Crazy that there are budget processors from 2024 that fail to beat a flagship processor from 2014. =(

I have an Oppo N3; it's not smooth compared to modern phones. I was happy using it at the beginning and still am. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The phone, I just use for calls and SMS, sometimes I listen to songs.

Super amoled, I have a HTC running this chip. (M8) It runs the Play store at 15 fps. (I'm having a bad time typing this at 12 fps) I then unupdated the Play store until it was the original 1st version that came with Android 6. Ran perfect. *chef's kiss*
