What page do u use to compare smartphones?

[jdjinn]

Hi,

 

After purchasing a smartphone. I felt I hadn´t done enough research. I found some pages to compare between smartphone-models and brands, but I´m still unsure if those are the best pages to analyze and compare or they are filled with just information based on comercial purposes (infomercials).

 

What pages do u use to compare between models?

 

 

p.s: When buying smartphones on internet. Which one do u use?

I just watch pocketnow and mr mobile reviews of the phone, and decide from them which is best.

for lower-end devices, I just look at the UI, specs, and maybe a written review.

the UI and specs basically tell most of the story

Stock android + good battery + good specs. = beast of a phone

Bloated android + good battery + good specs = meh phone. probably bad software updates, mediocre battery

skinned android + medium battery + midrange CPU = meh phone. probably okayish software updates, mediocre battery.

skinned android + good battery + midrange CPU = okay phone. probably okayish software updates, good battery from the midrange chipset.

As said above Gsmarena

Just gsmarena, specs can be compared, and you can do your research on how certain phones use different cpus and other things.

Just look up the specs and compare them or just ask for an opinion from an professional

Usually the professionals here are also sellers. If they notice u have not enough knowledge on smart-phones, they´ll sell u what no one else is going to buy :S.

The mild irony being Apple is pushing processing capability much more aggressively than anyone on the Android side.

Android is an "off the shelf" approach to building a phone, at least for the SoC. Very little is designed in house.

R and D is quite incredibly expensive, as was hiring the engineers that were the minds of Intel's successful Haswell series. Very few companies would be willing to take on such an investment, with the risk of a repeat of the AMD FX. This is probably actually a good thing as every company developing an in-house design would end up further fragmenting the Android ecosystem (good luck developing an app that works efficiently across a dozen different cpu designs, ).

 

To be fair, Qualcomm's Kryo design is an absolute beast in floating point, besting even it's A73-based successor (Kryo 280) by a considerable margin in this aspect (seconded only by Apple), though this capability isn't likely to see much use on the mobile platform (servers maybe?), and integer performance seems to fall somewhere between A57 and A72 levels, not nearly enough to take on Apple. Original Kryo was probably a multi-purpose architecture as opposed to a purpose-built mobile architecture.

Not sure if the Exynos processors count. To date, they’ve only been used on Samsung Galaxy products and some Meizus.
