In reviewing the SD 8 family, no one would call it lousy. You're all correct. Samsung is a holding company with various subsidiaries, such as Samsung Phone Co, Samsung TV Co, Samsung Air-Con Co, and the well-known Samsung OLED and QLED Screen Co, among others. Samsung's high-end phones still hold 40% of the market share, while iPhones have 20% (the remaining 30% is shared among 40+ other brands), and there's a reason for that. In the realm of electronics, including TVs, washing machines, and mobile phones (even iPhones use Samsung screens), any brand not using Samsung screens is considered low-end and cheap. If you're unsure, just ask Google. Moreover, no one dares to "officially" claim that their foldable phones have IPX8 water resistance, as their engineering is still top secret. For instance, the Oppo Find is only IPX4 and hasn't been officially announced yet. The SD 8 family's batteries charge quickly and last a long time. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung Flip 4, and S23 Ultra. I really hope the iPhone gets a fresh new look. It's no secret that Google has a long-term partnership with Samsung, so no single phone can dominate the market. All apps will be compatible with the Gen 8 family, and due to this, even Oppo's CEO stated that no other phone chips or software can handle all of Google's third-party Play Store apps, making it impossible for any phone to become international. However, if you have an iPhone with its own iOS software, you can do virtually anything, anywhere in the world. Cheers! 😊

Hey guys, Does the 8 gen 1 or 888 really that bad? I've checked the CPU stress test and it's a disaster really. On the other hand I'm interested in either Xperia 5 III or 5 IV and wondering if they've been able to optimize it after that long time. Cheers!

The fact that Qualcomm went to Samsung after the whole "Exynos processors are unbelievably horrible" fiasco, and that too for the first one of their next generation of processors is just mind-blowing.

SD 8 plus gen 1 is built by TSMC's 4nm process and SD 8 gen 1 is built on Samsung's 4nm process. Samsung really sucks at making chips.

The fact they're behind TSMC doesn't mean they are trash, there's much worse out there.

Muzammil, My guess is Samsung has too much to worry about. Look at how many phones it has to produce every year! Then they do other stuff like a washing machine (though that's in another department). Samsung just really doesn't have much time on chips, which now made the Exynos disaster. Snapdragon is a little bit better since they spent time on optimizing, but as long as the hardware suck, it can get no better. TSMC has been working on these chips for years, like Samsung. But unlike them, TSMC ONLY makes chips, which was another story. So yeah, what do you think?

hey, Unrealistic reasoning. Samsung is a group, I didn't double check but I highly doubt the same company or department manages both chips and washing machines. And definitely not the same people.

hey, Samsung has different departments, their sole focus isn't making washing machines and other stuff as you put it. They have a colossal team for making chips, the fact that isn't their purpose doesn't mean they automatically are worse.
