Once again, fuck Samsung for doing this!

It’s not as much on Samsung as it’s on Qualcomm playing hardball. By using their own chips Samsung is showing they won’t be pushed around.

Yes, but by using their own chips in a big market they’re making their users leave for iPhone or potentially other android makers that don’t ruin your battery life like Exynos. Typing this from a hot S20 plus 😔

On that note, may I interest you into looking at the Sony line-up? 🙂 Either this year’s (V) or previous (IV), they make incremental upgrades so it’s not a huge difference year-to-year. Even the 2021 models (III) are still interesting if you can find them.

Best battery life I’ve ever seen on a phone.

probably ur battery already formed dendrites, causing it to have micro shorts internally and thus spreading heat in the phone case. a phone with 10w charging causes the battery to heat, let alone ur galaxy s20 charging at 15w. i actively cool my phone battery while charging by putting it in front of a fan so the battery stays cool and doesn’t form dendrites, and thus stays healthy. i also use a silicon case instead of leather else u ll be thermally suffocating ur phone: it uses metal as a case material for a reason. exynos for s20 seem to be made on the 7nm process node which usually should be efficient in term of temps. even when the cpu heats up (even using the 4g antenna, let alone a 5g one when active, the camera flash, all those heats up and causes the phone case to heat up too and then a chain cycle ensues by causing the battery to heat up sponatneously too, then it dries up faster than usual which compels the user to plug the charger and the infinite cycle of heat will never end…i never owned an exynos phone but sometimes a phone need to be underpowered so it could last.samsung phones are really overperforming but unluckely their users aren’t just thermal conscious. no engineering degree is needed to have a grasp over phone thermals but sometimes having some knowledge is needed if u cherich ur phone

Will wait to see how it plays out. Seems that the Exynos 2400 is expected to be less crap then the past few gens of Exynos processors, so so long as it’s not going to crater battery life or performance vs the Snapdragon models I’m not fussed.

Given that the Exynos 2400 is supposed to be fabbed by TSMC let’s hope that this will be the case.
