Because you're running an emulator on a damnd phone!! A PHONE! Wild!
- outworlder 5y agoPhones have more processing power than laptops from just a few years ago. People aren't exaggerating when they call them pocket supercomputers.
- LeSaucy 5y agoThe series 7 Apple Watch has a higher resolution display than the original iPhone.
- nyanpasu64 5y agoThe PinePhone processor and GPU are pathetic. It's not the phone people mean when they say phones are comparable in power to laptops.
- edoceo 5y agoUp thread some person is running and emulator/container with some not-lightweight software in it! On the Pine! Maybe "pathetic" is not the right word. It's more powerful than my first laptop (I think the comparison there is phones-now to laptops-back-then)
- nyanpasu64 5y ago> Performance is quite comparable to Anbox on the same device. I had a PinePhone. The performance of Anbox on it was slow, and apps were rendered at a low resolution and scaled up using bilinear scaling. And I had to configure zram/zswap (which was a good idea regardless of using Anbox or not), because otherwise the 1 gigabyte of RAM wasn't enough to fit Linux and Anbox, and Anbox would terminate from merely poking around in the settings app and trying to login to MicroG or something. I hope that the scaling (and performance?) is fixed in Anbox, and that Waydroid performs faster than Anbox and uses less RAM. But I no longer have a functioning PinePhone to test further on. I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG0uAQqeqW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG0uAQqeqW4. Scrolling through the recent apps list has both a high latency and low frame rate (and PinePhone-native UIs like GTK Phosh and Plasma Mobile are not really better). And the gameplay had 150 or more milliseconds of latency between touch input and the screen responding, which is awful. > It's more powerful than my first laptop This speaks to how unoptimized and GPU-dependent today's software is (Xfce on a dual-core ULV Intel-based laptop from 2016 is more responsive than KDE Plasma on that laptop or a Zen 3 desktop PC, admittedly with a crappy GPU), and perhaps how today's screens are higher-resolution than old laptops. > I think the comparison there is phones-now to laptops-back-then The comparison is with "laptops from just a few years ago". My old laptop runs circles around my PinePhone, though I won't say it's better than good phones of today.
- scns 5y agoMost phones don't have iPhone class CPUs.
- CameronNemo 5y agoWell it is a container rather than an emulator. Maybe some parts are emulated, like opengl, but I believe waydroid is a lot "closer to the metal" than anbox is.
