QUOTE(Vape On @ Apr 4 2017, 12:02 PM) No. Problem is we dont buy phone based on performance. Yes I don't buy based entirely on specs alone.We buy them based on gimmick features branding support resale etc. We dont buy them to run antutu or open 50 apps and then reopen 1st app. But that's the trend with 90% of Android reviewers out there. Specs come first. Usability and bugs later. Worst is Youtube reviews. If the specs are top end, hype it first. Then they will do a 1 month/3 months/6 months/1 year later revisit talking about the same shit pretending they have been using the phone for that long. Skipped all the hidden bugs and issues. That's why I don't trust reviewers any more. And what happened to the remaining 10% reviewers who are honest? They got bashed. This post has been edited by davidletterboyz: Apr 4 2017, 12:09 PM |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Apr 4 2017, 11:37 PM) Kirin 960 is quite good. A73 vs modified A72. A73 is exactly what's inside snapdragon 835 and exynos 8895. The only downside is the gpu shader core is only 8. Although it's running newer G71, it's a bit slower than S7e exynos 8890 with 12 shader cores T880. The thing about A73 is sustained performance vs peak performance with A72. Kirin 960 is just a bit faster than Oxynos 8890 but much more expensive (P10 plus vs S7E).S8 is a different beast with either 835 or 8895. It's built on 10nm which will guarantee 30% faster than A72, compared to Kirin 960 which is on 16nm, which is limiting the gain between 10-15%. QUOTE(DannyOP @ Apr 4 2017, 11:54 PM) The price drop makes S7 and S7 Edge very good value proposition. You no longer need to buy Oneplus 3T or Huawei type of phones to save money. Although Huawei P10 is a decent phone, I still think it's too expensive. Should not be 2499. P10 to me looks pretty much like P9. After 1 year they didn't improve anything on the design and bezels look huge for 2017 phone. I totally skip this phone, in fact I like the P9 better. This year any screen that doesn't look like S8 and G6 will look out of date. If irenic's leaked price is true, then P10 Plus is not appealing at all. However mainstream people may differ. A few people asked me regarding what phone to buy, I can say most people want to avoid the Samsung edge display. They are scared of breaking it...So it may backfire. And the Leica brand marketing strategy is really effective. Everyone is talking about it. |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Apr 5 2017, 12:32 AM) You don't get it at all. Even S7e slows down when overheat. Kirin 960 had A73 which is what Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 has. It's all about sustained performance. If you only do benchmark and not gaming, then you won't know what it's all about. You want higher peak performance or higher sustained performance over a longer period of time. Is there any app that consumes so much resource for a sustained period other than gaming? In that case why pick a weaker GPU in the first place?Look beyond the process node. It's the same architecture inside 960 and 8895. Yes, it's will be slightly faster due to it being on 10nm but Huawei planning the same on 970. |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Apr 5 2017, 07:14 AM) Weaker? I think that's what the benchmark shows. Since P10 had FHD, I don't think it matters too much. Besides the most important thing is that the sustained performance of A73 will give more room to its GPU to not hit thermal throttle when compared to A72. I see.QUOTE(jerryhean @ Apr 5 2017, 07:56 AM) So, almost an hour longer.QUOTE(attw @ Apr 5 2017, 09:00 AM) Coming from a Mate 8, I would say that the performance is not too inferior to the S7 Edge in real life usage unless you're into heavy gaming, although the benchmark scores are vastly different. However the difference in camera quality is night and day. Also, EMUI is not for everyone. To be honest, in real life usage we won't be able to tell much. At least wait another 6 months to a year, when the software finally catch up in utilizing the resources, then we can tell.QUOTE(aaron1717 @ Apr 5 2017, 09:48 AM) but kirin 960 already in mate 9 which already selling the same or even lower price than S7E.... so i think the problem here is that p10 didn't go for newer processor... or they have too early launch their new processor before year 2017..... all the difference seems eliminated after they launched the mate 9 Mate 9 has FHD but better processor as andrekua2 said. S7E has 1440p AMOLED and IP68. Camera I think both are comparable and subjective. Then there are tiny details like earphone jack output quality, high quality mic recording etc. I've never used Huawei phone before so I can't comment on those. But these are the weak parts of OnePlus 3 actually. |

QUOTE(PhakFuhZai @ Apr 5 2017, 12:18 PM) yup steadyshot video really good, compare to S7 LOL when was the last time you owned a Sony phone?a pluspoint for Sony hardware is the sturdiness and quality though To me it's the worst among all. Z3 series was plague by touchscreen issue. Can say 100% phone would kena once akin to Volkswagen DSG gearbox. lol |

"So, demo set also don't have?", He repeated "not received yet". lol QUOTE(singgung @ Apr 9 2017, 10:22 AM) I think it's been like that for quite sometime already. Galaxy S6 was the last time i remember we can play with demo units before pre-order date. Other flagships were all blind pre-order. That's the actual meaning of pre order la.... For customers to order before availability. |
