Unrelated but god do I love my SD 865 phone (Samsung S20 FE), not only was it as efficient as it’s successors like SD 870, 888, 8 Gen 1, it was also rare to find as Samsung was putting Exynos chips instead of Snapdragon on my country, my desktop PC CPU is TSMC 7nm, my phone soc is TSMC 7nm, my laptop cpu is also TSMC 7nm. I love TSMC 7nm and I love materialism :D
given how bad is SD 888, 8 Gen 1(samsung ver.) I am actually surprise qualcomm didnt port the 870 to TSMC 6nm call it 875. With 6nm that chip can push another step further b4 moving to 5nm/4nm.
similarly unrelated, I liked my sd870 (it’s almost the same as a 865) which was stolen so i replaced it with the exynos 1280 which i thought would be similar having newer cores and a better node, but no it’s slower and drains battery much faster.
865 / 870 were the last good chips from Snapdragon / ARM.
I went back to using my Mi 11x (Cheap Snapdragon 870, which I got for $240 back in 2020) and it STILL has more battery life than my 1 year old Moto Edge 30 Pro (8gen1, $420)
No, they weren’t. Snap 8+G1, 8G2, 8G3 and 7+G2 are just as fantastic, if not better than 865/870. They’re so fast that 865 is basically a mid-range SoC in performance now.
Same. I mail forwarded my S20 FE to get the Snapdragon version. Works perfectly. Doesn’t get hot, lasts long. A very well balanced device overall. I like my ‘cheap’ plastic back and the flat screen too. :-)

No motherboard issue in mi11x after warranty ending?
