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.

No motherboard issue in mi11x after warranty ending?
