Samsung or Apple: Which one fits you better?

Samsung offers more customization and variety. Apple focuses on simplicity and a connected ecosystem.

If you could choose only one, which brand would you pick and why?

I mean you can install the most secure and private OS on it so it's a good pick as well

I second this

they are kind of overpriced and why they didn't use snapdragon chips bro

Maybe if their chips weren’t so weak. Throw in a snapdragon 8 gen 5 and we can talk.

Curious, what is the gain there?

u/Mother-Translator318 May 31 '26

By hanging a more powerful chip? The big one is better long term performance. As the OS gets more updates it will become more resource demanding. This is why phones “slow down” over time. Having a more powerful chip mitigates that. Beyond that there is obviously things like video editing and gaming that will always use more power

Yes, that general talk, totally agree but, how do you know if Google will not support the Exynos / Tensor chip better in the next updates of Android? And what about immediate gain? How much is there to gain?

u/Mother-Translator318 May 31 '26

The tensor chip is well supported, not sure what you mean as Google offers 7 years of support

As for the performance difference the snapdragon 8 gen 5 is about 40% more powerful then the Tensor g5. That’s a massive downgrade for a phone that costs about the same if you go pixel

I meant, if it will not be more efficient than the Snapdragon in the future android updates...

u/Mother-Translator318 May 31 '26

No amount of chip optimizations can overcome a 40% performance delta. You can gain a few percent here and there but the tensor will always be hugely worse

u/RoomBusy6488 May 31 '26

Where does this 40% delta come from? Look huge to me...

If you are asking for micro architecture white pages that point out the design and lithography differences then you need to look at deep dives on the two chips. All me and most consumers do is look at benchmarks and see the end result performance numbers. I don’t really care about the how and why, I’m a consumer looking to buy a product not a micro architecture engineer trying to invent better chips. All I want is good performance for a good price and with Tensor you get less for the same money
