I did a power analysis of exynos990, it's worrying

So as Anandtech tested the specint/fp of Snapdragon 865.

I tested specint for exynos990

The results are very worrying. Score is 31(compared to 33+ for 865), power draw is staggering 3.8w(4.2w system total power-0.4w idle power).

So the if we compare the exynosM5 in exynos99 to the A77 cores in 865, M5 is 10% slower while drawing more than double power.

No wonder my exynos s20+ heats up easily and has miserable battery life...

My experience with the S20 Ultra

**Some background about myself:** I've been using Android for more than 8 years now with the occasional iPhone here and there (most recent 11 Pro Max). The newest Androids I own are the S10+, One Plus 7 Pro, and the Pixel 3XL (tried the 4XL but ended up returning it). But introduction aside, here is why I think you should get the S20, or even the S10 instead of the Ultra.

# Camera:

I could definitely tell the differences in terms of detail compared to my S10+, Pixel, and iPhone; the zoom detai...

Certain apps not working on home WiFi (The FIX!!!)

I have a Moto G6 Play and since i've bought it i had problems with some apps not working on my home wifi but working fine with 4G/3G data and other WiFis.

I looked through multiple fixes with no luck, until today, when i started fiddling with multiple network configurations, i came across some posts about MTU and packet loss. I ran ping tests on some sites using the command prompt and discovered a huge packet loss when sending a ping packet larger than the configured MTU on my router.

So i cam...
