They complain so much about CPU performance, comparing every Snapdragon chip to the Apple A17 bla bla bla. In the real world, who uses these much power in a chip anyway? Heck, even midrange chips nowadays are very much capable.

    Watch the heavy workload battle by “in depth tech reviews” on youtube. It’s a more practical, real-world comparison between S23U/15PM/Pixel 8 (there’s another vid with 14PM & pixel 7 as well).

    And the S23U absolutely claps the iPhone. Really put the holier-than-thou A16/A17 in its place.

    To your point though, power users often multitask with 3 or more apps. Heavy gamers use emulators. Both of these can actually cause even flagship processors to sweat. In that respect, the S23U & Z5 are the most powerful phones ever made.

      This. I’m on a z fold 3 a still and I use this and my iPad pro 2021 every single day for work.

      My phone can handle much more than my iPad before it starts little freezes and jitters.

      I often have 4 or 5 apps open on the screen. 2 open and 2 or 3 in floating icons/pop up windows.

      My iPad can’t handle this much stuff going on at once. Heck if I close an app and go to something else it stops doing what it was doing. I have to keep the app open until it’s done. On my phone I can start something, go do something else and come back and it’s done.

      And apple won’t even give us a proper mouse pointer when using a keyboard. It’s a ridiculous circle.
