The data was so tense. I can't think of another YouTuber who does all of this in a single video that isn't 10 minutes long, full of sponsors, and divided into a hundred parts.
Kudos to you and your team. Very impressive.

[guhankns]

This is not boring. This is thorough and brilliant journalism.

My guy has more useful information in one video than most tech websites/channels produce in a year

[alexlexo]

The only channel with a brain and a decent testing methodology. Thanks for providing such in depth testings instead of playing games and saying which one felt smoother without burning your hands.

[Angel-HC]

This video explains why my 865 phone has been so decent even two years later in terms of battery life. I'm just going to wait until everyone in the Android space adopts the Qualcomm chips made by TSMC(next year, fingers crossed) before I upgrade. I tried an 888 device and got a phone overheat warning when I was just setting up the phone and downloading all of my apps.

[nidalspam]

You guys are a blessing compared to the western tech reviewers. You guys get your hands dirty in order to get and crunch all of the data. Thank you and please make more of these analysis and deep dive videos because this is what an analysis and deep dive should have.

[ShaunTheSheep.]

I don't know why this video hasn't blown out yet, this is literally EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED TO KNOW being a geek for smartphone tech(processors, efficiency & thermals) and a really insightful consumer. You have done a wonderful job my man, cheers!
Ps: Maybe it's because of the length, but all the infographics and explanation you put in it is really worth it in a wide-view understanding.

[mistrotech]

This video shows what no other reviewers seem to show. Not going off the statistics from ARM, but testing yourself! It's a breath of fresh air with crazy effort put into each video. I'd rather wait for a great video than have constant uploads. How does the Cortex X4, A720, and A520 fare? P.S. We don't think this is too boring.

[michelet.]

This topic is so overlooked. Thanks for working on it. Looking forward an update covering new and more SoC especially mid range ones!

[coheemug]

Holy shit, the production quality of this channel keeps on rising each video uploaded, going as far as tearing apart phones to monitor the actual power consumption, love the animation on the graphs and how they were presented, hiding/dimming lines while highlighting other lines to compare was very easy to follow.

It gives so much insight about the technical aspects of these modern SoCs

I'm feeling guilty being able to watch this for free...
Is there other ways we can support your channel? Besides sharing these videos and subscribing?

[Skilstriker]

Imagine other youtubers are just reading out the specs and this guy bringing us the real stuff. Really appreciate the effort put into this video, keep em coming the good stuff....🤤

[TheIndulgers]

PLEASE do an A16 and G2 Tensor update. Love these videos. You guys go well beyond others on this platform.

[balajielumalai]

Been an year ago, need a new video on the current released/about to release flagships 😂. Please try to mention a best chipset that keeps up with the price to performance ratio and also offers better battery efficiency

[Luis-zxkn]

The dimensity 8100 really is an underdog when it comes to chips in smartphones, wow! Also, keep it up with the content, every video is packed with amazing information and honestly 20 min long videos doesn't feel that boring!

[Navierstokes]

You are setting a new standard for reviews and techtubers. Concise, intelligent commentary and good visual representation of your data.

[xDefcon]

This video is what was missing on this platform about benchmarks and performance. Kudos to you!

[StrengthScholar]

This is the definitive video on mobile CPUs. Truly amazing work.
The information, graphics and delivery was literally the best I've ever seen.

Subbed and rung the bell

[blazer]

this was so refreshing to watch. I rather watch this than those useless unboxing/first look/ comparison / "high production" phone reviews. Keep up the amazing work. You guys really are coming up with unique ways to test and give viewers useful information with your data.

[Barowiec]

I did not belive it would be possible to make such tests. Phones are very limited in these aspects. But these guys did it. Respect.

[johnpalmovis]

First off, thank you for this video! It's simply put exceptional! Now that you mostly have all the data, could you guys make another video focusing even more on the single-threaded performance of the cores and their comparisons? The reasoning for that is that outside of games the single-threaded performance is what users mostly notice – the startup times of apps, the speed of most foreground apps in use, the speed of switching apps etc. You communicated well in this video the importance of multi-threaded performance for battery life and (well-optimized) games. Outside of games, however, the user experience of the phones is still, and arguably always will be, largely determined by the single core performance (given that the GPU is at least OK and there are more than ~2 cores). And one thing which is different in that context is that the peak performance does matter, because the full turbo of a single core is not unusual, but it is kept very brief in the sake of thermals and battery-life.

[AdubyX]

Impeccable review! The consistency, reliability and straight to the point aspects make for a format that makes me want to watch the entire thing! Ever since the first video dropped and I immediately subscribed to your channel.

Kudos to your team for the impressively thorough and Buyer conscious transparent reviews and I hope you continue to be driven with passion and love to continue making content unparallel with any other reviewer I have ever seen on this platform!

10/10 would recommend.
