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.

Specs comparison: Honor Play 8A vs Honor 8X

The Honor 8A has been the talk of the town for quite a period of time. The phone was leaked on TENNA earlier then revealed on the Chinese website called Weibo. Finally, the smartphone got launched in China last week with a MediaTek chipset. On the other hand, the Honor 8X is another mid-range segment device by the company that is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor. We are comparing these two smartphones to see which one will be the right choice in terms of specifications? The Honor Play 8A sports a 6.03-inch display that offers a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the Honor 8X features a slightly bigger 6.05-inch display that comes with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The Honor Play 8A has a water-drop notch on top of it, which houses the front-facing camera, while the Honor 8X has a traditional notch. Coming to the processor, the Honor 8X is powered by a Kirin 710 octa-core processor, which is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory. On the other hand, the Hono

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

Face unlock easily defeated with photo in over 30 smartphone models

We’ve seen a resurgence in face unlock across the mobile industry, arguably due to Apple’s iPhone X touting the technology. Unfortunately, a new study shows that plenty of phones can be defeated with a simple photo. The Dutch Consumentenbond organization found that out of 110 devices tested, 42 could be unlocked with a high quality photo of the owner (h/t: The Register ). To be fair, the organization counted regional and dual-SIM variants as separate models in its testing, so the real number of dodgy devices is actually in the 30s. Nevertheless, this still represents a massive number of devices that are vulnerable to a simple photo. The list wasn’t restricted to a few manufacturers either, as the likes of Alcatel , BlackBerry , Huawei , Lenovo , Nokia , Sony , and Xiaomi were all featured here. Most of these phones were budget devices, but we also have a few flagships affected by shoddy face unlock. These devices include the HTC U11 Plus , the Huawei P20 Pro , and Sony’s Xper
