Anonymous, 23 Jan 2021That only makes my point more strongly. iPhone 12 Pro blitzes S21 in performance. But in real world usage they both feel similar, so for most
non-enthusiasts it doesn't really matter.

Like I said, the only thing Samsung does better is the refresh-rate.

      P C M, 23 Jan 2021I'm continuously disappointed on you. That came out of nowhere and completely caught me off guard lol. If you're feeling disappointed then feel free not to talk to me, you also don't seem to understand how IP ratings work and I don't find it comfortable explaining stuffs that are written on wiki over and over again.

          "Why did they mention IP65 too"
          Because Xperia 5 II has both the IP65 and IP68 ratings. On the other hand, most flagship phones on the market, including S21, are only qualified for the IP68 certification.

                                  P40 pro is priced around 849 Euro in Germany.

                                  You can get the S20 ultra almost the same price.

                                  Edit : My bad, We're talking about p40.
                                  It's just over 600$ in Germany, 700$ in UK. P405G cost 80$ more. That's 780$

                                      i0S...Never...Again, 23 Jan 2021Antutu is clearly not optimized for Exynos 2100 currently. You always say thing oppositely.
                                      It's Samsung's pre release software which isn't mature enough to put a good score on AnTutu, neither Geekbench.
                                      It does very well on GFX bench and Speed Test G though.
                                      Wait for the final software which will be released before the availability.
