The 765 chip in most phones is clocked very low, yielding an Antutu score ranging from 280k to 283k. It's rare to find phones with this chip that have a score higher than that.

855 is faster, but consumes 20% more battery as well! Pixel 5a with 765G lasts a lot longer on battery than 4xl with 855!

Only 20% with a 26% larger battery? Looks like 765 is what consumes more battery. Learn some math.

Nonono, No. Read that again. He said objectively 855 consumes 20% more with all things equal. So if 765G has 26% more battery then it will last longer than 20% when you have a variable in there that is an advantage for the 765G. Learn how to read.
