Anonymous, 28 Sep 2022Barely beats 778 Precisely. Tensor is explicitely a mid-range chip, there's no way around that.
Samsung manufacturing process (understand Exynos-based architecture) takes a toll on battery life as well.
However, the custom ISP along with Google algorithm decimate every phone camera in the market.
This includes including Apple and their fancy A16 Bionic w/ new 48MP module.
Tensor 2 in Pixel 7, despite using same CPU, will have a new ISP, so it will only improve over that. Of course performance in games will still be vastly inferior to S8+ Gen 1, upcoming S8 Gen 2, and the A16 Bionic.
But don't forget that 99% of mobile games are greedy trash, so it doesn't matter.
If you want the very best, bleeding edge mobile photography that'll blow you mind everytime, Pixel remains the only way to go.
Don't take me wrong, Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max takes great pictures, most of them are technically comparable to Pixel 6, they just don't have the appeal.
They're flat & dull, chaotic neutral. Pixel shots are wallpaper-ready.

Then why do they even tried this Tensor thing? Is like they are saying: "We know that Tensor chip is not as good as Qualcomm's, but we wanted to try something anyway". Typical Google style. Starting something just because they have the money and they can, but not having the guts or ambition to finish it. Or at least make it better or more competitive.
Is the same case scenario with Samsung and Exynos. After years of just releasing inferior chipsets (in Europe at least), now they admit they were wrong and they want to implement only SD chipsets starting with S23 series.
As a Samsung customer, I can only ask: What was the point of all this inferior Exynos chipsets for all this years? They weren't more efficient, they weren't more powerful, they weren't cheaper, they weren't competitive.

Don't know what to think about this "review"... Everything is class-leading, but when I look into your photo compare tool, I don't see nothing class-leading on iPhone 14... i'm actually disappointed.. that ugly over sharpening etc...

There will probably only be three generations of Tensor anyway, maybe then they'll go back to Qualcomm, though that's just a rumour.

Pacifica Northwest, 28 Sep 2022Google Pixel is not weak, the Tensor G1 chip is comparable to the Snapdragon 888.It is not weak, it is poor.
888 heats but still a beast. The 1200 from MTK was also a good competitor.
Tensor... is basically exynos XD

Anonymous, 29 Sep 2022Is your $300 phone faster than the iPhone? Or has a brighter screen?My phone cost $500 but a $1500 iphone isn't 3x faster. I get what i pay for and then some. If you live in a house without a roof then you need a really bright screen.

Pacifica Northwest, 28 Sep 2022Google Pixel is not weak, the Tensor G1 chip is comparable to the Snapdragon 888.Please don't forget, it's not compared to snapdragon.
Don't comment anything you know without nothing u know.
While rendering 4K video, Bionic took 1st place , snapdragon took 2nd and tensor fall behind 3rd.
The only place where tensor can happily be told is it's natural language processing.
Apart from that, snapdragon is Androids top dog.
Not tensor or Exynos.
Maybe tensor can be compared to Exynos thats the right statement.

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2022People in Czechia will be paying near $400 more for same device compared to americans.
It ... moreTaxes is one of the factors but the other reasons for price hikes are the current state of world economy and Apple itself that want to keep a healthy profit margin.
The latter can be avoid as a trillion dollars company, they obviously can absorb the cost without affecting the consumer. They still can make profit albeit it lower than year before.

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2022Phonebuff's speedtest is out. Iphone is dethroned. A16 is 40% faster ehh. 8 Gen 2 is coming.I think that's more of a headache for scamsung. This further demonstrates their inferiority to TSMC. If in past two years TSMC made Android phones chips instead of samsung then such results would be more common.
As for apple, their inferiority to android is as evident as daylight. Already what can they say except "muh geekbench"? And in future they won't even be able to utter that phrase. Their downfall would be even earlier had it not been for past 2 years of scamsung chip.

Zizmo, 28 Sep 2022Nice. Better than any android out there. I wish I said the S22 Ultra but battery life is terrible and it heats up quickly. Not to mention the battery expanding issue. Xiaomi 12S Ultra UI is poor

You just cant read properly looks like.
I say that Apple does not have interest to give iphone/ipad the same high charging speeds of macbooks. And I also say many xiaomi/oneplus users here somehow think Apple does not know how to have 100W for iphone.

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2022Every country has taxes. Also, devices cme from India/China. There is at least import taxes. US prices though do not include the consumer sales tax in the quoted price. Different US states have different sales tax. This is a tax that consumers must pay. Therefore the price in the US is the price before sales tax and the real price consumers have to pay will be higher than the launch price as sales tax must be added. The price will vary from state to state due to each sate setting its own rate of sales tax. For Europe the VAT (sales tax in Europe) which needs to be paid by the consumer is already included in the launch price so the listed price is the price consumers actually pay after tax in Europe
