we need more reviewers like this in english speaking world. 90% of them are just running geekbench and Asphalt 9 for 5 minutes and call the chip "amazing".

[MaxTechOfficial]

You guys are awesome! So glad you made an English account!

This feels like a university lecture in terms of depth compared to american reviewers, i really liked it, thank you sir

[tsalapbeew]

I just stumbled upon this review due to YT recommendations and I can say that I'm happy that this was recommended. Compared to the usual phone reviews, e.g. Marques Brown Lee's channel, these types of reviews talking about the CPU itself will make me really think twice about buying a new phone.

I don't care if the phone has all the latest and greatest features available if the CPU is not worth upgrading to compared to my current phone running SD 865.

Keep on doing what you do best guys!

I really appreciate that you had so much details covered in the original Chinese review but I didn't expect there was an English version, cheers. In regards to the topic of the video, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is yet another letdown from Qualcomm, thinking that they'd realise their mistakes. It'd be more suitable to be put in a tablet rather than a phone. Now I'm hoping they can make a successor to Snapdragon 778G.

I hope you release more english reviews as your reviews are in depth and far better than what the bulk of most "youtubers" release as reviews

[lawrencechen]

从没想到老哥英语也这么溜，没有一点违和感。三连。 Never ever wonder Yunfei got such fluent English. Bravo, man

[keltonhuang]

Applause from a Bilibili follower! Glad that you made another version of English for worldwide geeks. Chinese YouTubers can also make great English IT videos. Come on you Geekerwan! Follow the channel guys.

Gen 1, very fitting name. As the first generation of anything usually sucks.

[theJesai]

Thank you. Finally a reviewer who's actually info the nitty gritties I like, not reading out a spec sheet :D kudos!

[DSDSDS]

English version? Delicious. Now I can spam this to English based forums without translating half the video myself! Absolutely based.

I traded my Xiaomi Mi 11 (SD888) to an Asus ROG Phone 3 (SD865+). The Mi 11 heats up really fast, even while just casual use like browsing, to the point where it is aleady uncomfortable to touch. I already tried flashing a custom ROM and playing around the kernel settings, downclocking, still heats up fast.

And now we have benchmarks proving that the latest Snapdragon chip suffers the same issue of the SD888. I am glad I chose to downgrade to SD865+. It is really a stable chip, especially on sustained performance.

[ravishjoshi]

This video encompasses all the reasons why I didn't bother waiting for next year's flagships. I don't really understand much of this very well but Qualcomm needs some kind of overhaul to pull their shit together. This is the 3rd or 4th chipset in a row that's just terrible but what I'm most surprised about is the fact that they managed to make one that's worse than the SD 888.

[denmendoza]

bro you nailed it! We want more quality content for the upcoming dimensity 9000 and comparison with the crappy SD 8 gen 1!

[ryanramadhan]

Got it in my recommendation, watching the video and immediately subscribed. Technical aspect described heavily and so detail and elaborate us not to be trapped on marketing bullsh°t.

Thank you and please keep on making this type of video!

[patana]

Thanks for sharing! Really changed my mind on the latest android chipset.

[AgentSmith]

I'm very impressed with how far smartphone chips have come, especially the single threaded performance is great and soon better than my old desktop gaming PC in that regard 😆

[Antagon]

It's really awesome to see someone discuss the instruction set/ architecture for once.
Not just how it performs in stupid mobile games.

[bahoaday]

Great review. I like how you present the CPU architecture in a very easy to understand way. Thank you.

[depresseddude]

I’m glad I found this channel. It’s so much different than regular phone reviews. You really set the bar high for others.

I cannot wait for you to review the Tensor chip, I’m sure that’s going to be a very interesting video.
