    Samsung Galaxy S6 hype thread

    How did Samsung get 35% better power draw from its 20nm exynos note 4 (big little 64 bit disabled) core to the new exynos 7 while adding 2 more gpu cores and also upping the clocks? Are you saying Samsung 14nm is the same as Samsung 20nm in the note 4 exynos? Not only did the get better...

    How future proof are the current Android flagship phones?

    If you waited this long just wait a bit longer for the galaxy s6 if you want a future proof phone.it will be 64 bit and lollipop is 64 bit os and would be your best bet for a future proof phone. Not even the nexus 6 has a 64 bit soc in it if bought today.

    Samsung's decline

    who said anything about most selling phone.I'm talking about its profit gains for the 1/4 and I'll bet you they won't hit anywhere near what they were with the 6s next year as they did now from giving people a bigger phone. you really think a 6s is going to sell as much as the 6 did to hit...

    Samsung's decline

    Exactly! Apple finally gave users a huge screen iPhone and is where samsung was 2 years ago with the gs3.you can quote this for this time next year when apple doesn't come close to this 1/4 in profits. Ps samsung gained almost 30% profit from last 1/4 from when it was down 60% but no site is...

    Why Can't Android Update Like Windows?

    Look how much Samsung has done with the framework. The s pen alone is huge and you can't expect Google to have updates for it when they didn't code it in the first place.

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    Prove it PS you can't run any chip maxed out full load but under normal use there is no reason why a note 3 can't hit full clocks across all cores until the chip gets over its tdp limit.

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    When the a7 came out I read on 2 sites it was clocking up to 1.7ghz if that is not correct I'm sorry but please someone post me some proof that s800 or s600 or exynos octa can't run max cores at max MHz. If you watch big little videos at ces they show all cores pegging max clocks when pushed...

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    If the app is not stressing the soc enough it will not run the cores at max clocks.I'm guessing you have never messed with kernel settings and governors on android. You usually have 4 to 5 choices in the kernel with power voltages and clocks speeds that adapt with how much demand the soc is...

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    Guys the benchmarks are poorly coded and the OEM govenors are set to loosely to trigger all cores to hit full clocks through out the whole bench and that is why OEMS are putting these in place to make sure the bench runs all the cores without shutting a few off when it tests single threads...

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    Android has governor steps in the kernel depending on load and how aggressive the maker wants to set the phone up. If a benchmark app is supposed to bench a phone you want max out clocks to keep it repeatable and not the soc running different cores at different clock speeds and in idle...

    They're (Almost) All Dirty: The State of Cheating in Android Benchmarks

    How exactly is setting a performance governor in the kernel when running a benchmark app cheating? So if the 5s kernel runs the a7 at max MHz during a bench is that not the same thing?
