Samsung has become Apple, innovation is dead. Vivo X200Pro better than S23Ultra Plus(Oh sorry I mean S25Ultra) in almost every way while only priced at 60% or so... For the first time since Galaxy S4 I'm not buying it. It's so boring that they put RCS messaging in the posters..

@HuaweiMobile @Huawei so i asked the staff: why do you refuse to take it in? what if this explodes or catches a fire at my home? can you just keep it first and we discuss about the repair cost once you checked it? Answer = NO

Guys i just want to get a second opinion on this. So my @HuaweiMobile Mate40Pro got a bloated battery and the service center refuses to do anything about it(not even taking in for a check) unless i pay upfront a "check fee". This thing is now a fire hazard, what should i do?

GPU performance/efficiency for Dimensity9400 in Vivo X200 Pro. Note that both peak performance and power are lower compared to the official test device from MTK, this is due to: 1.lower RAM freq(8533 vs 10667) 2. more conservative tuning by Vivo(focus on efficiency)

GPU performance/efficiency for Apple M4 in iPad Pro. I will test the new 9400 and SD8 Elite soon, stay tuned. Special thanks to PerfDog for making these tests possible.

Sustained performance is >20% better on A18Pro compared to A17Pro This is actually very impressive improvement. #iPhone16ProMax

Which camera do you prefer? Pic 1: #iPhone15ProMax Pic 2: #iPhone16ProMax Pic 3: #GalaxyS24Ultra Pic 4: #Pixel9ProXL

@spicy_p0tat0 To clarify I'll drop Manhattan test not Aztec test.

@Golden_Reviewer Some users in the Korean tech community think that GFXbenchmarks are still valid and that you and geekerwan are using benchmarks that favor Apple to defend Apple. How do you think? meeco.kr/ITplus/39268272

Apple A18Pro vs A17 Pro GPU performance and power(efficiency) results. We see 12-20% better performance and around 10% better efficiency at peak performance, which I think is a good progress. Still slower than last gen Android GPUs tho. Apple, up your game? #iPhone16ProMax

@special4u5 Maybe better CPU and better optimization. I'm not able to systematically test the CPU performance/efficient of apple devices. But from what I know, I'm confident to say they're well ahead of their Android counterparts.

@Golden_Reviewer i dont understand this , how come A18pro able to push more frame rates with higher details/resolution in games, with lower wattage compare to SDG3

Moving forward I'll drop GFXBench 3.1 test as it's too obselete technology and add the newer 3DMark SNL test. Results of various SoC will be gradually populated

Man I don’t know maybe I’m crazy or something, but in my real world tests, #iPhone15ProMax consistently takes brighter and sharper low light ultra wide photos than the #iPhone16ProMax … WTH??? Isn’t this supposed to be an “upgrade”?

New ultra wide sensor doesn’t really do much to the image quality it seems? I was expecting a little bit more. Can you even tell which is from #iPhone15ProMax and which is from #iPhone16ProMax ? 1, 3 from 16 2,4 from 15

Anyone notice a significant drop in CPU benchmark performance after updating to iOS 18? #iOS18 #iPhone

Sorry I had a typo, the X4 frequency should be 3.1Ghz not 3.2Ghz. Fixed here.

Google Tensor G4 performance/power consumption/efficiency test results. What do you think? #pixel9pro

@VinceLongman Tensor G4 takes 199s in 462, 8gen3 took 126s, is that considered broken?

@Golden_Reviewer Is 462.libquantum still broken?? Regardless, still a disappointingly big gap in power consumption vs TSMC

When I suddenly feel nostalgic and turn my Galaxy S10 back on...

#GalaxyFold5 vs #VivoXFold3Pro night shot. Do you like the color of the Samsung, or the details of the Vivo?
