A16 vs Snapdragon 8 Gen2: Who's The Best Smartphone Chip? 

This channel gives me exactly what I want from performance tests on phones, taking it to new level of "performance". I feel so satisfied

Hands down the best phone performance reviewer on the platform, most people will just say who cares about performance on a phone and just move on and show camera tests and what not, but you do the things that the others skip, a huge thanks to you.

Never thought, I would be able to see so much details comparisons between many mobile SoCs before. Your content is extremely details and easy to follow with conclusive arguments. It is just a bliss to watch your contents, you deserve to get more like and subs guys!

This is just insane how much care/work you guys put on those videos. Hats down for all the team. That’s my number one go to channel from now on.

Bro this channels breakdown of the A16 bionic vs the A15 was THE BEST. I loved how you explained in detail the differences between the 2 processors. It's a far cry from other youtube channels who just put 2 phones side to side and open some apps as if that helps my hunger for under the hood knowledge. Thank you for this, you guys rock!

Just a bliss to watch such a high quality video, haven't skipped single second.

I found myself constantly rewinding parts of the video because it's overflowing with information I couldn't absorb them in one viewing. Good job!

Just can't wait for your next videos. Keep them coming. Excelent work.

How about making a video about maxing out battery performance by underclocking, debloating, optimizing etc., while still not turning it into a dumbphone. Given how in-depth you guys go, it would be awesome. Plus, I'm sure that is a very relevant topic for most people. I would love to see it!

Hope your channel blows up this year. You guys are like the Digital Foundry of smartphone SoCs and I'm very here for it!

I was actually genuinely happy after watching your video. It contains a lot of nerdy stuff while still being fun, other big channels would have lost me as they get more technical. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and please do not degrade your quality once you get bigger cause you'll obviously get bigger. Love from Nigeria

GREAT vlog! You have now one new folower! Beautiful work, mate!

This is what I love about Geekerwan, the testing is going up to the roof of the SoC performance limit, even I'm surprised by how well it runs the most demanding game without a sweat, altough with a thermal that could burn your hand lol

What a great analysis! This channel deserves a lot more recognition. Keep up the good work. :)

I swear despite being a 22min long video, quality in making this is just superb all the way to the end. Keep up the good work!

This video is amazing! Well done & thank you.

Qualcomm just proved why people use their chips this level of improvement in 6 months. The red magic is now more powerful than my pc. This is just insane.

I love the power efficiency and overclocking videos. I wish there were more content covering these for phones

Super. May there be more such comparisons. Delving into the smallest changes.... I can't imagine how much time you must have spent on this. Thanks.

Well done. You actually explain stuff in your videos and do an excellent job. Very fun to watch.

Wow! Absolutely impressive quality content. Your CPU-tests are on another level. Please keep it up.

Great video , I usually don't track SoC reviews, but really enjoyed this one. Keep it up

Really informative, loved the video! Thanks for the great work!

I hope you continue like this with this amazing channel SERIOUSLY what a great channel !

I won't lie, I've been waiting for this video since the last SoC showdown. The hard work and attention to detail preparing these tests is simply astonishing. I was surprised to find the rather minimal improvements of the A16 over the A15. I think I'll be just fine with my 13 Pro Max for quite a while.

Amazing quality of work and research done here. Well done!

Wow! A complete, detailed (technical) and excellent presentation of a comparison. I mean this is an all-in-one comparison. Of course, I am now a subscriber of this channel. Worth the 23ish minutes of viewing and listening.

Excellent research and very well presented. Thank-you!

Wow... those are some seriously impressive results from the 8 Gen 2. It's nice for Android OEM's to finally put some pressure on Apple, competition is good for everyone!

How many times have I watched this video? More than I'm comfortable sharing. Please keep up this quality of work. It's so refreshing to see such detailed numbers and how they translate to an average person.

This channel's every single is super super super informative. Something that absolutely NO other channel does. I'm grateful to have come across this channel.

Really great content and presentation, love that this channel exists!

This is some quality testing. Thank you for putting this together

You are such an underrated man i just like your videos and how you explain.👌🔥

The quality of the analytics is mind-blowing! Well-done on the video 🙏🏻

Awsome , percise and comprehensive review! Your channel is exactly what i was looking for! ❤

I absolutely love your reviews, noone else does them this in depth and still fun. Keep on going!

I love the higher render resolution test. Thank you for the results with all the efficiency tests. Not gonna upgrade from my S22U but I'll get a 8gen3 flagship in the next year. Keep doing what you're doing, awesome channel with truly useful content.

Man, your videos are very underrated... you are a person full of fun. Thank you for these wonderful insights

The best video on the camparison of phones soc on RU-vid. Every second of it along with your energy was amazing to watch.

Your videos are so detailed and amazing 🔥👌

I appreciate the extra lengths you go to show us real data with analysis unlike other so called reviewers who try to fob us off with fancy B-roll and simply go through the spec sheet. Bravo Sir

man, your enthusiasm has earned you a sub. so much fun to watch this review will have to watch some of your previous videos just to enjoy! would love to listen to you and flossy do a review together. would be epic!

This is crazy good. I have no more questions to ask. It is Perfect. The best comparison I have ever seen. I usually watch from a different browser without logging in, I switched apps, found the video again to leave this comment and subscribe.

This was an astonishing amount of detail to digest. Didn't love any channel so much in recent years ❤️

Very very informative man one of the best detail review i ever seen😀👍🔥

Please keep doing what you're doing I love this channel!! ❤️

We need your videos out faster. You're the only reviewer who actually test these chips, everyone else are lazy like MBKHD just runs geek bench and ignores everything else

Last upload was 4 months ago, But this was definitely worth it ✨ This is how it should be done. Appreciate all your hard work!!

I haven't subbed to a channel intentionally in 5 or so years, thanks for being worth it! Amazing content, gave me Hardware Unboxed/Gamers Nexus type of content for phones =)

Awesome breakdown, can’t wait for the same quality video on the S23 Ultras own Gen2 SoC

Can't wait to see your S23 Ultra vs 14 Pro Max performance test! Instantly subscribed, your content is peak!

honestly this is the reason I like your channel you take things to the max leve instead of stopping at that the company offers

Thank you for your detail informations in this video, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Now I clearly understand the different between those 2 CPU

Great job! Thank for the in-depth analysis!

I really don't mind waiting. It's not like new hardwares are launching every week. But every video you always deliver.

as usual, the quality of the test and presentation is always top quality. less video releases but the quality always peak. 👏

Amazing vid and channel, thanks for your hard work!

yo your youtube channel has got me wanting more and more content , love it bro keep it up 👍

I've never seen a phone performance review channel like this before, truly impressive and informative. Thank you for going above and beyond to deliver the best content out there.

Excellent test, good job all around and impressive showing by Qualcomm!

Awesome content. Time to update the comparison with the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (S23 series).

This is the best channel of RU-vid, thanks for your work 🎉

You guys have the best testing methodology (and depth) of any tech channel, hands down. Seriously doing the lord's work. Wish you posted more content in english!

You've got some really nice videos, i really liked the one with overclocking the mi 9 phone, making it a proper gaming one

Damn, NICE WORK?! 👍 *I’m a first time viewer and I just had to sub* because I can appreciate *how tedious it must have been to run all these benchmarks!* As an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, I feel somewhat vindicated in taking a pass on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It seems that the rumors of Apple engineers dropping the ball on A16’s GPU design are more truth than rumor. Apparently, Apple intended to add raytracing to A16’s GPU cores, but they simply couldn’t manage the thermal envelope presented by iPhone’s cooling solutions. Early iPhone 14 Pro leaks suggested that Apple would use a heat pipe for the first time, but no heat pipes were found once the iPhone 14 Pro began shipping. It seems as if quite a few of those early iPhone 14 leaks were eventually abandoned once Apple decided to fall back to use the previous GPU designs used by A15, along with Apple recycling the previous years’s SOC for the very first time in Apple iPhone’s history. It appears that Qualcomm has made significant improvements with Gen 2, catching up and even exceeding Apple’s A16 with the addition of hardware-based RT functionality. No one was aware of Gen 2’s feature set when Apple announced iPhone 14 and it clearly benefited Apple who had missed their internal features target with A16. It will be very interesting to see how Apple responds with A17, assuming Apple continues to develop new SOC’s annually? I think the story behind A16 is likely far more horrific than Apple has revealed publicly. The fact that Apple was able to salvage A16 despite their A16 GPU failure is a testament to the effectiveness of their marketing. iPhone 14 sales are still dismal, but Apple was never forced to reconcile an entire year lost to a poor GPU design. It’s inexplicable that despite higher clocks, significantly higher memory bandwidth and even a die shrink have resulted in completely average performance and efficiency bumps for A16. Lastly, what is up with MediaTek Dimensity 9200 and when will it ship in quantity?! I don’t know who’s working on MT’s GPU design, but their GPUs appear to be screaming fast?! MediaTek SOCs are often the choice for budget Android gaming handhelds coming out of China and I *cannot wait* to see some products based upon D9200 to arrive in US in Q3 or Q4 of 2023. With 10-core CPUs leveraging fast DDR5, we’re going to need some fast GPUs to get the most from all those cores.

He’s back! After 4 months 🎉

this channel truly stands firm on its name, you argue on actual data, facts, testing, technicality, you discuss the tech, no youtuber matches this

Awesome review. Very different but wonderful comparison.

Thanks Yunfei, a very impresive video and test.

The fact you tested in Sumeru city instead of Mondstadt as most other reviewers who showcase the game only in Mondstadt with the base team truly showed the raw power of this Soc, I'm looking forward to the release of the S23 ultra where hopefully the performance will be even better!

Hopefully they keep doing it next year, I'm excited to see you test the S23, small, plus and ultra

Thank you for your hard works. Top grade quality video!

one of the most underrated tech channels rn

Would love another custom gaming phone with the SD 8 gen 2 chip. Please make it happen 🙏🏻😁

Insane content! I wonder how far you can push the Red Magic maybe with Alien Isolation fully maxed out and maybe Grid Autosport

This is an extremely good review!! Those graphs and comparisons, exactly what I was looking for!! Thank You!! Please keep this up :)

Please continue what you doin, very detailed review, thumbs up, 👍😊

Guys, this is insane content! Watching in my 8gen1 air fryer...

Great video. It would be cool to see numbered rankings of the chipsets in terms of performance levels at lower power levels since the chart contains lots of curves that it makes it harder to understand.

Awesome job bro, i never saw this perfect comparison of SD vs BIONIC, that's what we exactly want to know, I'm looking forward to seeing your best smartphone with 8 gen 2 comparison video

very beautifully done, I love this kind of content, would love to see how the A17 compared to the rest.

A genuinely impressive chip, and an even more impressive review! Please keep up the amazing level of details in testing!

Why’s this channel sooo underrated ?? Tbh it’s surprising, this is my first time watching a video from it but…. Lol I subscribed in the first minute 😂

You guys need to upload more of your content.... Seen all your videos so many times.

Love the detailed review as always. The only youtuber that reviews the smartphone chips as intricate as my head needed haha.

Dont even have to watch the full video. Just the explanation of the intricacy and overall methodology of measuring the SoC’s explained is enough to deserve a like. No other YT channel like you guys do it❤

Man you’re so underrated, the video is so damn informative. You actually put in the work, unlike other RU-vidrs who just “reviews”

What an amazing video! Another level of comparison

Geekerwan has taken RU-vid's technology category videos to an unprecedented new level. GOOD JOB

I waited so long for your video!

that genshin impact test methodology was perfect. you really know what you're doing. that's the second most demanding place in the game, the other one being the cave part of the port city in sumeru, but that would make for a very short route.

This is what I call a review. Your content puts big RU-vid tech channels with millions of subscribers to shame.

Your channel and tests are amazing!

very clear and nice video, thank you.

That's the most detailed review on the socs. Suddenly I feel way more geekier than I was 30 min back. Thanks for such awesome content ❤️

Finally what we were waiting for❣️

A solid review and genuine explanation ... Wow man great content .. very hard working person .. thank uou

I simply love this channel man ❤️. So much effort, to make most informative video, take a bow. Only thing I hope, if there was less time gap between videos. 😁

I love the aesthetics and effort put into those performance and power consumption curves!
