Time to make these thermal tests a key part of our reviews from now on!

There’s something that needs to be said from this… I would prefer that everyone needs to have a certain level of transparency when showing the next gen chips… Essentially for me all day battery life compared w less time near a wall outlet is what I really need… Forget thinness of the phones… larger more thicker phones w a good amount of efficiency and good battery savings paired a good durable housing and easily replaceable parts is key to me getting my phone moving forward…. Another great quality video Arun… Cheers

WE're PAST the point were we need extra performance from generation to generation.
If Qualcom releases next year a chip that consumes 20% less energy but has no performance gains. That's still huge.

[FaerieDust]

As mentioned in the video, I wish manufacturers would shift focus from constantly increasing the power of the chips, to improving them in other ways. Stuff like better power efficiency would be an upgrade consumers would actually benefit from to a much larger extent.

[faddddyyyy]

Thanks for bringing this up. I always wondered on this; on benchmarking scores and the actually performance of the device during stressful gaming.

[Waiknz]

Those numbers were always a bit shady for me since, when actually comparing both the new flagship and the previous one, you wouldn't even get close to those numbers. Let's hope manufacturers start focusing on the cooling and battery side of things more.

[TAMusic]

For me one of the most important things in a phone is battery life - I’m not that interested in slightly higher peak performance that’s only gonna drain my phone anyway. However I do agree that Samsung shouldn’t have hidden this feature from their users and used it to manipulate their customers…

[ScribeAwoken]

The bit about focusing on focusing on lower power consumption and better heat management is interesting to note because, if we were to shift our gaze over to the desktop and laptop space, that was one of the reasons why Apple switched from PowerPC to x86 processors, and while idk if it was explicitly one of the reasons they did it, it's also another benefit for switching from x86 to ARM. In both cases, a big driving factor behind the change in architecture was a desire for processors that were more powerful but that also ran cooler and used less power.

I'd basically say that most smartphones have a bottleneck in cooling. And chip manufacturers are extending the bottleneck. And instead should work to solve it so that bumping their performance actually matters.

[anankingtron]

I just about had a heart attack when I received my s10 and realised it was Exynos instead of Snapdragon. Always gonna make sure its snapdragon from now on ahah

[frank_avtor]

Thing is this has been going on for years, meaning that last year's phone were also limited in performance. The actual performance the users see is improved from the throttled down phones of years past.

Excellent job with the background music!! Feeling pumped 😁💕

[hestiaviolet]

I would like to commend the organization and cohesiveness of how you explain in these kinds of videos. I have an extremely short attention span so it's hard for me to stick long, but of course I'd still like to learn. Kudos to you! Kept it short and sweet, while giving the most information.

[amn]

I knew about the benchmark cheating from the past, didn't know we're still trying to pull this crap. As for GOS: I'm not entirely against the idea; I don't need the full power of the chip while scrolling through twitter or something. However this should be clearly communicated to the user, and I have to be able to turn it off on a per app basis, or in its entirety

[GlasgowGallus]

As always, cheers for a great upload, and I took the SurfShark deal too. Absolute steal. Cheers bud 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Very interesting video and pretty neat ideas! thanks for the insights!!

[intensegaming]

It would've been useful if big influencers like you covered the issues on S22 Ultra for eg audio video delay so that Samsung finally does something to fix it quick. On the flip side nice video as always!!

[maddrialan]

It's nice to be subscribed to a youtube channel which openly talks about the problems of a company, not fearing how big the company is and how it could affect future sponsorships and videos.

love the info you are sharing with us man, subscribed/
