It's true but in some conditions. Like if you play genshin impact at full settings in a14 it will give around 55-45fps and sd888 will give you 59-52(Asus Zenfone 8) But I accept that a14 is an insanely processor power and battery efficient But sadly if you see overall performance sd888 win in gaming in editing and also probably multitasking So sd888 wins. It's my opinion so don't get on fire.

I personally think the snapdragon 888 is better than the 14 Bionic because I used the 14 bionic in the 12 pro but then I switched the z fold 3 and it has way better fps than the 12 pro i dont think specs matter they only matter if you can actually use the power.

A14 is stronger in gaming but throttles quicker than sd 888. So if a14 was put in an android phone, it will overheat faster than sd 888. Ya'll iPhone fans say a14 is better than sd 888 in battery life. It doesnt overheat because ios limits its performance when it heats up. Not a fan of any brands

No, very wrong. The A14 pulls a max of 5W, whereas the SD888 easily pulls over 10W under heavy load, while still being unable to match the A14s performance. Thus if you were to put both chips into the same phone, the A14 would run cooler

Bob, It doesn't overheats because of many reasons. The RAM management is better due to less complicated IOS UI. Also it has lesser screen resolution with lesser refresh rate. The background apps are better optimized. Also the ppi is lower. Comparing the top edge phones S21 ultra SD 888 vs Iphone 12 pro max A14

A John B September 21, 2021 at 10:29 PM

"Has 2 more cores" is listed as a pro for the Snapdragon. This is wrong. The snapdragon has lower total performance and the fact that there are an extra 2 cores is already included in that performance. But the downside on needing those 2 extra cores is that the performance of each core is even lower that the overall performance indicates. So for any algorithm that cannot make use of multiple cores, those extra 2 cores actually spell bad news, and not good news.

Tikko January 23, 2023 at 07:31 PM

Exactly said. As a programmer and software developer, I can, (''matter of factly'') say that this simple logic of having an additional core (hardware extension) would tell you that you are compensating for something because your basic foundation simply cannot accommodate the need to perform overall. Apple chips are generally energy efficient and well-structured compared to Qualcomm. Qualcomm might be an excellent competitor in this segment but unless they put more effort into developing the 'energy efficiency' paired with an equally fast processing chip, Apple would still have the upper hand.

I'm not an expert in phone tech, however, I can almost guarantee you that Apple hasn't done this due to battery reasons. Apple has been avoiding making their phones too heavy, thick, or generally large and it seems that they finally have to go with the higher screen refresh rate trend... But the bigger battery actually makes my S21 Ultra almost impossible to use one handed... So maybe Apple might be on to something?

Aaron, Have you tried the Galaxy S21 Plus? It has the same battery life as the S21 Ultra while being more than 30 grams lighter. But I'm guessing you picked the Ultra due to the cameras. Otherwise, I don't see any difference in battery life from the S21 Plus to the S21 Ultra. I've already compared both on my YouTube channel, and I can comfortably tell you that they both have the same battery life.

singular, I had the 120hz setting turned on in my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (Snapdragon 865+) and the battery life was amazing 🤩. It lasted me throughout the entire day. There were two reasons for this. The number 1 reason is the LTPO display that dynamically adjusts the refresh rate from 120hz down to 10hz when you're not touching the display or 30hz when you are playing back 30fps videos on YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon. Secondly, the Snapdragon 865+ was manufactured by TSMC and it was energy efficient. I really enjoyed my time with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra before I decided to "upgrade" to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Although it was 50% faster than the Snapdragon 865+, it was overheating due to Samsung's 5-nanometer FinFet process, and the chipset was pulling over 10 watts of power on top of that.

And the point that he wants to state out it's if there's someone accidentally damaged the backglass of their phone, they're having a bad day to spend a fortune just to fix the broken glass when the other companies could've just charge u lesser then a new cheap phone does. If you ever damaged Ur phone front glass, and the company wants to charge u more than a used iPhone 8 plus does, would you spent the money? Think about it twice.

iOS, I really don't think that either of those phones are particularly durable... Especially given both of their track records... As for that particular drop test video, both phones survived until like 12 feet, where the S21 Ultra took a bad bounce. They should really do those tests with 3 phones, each. I bet you'll find the average to be very close.

Sup ppl... Been using both snapdragon and a14.... Both SOC are amazing... The SD could be the winner, but its biggest downfall is the lack of optimization from companies that use the chip... Most phones out there are plagued by shitty skinned androids, lack of updates and fine tuning... Its shameful that every year the snapdragon doesn't get used to its full potential.. Perhaps the best use case for it comes from the Asus ROG phones... As for the a14, the fact that apple controls its stack makes it more appealing for long term and it has superior software tuning to go with it... Also iOS in general is much cleaner under the hood when referring to coding. There is no messy files app, and software is supported for 2-3 or more times longer the android... They both have pros and cons... What I miss is a company like essential ph1, they literally had the best update support for android, even beating out Google's own phones!

Hard to understand how people don't fully appreciate Android for its easy access to Google Assistant which is truly a game changer. iOS has it too, thanks to Google but it's not fully integrated and a user has to negotiate with Siri first which makes the whole experience a real hassle. I still use my OnePlus 6 like it's brand new (A10 and patiently awaiting A11). I can invoke Google Assistant when my phone is in my pocket and locked. A must feature that iOS can't really offer. Buying an iOS smartphone is basically for either the braindead or just for a very discriminating user. Siri is worthless, by the way.

The first part, I agree, but my last 3 phones were a s20 ultra, apple iphone 12 and a note 20 ultra. Any app that was specifically optimized by apple or the developer works great, if I ever tried a sketchy app I have no support and it glitches like crazy. The samsung's solution was just throw as much specifications it could into a phone and slightly optimized it, although a stupid solution, it works like a charm and even the sketchy apps that I use for virtualization control or network management actually works! I don't have to carry around a laptop! Ok, I will give you that most people don't need their phone to do that, but I didn't really see the point of owning a phone that has a terrible assistant (which used to be the industry standard RIP Siri), has such a bad screen (ok yeah im spoiled by samsung), and its main use is for snapchat and instagram.

Bud, the iphone may have a 60 Hz refresh but it has a 120 Hz sample touch rate that makes everything fluid. Andrioid is performance all out while apple is productivity and class all out. The same goes for a Mac and a windows machine. They both are targeted for different marktes and shouldn't be compared much. I prefer android becauee of the simple performance numbers and Qualcomm provides just that! A14 bionic has its own uses. More ram or no android takes alot to run rather than iOS and so it need much less ram. And also the amount of gaming options on iOS are not as vast as on android with google play, that's also a reason apple can make do with less ram and give competiton to the best flagships. It comes down to preference rather than numbers.

Anonymous, I got news buddy. Android's have 360hz touch sample on average and 90-144z refresh rate. I heard a 240hz display is in the making somewhere...

Vicarious consumer, Where I am they only buy iphone for only it popularity they don't do shit on the phone the only thing they do is low heavy apps but we android users use the phone to the fullest to the tip and we enjoy it... Android will always be android if you sit down quietly you will realize apple is a scam even a Samsung Galaxy s 3 and 4 does a lot of shit but ask yourself where is iphone 3 and 4wtf can't even support some socially media android rocks.

The competition between qualcomm and apple is good for advancing technology and affordability. However this race really seems to be one sided in favor of the apple a14 bionic. You see the performance charts that the a14 is beating qualcomm's recently released flagship snapdragon 888 by decisive margins despite coming out 3 months earlier. And add to qualcomm's short comings, just recently the 888 was tested on iqoo and xiaomi phones and 2 major problems occurred, first the 888 consumed more battery power than expected and second the 888 ran hotter than expected which shows that the 888 needs refining, so my advice is if you're a android fan do not try to become the first kid on the block to get a 888 based phone but rather wait until qualcomm perfects their 888. By doing that you'll get a better perfected phone and you'll get for a lower price possibly since prices start coming down after awhile. Now if best performance is what you're seeking in a phone regardless if it's android based or apple ios based then the choice is easy, the apple with the a14 bionic wins easily since it wins in performance and does not have those 2 problems I already mentioned that qualcomm is currently having with their newly released flagship 888.

Optimisation will eventually come. Apple throughly optimises it before release.

iPhone vs Flagship Android January 13, 2021 at 10:20 AM

Since 2014, every 2nd year I bought one flaghsip OnePlus to me and one iPhone to my wife. There is no doubt, that OP has always better battery life, more free app option. But. After two years of usage - android becomes more laggy (after wipe too), no sw or security updates were delivered, battery life becomes worse against iPhone. And biggest pain point of my android phone was value loss. Android lost after two years 70-80% of origin value, where iPhones I sold in no time with half price. Since 2018 I switched to iPhone too (my current phone is iPhone XS 256GB) and guys, I'm still getting sw updates with new features added. No lagging, performance is pretty good. Still playing games on highest settings, battery life is still one day +. I know that iPhones lacks some android nice features, but I don't care because I don't need them. Buying a phone is the same as buying car. It's all about your preferences.

I would say it depends on the manufacturer of the phone and carrier for updates tbh. Bc google phones and samsung phones on Verizon receive all updates pretty quickly. The former quicker due to android software being made by Google lol.. I think that's where apple has a leg up since that process is more streamlined bc they don't have to deal with multiple companies
