Samsung Galaxy S10 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 beats Exynos 9820 in early benchmarks

Highlights Snapdragon variant of Galaxy S10 beats Exynos variant on PCMark 2.0 Exynos 9820 20 percent faster than Exynos 9810 Samsung, for the last few years, has insisted on shipping its flagship smartphone with two different chipsets in individual markets. While countries like the U.S. get the Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered variant, India gets the Samsung Galaxy S10 powered by the company’s own Exynos 9820 processor. AnandTech has run early benchmarks on the Snapdragon and Exynos variants of the S10 and the results are rather interesting. The benchmarks run on the two phones include PCMark 2.0 and Speedometer 2.0. Traditionally, we have seen the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S smartphones to be faster than their Exynos counterparts, and this report shows nothing different. For the most part, the Snapdragon 855 powered Samsung Galaxy S10 beats the Exynos variant by a large margin in most of PCMark’s testing parameters, including the Web Browsing, Photo Editing and even Writing 2.0 sub-tests. However, the findings reveal a more promising fact. Across all the tests, the Exynos 9820 performs significantly better than the Exynos 9810-powered S9 and Note 9. The last three generations of Samsung’s flagship Exynos chips had issues with the scheduler, which caused benchmark numbers on the chips to be lower than expected, but it appears that Samsung has fixed the problem with the new 9820 chipsets. AnandTech’s findings report a 20-percent improvement in performance on the new Exynos 9820 over the Exynos 9810, which is well within the reasonable realm of improvement. We have the Exynos variant of Samsung’s newest flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ and will be putting the phone through our revamped testing process to determine just how much of a true performance bump it offers in comparison to the previous generation flagships from Samsung.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses based on a patent from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...
