I recently switched from Samsung to Xiaomi. Overall, Xiaomi seems better in several aspects, especially regarding hardware for the price and the charger. However, its software is a bit on the downside and requires some work and updates. In terms of software, Samsung seems to have an edge.

You're totally wrong. It's great, no, it's awesome because the Poco F5 Pro has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and it's made by TSMC, not by Samsung which is inferior in comparison.

Henrik, Dude, both processors are manufactured by Samsung using a 4nm fab. The Exynos 2200 is "inspired" from the 8 Gen 1. See the CPU architecture. Both are prone to throttling.

Pro nve, Yup. They were both based on the Samsung process node and the 8 Gen 1 has got to be one of the worst releases ever. That's entirely why Qualcomm had to make a 8+ Gen 1 to make up for that. I suffered with constant thermal throttling on my S22 (8 Gen 1) for 3 years now (I just upgraded to the S25 Ultra). Qualcomm should have just stuck with TSMC for their silcon.

Meh. There is no truly great flagship phone on the market at the moment. I am wanting to upgrade from my Note 10 Plus but the S22 Ultra is flawed and the new Xperia 1 iv still has a poor battery and the usual SONY overheating.

Samsung told that the phones will get a software update and it will increase the battery life and chipset performance. Let's wait until then and we can see which is better according to me. It's kinda underrated and some ppl really hate it for no reason.

Lunch time, Don't be silly! Don't buy any of these phones if you don't need the most up-to-date performance. Both Samsung and Apple are evil corporations that take more and more while giving less and less. Unless you need to show off and actually care about status. Support companies like Moto. Their phones are good enough for 99% of people and they're cheap! They give you exceptional quality and great features for a fraction of the cost. Shit bags like Samsung and Apple need to go die in a ditch together for pulling such greedy bullshit year after year.

Stefan, Motorola is literally THE OLDEST phone manufacturer. They know much better than anyone else how to make good phones. And for the software... No, it's not sh*tty at all! It's a nice android experience and the irony is that they don't put any bloatware in their software, while even Samsung's one ui has some. The only problem it has is only 2 years of Android updates, sadly.

Cause they said the same about S20 Ultra, which had serious flaws due to the Exynos chip, and they took what? I think they took nearly 2 years to get it up to par with snapdragon...

Stefan, **Stefan**, Xiaomi's software might seem inferior only if you don't know how to use it. Samsung and other manufacturers stopped competing with Xiaomi in terms of pure features a long time ago, even if that means accepting fewer bugs.

Do you even know anything about how the CPU works? Just having a better GPU doesn't mean it performs better. The SD is as superior as ever. Just test them both and I dare you to come to say you did not agree.

asda, Considering Samsung delayed the Exynos 2200 to tweak performance, especially of the GPU, to get it in the same ballpark as the 8 gen 1 speaks volumes. The cooperation with AMD hasn't been as successful as they'd hoped, but then it is the first chip produced under this partnership, so let's hope lessons are learned and next year is better. I'd say the Exynos 2200 is closer to the SD888 than the 8 gen 1.

If Samsung and AMD make these APIs easy for developers, I might have hope. Driver updates are very slow on Samsung phones in my experience. Driver updates are also very important. For example, on my Galaxy A51 (SM-A515F), a Mali driver update that Samsung has released via an OTA update in September 2020 increased Vulkan and OpenGL scores in Geekbench by around 400 points. There has still as of the December 2021 update, not been a graphics driver update for the Galaxy A51 for me. On my Galaxy A52s (SM-A528B), the Adreno driver is dated May 2021. As of the latest OTA update (December 2021), there has been no driver update. Now with Samsung and AMD, they should release driver updates that we could manually download through a website or something (So we can use older APK files if driver updates are broken, and also allowing many driver APKs to be installed at once so we can select specific versions we want for games to squeeze all of the performance we can get out of the AMD GPU). Here we can test (potentially unstable) drivers on specific games where we can select drivers from the developer settings in Android. The main stable driver (which Android normally uses) would still be stable and distributed with OTA updates. Most importantly, this could push Qualcomm and other competitors to do the same if it's even possible to add drivers like that in Developer options without root. Then we can use specific drivers for specific games and they can be competitive. Samsung should still release driver updates for non-AMD Galaxy phones still. Competition is important.
