Android works on multiple phones from multiple manufacturers so it's no surprise it can't be as optimized as an Apple OS on an Apple phone.
But then again ...
All praise and bow down before The Notch!
Largely apples & oranges, given the disparity between a single custom chip/platform and a host of chips/platforms.
smart phone <> religious icon
a lot of these threads become really, really creepy
Got my 8 Plus on Sunday
Love it
You pay a lot more for that too. The only reason i can think of is that Apple is going to go hard into VR soon with something like the samsung gear
At desktop-class prices.
Does this mean I can talk faster?
Can I do humongous spreadsheets and edit books now on a tiny screen using my thumbs?
Not a pro or anti post at all, but I can’t help consider the fact that a hand-held device is generally not used for serious computing. If the phones are already working faster than the humans can keep up, what does the quantum leap forward in speed actually accomplish?
Again - I am neither supporting nor opposing any product or product line. I’m just asking if there is a limit on the benefit of speeding up products that already out pace their users.
“Poole is referring to the difference between burst performance and sustained performance. Laptops can keep up their speeds for a longer period of time because they have active cooling. With an iPhone or other smartphone, the processor will eventually generate more heat than the case can dissipate.”
“But that doesn’t diminish what Apple has accomplished with the A11 Bionic chip. Whether it’s for 5 minutes or 10 minutes, the performance gap between iOS and Android has suddenly widened. And when you’re paying $700 to $1,000 for a new phone, you want something that feels future proof.”
Interesting, I will have to read more.
But it looks like this testing is all about opening the most complex apps faster, which for some apps can take twice as long on most Android phones.
The amount of raw computing power in modern handsets is astounding. Unfortunately, the fast majority of all that power is wasted executing the ‘idle’ instruction.
The whole widget, that’s classic Apple from way back.
50 percent really is leaving the competition in the dust. There is no other way to credibly describe it. I was gone for 18 months, and the venom continues. Oh, and I still use a flip phone, which amuses users of every feature phone regardless of brand. :^)
All the hardware in the world can’t help android overcome its biggest problem.... its android. The UI/UX will always be second fiddle, and no amount of hardware/spec sheet can or ever will change that.
Just looked at the Youtube Geekbench performance.
Wow the iPhone 8 Plus smokes the Samsung 8. It’s not even close.
The video I watched had another Geek bench software where it smoked Samsung 8 too.
Yes in terms of performance the iPhone 8 Plus is the best phone on the market. The iPhone 8 was very close too.
Probably the best bet between the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X since the cost is less. Although with the iPhone X you get the bigger screen and the face lock.
