Anonymous, 09 Nov 2020Bro, you use your phone to browse porn and Tiktok, why do you act like you need anything flags... moreWe are seeing the beginning of a trend change.
Just like desktops did, phones will start to diverge in processing power as per user needs.
We started seeing the "G" branded processors, and soon that would extend to things beyond a boost in GPU clock speed:
Think of having an Intel i7 with a integrated graphics and Intel i7 with a discrete RTX3080.
Both are flagship chipsets, but gaming on them (for those requiring it) is a night-and-day difference. System price is quite different as well.
Today, the SD765 is closer to an i5 with a 1050Ti, for example, and the SD865 is an i7 with RTX3080...
Can you really say that everyone needs an i7 with RTX3080? I don't think so
Can you not play pretty much every game out there on an i5 with GTC 1050i? of you course you could at various degrees of resolution/quality degradations.
Also, are there not premium laptops with i5s? sure thing
And thus, we are now heading into this trend, and I guess we will start seeing SD8x5 and SD8x5G processors as well as SD7x5 and SD 7x5G processors powering up phones, probably even the same phone model with just the processor/memory variations.
Apple so far is doing the opposite with keeping the same flagship chipset and downgrading the design on its various tiers, but that too I believe will soon change; but Apple will always be Apple, they will do whatever they feel like waking up in the morning and everybody will applaud and follow :D

Why would I ... moreHe is talking about the actual experience of Google Pixel phones and you are talking about chipset performance... and to be honest I agree with him, Pixel software is the best and having a bit weaker CPU won’t make a noticeable difference in performance. I personally check that and the only time when you will see a difference is in intensive gaming, but even then there will not be a big difference.

Gcam turns a midrnger camera into taking flagship grade pictures. Imagine gcam with the flagship like hardware like galaxy s20 ultras camera or the mi 10 ultra

Hell, 01 Nov 2020You probably never used one. Because if you did there is no going back to another android phonouLol okay man, it's clear you have never used a phone with flagship chipset.
Why would I downgrade from a phone with a flagship processor to a phone with mid range processor?

I chose to import the S20 from USA though, it has a better look for a girl, in my opinion. I find the Sony a bit too masculine / business. For men, a great phone :)

People who brag about stock ROM being better usually lack experience of using different Android skins (especially skins from 2020).
I have used All type of phones as daily driver in the past decade.
About 30-40 phones over a period of time, mostly flagships.
In 2020, I'll rather use one ui, miui, zen ui based Androids over stock OS which lacks latest features and is basically playing catchup.

Magnetic charger that does defeat any convenience standard Qi chargers offer, that does seriously overheat the device and restricts the charging to 80%?

Despite having a pixel 3 which runs like new, I took a look at the 5 yesterday in best buy. All I can say is Wow, it was such a clean bright, classy, feel good unit.

My favorite feature of the Google Pixel device is its look. Other than that, I am not sure about the performance.

Don't forget the suprise of 2020: the Xperia 5 ii. If have this phone for two weeks now and it ticks all the boxes. 120hz refresh rate, oled display, good camera, wide angle and zoom lens, dedicated pro camera settings like their pro camera line up, 3.5 mm jack, no punch or notch, fingerprint reader is integrated in onoff button like an airpad, 5g of course, 128gb and expandable to 1tb, Dolby Atmos, enhanced gaming experience and Snapdragon 865 / 8 RAM, and a sturdy build quality with no plastics (glass and aluminium). Not one phone on the market has this combo (that I know of). Maybe the S20 comes close but in Europe it has an exynos processor, and it lacks a 3.5 jack. The only thing it's lacking is a wireless charging option, but I personally don't care for that. All in all, the most complete phone on the market right now?

Take a look at the iphone 12 mini and the Pixel 5. Like come'on google. The iphone has a the fastest chip, better cameras, better screen, better water proofing and mag safe. I am starting to consider switching to the iphone. And remember this is coming from a user that has never used an iphone in his life.

With the Snapdragon 765G chipset, Google ended up increasing the price of the phone while also putting in a below average battery which wouldn't really go well with the whole over heating issue of the SD chipset.
