interesting how comments on android fan sites are now saying "but performance doesn't matter anymore"
Beats in benchmarks, loses in real world performance thanks to iOS 11 buggy mess.
WhatsApp doesn't need powerful CPU to run. So it may be WhatsApp's problem.There is probably a lot of truth in this. I played with a iPX for a long time during a pacific flight. I was surprised that the UI didn’t really feel significantly more fluid than my older iP6S+ and when scrolling through through some WhatsApp chats, my god, was that thing laggy.

Like you I got an iPhone 7 (2 in fact for my girls). Best iPhone bang for the buck in my opinion. Unlike you, I have an S7. I do not like the edge. The S7 is probably my last Sammy until the design language changes. Too bad iOS is so restrictive. The hardware is pretty damn good.I opted for a ‘new’ year old iPhone 7 as the benchmarks with the 8/X were fairly close, and I saved some money in the process. Wasn’t too concerned with the wireless charging either. Very happy with my decision. Blows the doors off my work S7 Edge too.
iOS 11 is a bug. For some reason when I turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in my control panel, it’s still ”on.”![]()
Wait till the iPhone X 2 comes out, and the corresponding new iOS major update comes for your phone... then look at my profile pic lol.Benchmarks may not always be indicative of real-world performance, but I can tell you that my iPhone X is always lightning fast and smooth as silk. I don’t have to wait for anything. Based on that plus these benchmarks, I’d say Apple’s silicon design group continues to amaze and maintain a huge advantage over the competition. Can’t wait to see what the A12 brings.
Firstly, the idea that Apple's CPU has 2 fast cores is technically a misnomer. It has 2 'dual issue' cores, which anyone else would call 4 cores in 2 modules because each core processes 2 separate streams at the same time in parallel, just shares some bits like power scaling.
Secondly, if the Exynos is running hot, it's doing so due to the design of the rest of the phone, not the Exynos. Samsungs thermal solution likely sucks, but for all we know that could mean that the 9810 is much faster in a different handset.
That's not a CPU task. The iPhone should win because it has a vector co-processor but that's not the CPU.
Oh sure like everyone is going to encode 4k video and compare their phones performance instead of using their social apps like 99% of users.Guess you missed those "real world" tests (like encoding 4K video) where the Note 8 gets slaughtered by the iPhone X. Even the iPhone 7 was faster.
You even get a message that tells you. But you know...reading is hard for some.It turns off temporally and turns on later like in a few minutes or so its normal

So let me get this straight. Samsung designs the Exynos chipset, and puts them in their phones, that they made.....YOURE saying that it’s their own fault if the SOC preforms badly. You also state that if we tried that SOC in another phone it could perform better...?
THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE SORRY NOT SORRY

What are you even talking about?
By 10% which most users wont need anyway. People use their phones for media comsumption and social apps, if you want to encode do it on a PC.The difference is with the iPhone you have the option of running powerful Apps. Many users won’t, but those that do will find them performing superior to any Android device on the planet. And I used rendering video as an example. Other Apps that actually have to do work (like editing photos) the iPhone wins.
