I'm not sure, but I'm confused about whether to choose the Google Pixel 6 or the Samsung S21. I play Fortnite and also like to take videos and photos. I'm wondering if it's worth sacrificing the Snapdragon 888 for better battery life and camera quality. Additionally, is the Tensor considered a good processor for gaming?

The Tensor is also based on Samsung's (and Exynos) 5nm nodes. If you intend to game on your phone, I would essentially eliminate both of these devices from consideration. Both SoCs are power-hungry and generate substantial heat, which could significantly shorten the battery's lifespan. I'm currently using the Oppo Find X5, arguably the best SD 888-powered device in terms of battery life. Even after nearly two years, I can affirm that OEMs haven't managed to optimize the SD 888 to run as cool as possible. If you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend opting for a device powered by SD 870 or Dimensity 8100. If not, I'd suggest considering higher-end chipsets such as the SD 8+ Gen1 (but NOT 8 Gen1!) or SD 8 Gen2. The OnePlus 11 is a solid candidate for this, as it's not overpriced and is significantly cheaper than other flagship devices.

Emre, The ONLY 8 Gen 1 phones you can go are the Red Magic 7 due the fan and the S22 Ultra due the size. I can't see other options. OnePlus are great but they are fragile.

I'm don't have 888 or a14 not fan boy May 23, 2021 at 08:36 PM
a14 is less powerful but will get higher fps because of the iOS so a14 wins but if there will be a 888+ it might beat the a14 but rog phone 5 ultimate beats the iPhone 12 pro max because of 1080 display and not 1440 it got 69 fps but IPhone 12 pro max got 60 fps lol rog phone 5 ultimate got perfect number 69

Oneplus 9, 9 pro and samsung s21 every model in us, asus flagship this year, vivo flagship this year, lg k series, oppo flagship this year and maybe realme. Also xiaomi mi 11 pro will come in Feb which will have the same processor. Also I think qualcomm is making it's own phone by partnering up with some company.
