboy" - I`m not. All my phones until now were from HTC. (HTC Explorer A310e, HTC 601, HTC One E9plus)
                                This is my first samsung phone and I`m pleased with it. The only thing that is bad is the camera, but it still covers my bare minimum requirements.

                                    A7 or P20 which camera is better?

                                      Alsis, 06 Jan 2019 camera lens noise? I just got my Galaxy A7 2018 and i am ... moreI also can hear the noise.
                                      If I put the phone little bit harder on a table for example I can hear little rattle. You can hear it at any time with only knocking near the cameras.
                                      I guess the engineers have cut some costs of the materials so the mechanism is loose enough to be heard when moving.
                                      I don`t think that is something to be worried for. I managed to drop my phone from over 1.5 meters height onto ceramic tiles. It was brutal impact but my hardened case saved the phone. It`s the one in the middle https://i.imgur.com/qtan3vL.jpg .Later I bought the left one for max gripe because the middle one was a bit slippery.
                                      My thought was that even after that hard hit I don`t have problems with the camera mechanism, nor it makes louder sounds when working. I think that it is build well enough.
                                      TLDR;
                                      You can just ignore it. ;)

                                        husssnain, 07 Jan 2019this device also has notification LED?No.
                                        The phone have AOD ( Always-On Display), which I don`t really like as it drains way more battery than a simple led.
                                        Well, some people like it more.
