Which ones? And how were they better?
- throwaway4good 6y agoIn general better bang for the buck; though a bit hard to see as they used exclusively in Huawei phones. The Huawei P30 pro e.g. was a flagship model sold for considerable less than the corresponding Samsung or Apple phones in Europe. No doubt in my mind that had it not been for the sanctions Huawei would be the top selling mobile phone brand even eating into Apple's highend market. This page lists some of the chips made Huawei: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiSilicon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiSilicon There are some rumours that Samsung will start to manufacture their chips but the most interesting stuff will happen when mainland Chinese fabs become good enough at highend manufacturing. Then China will probably return the favour and start to ban American chips from the Chinese market.

However, there are other factors to consider such as power efficiency where the Kirin 9000 already does excellently well as shown in our review video. So until there is an in-depth device-to-device comparison, we can’t say which chipset is the clear winner."
