The new model’s CPU performance outperformed the Snapdragon 888, although it did not quite match up to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+, according to the same report from AnTuTu.
I think this is the most impressive part considering that the snapdragon 888 is a 5nm chip. I guess the kirin 9000s is made with SMIC n+2 process or something even more advance.
Does their app store run on Android? Then it doesn’t really matter, it’s not toppling Android because it’s using Android. Samsung has an app store too, and Motorola, guess what? They all run on Android. What you’re wanting is something like Samsung’s Tizen, which was it’s own OS outside of Android. If you are specifically calling out the Play store, then that’s a completely different scenario.
I didn’t say toppling Android. Why on earth would that be a good thing? It’s breaking Google’s control over Android, which is great.
