STOP Believing Golden Reviewers' Test results
Golden Reviewer tests smartphone SoCs efficiency, performance etc similar to Geekerwan and publications like AnandTech
But his test results are FLAWED
Some (mostly Snapdragon fanbois & Exynos haters) blindly trust his test scores
Those even believe that the Snapdragon 888 & 8 Gen1 is a "heater chip" because of Samsung.
In reality, Qualcomm chose it for more profits despite knowing it got just 35% yield
In his Specint06 test for Big cores, he found out that the E2400 is power hungry than SD 8Gen3 or MTK D9300
But in his results, E2400 when compared with SD8 Gen 3 & D9300, the score difference is less than 10%, but the power consumption differs by 40% or higher ???
Golden Reviewer previously found out that the Apple A15 CPU is less efficient than A14 CPU which was the opposite of AnandTech's findings
In reality, Golden Reviewer's testing method only was wrong.
Better believe AnandTech & Geekerwan figures as they are reliable

The Base Model of the OnePlus 12R comes with UFS 3.1 storage
OnePlus 12R in India and USA comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage in its base model
In Europe and China, OnePlus 12R comes in a 256GB storage variant only with 16GB RAM
Since Micron UFS 4.0 tech does NOT support 128GB storage, thus the OnePlus 12R base model also supports UFS 3.1 storage only
That's why, the 256GB storage variant of OnePlus 12R supports faster UFS 4.0 storage

FYI to custom kernel users who are suddenly failing device attestation in Play Integrity
The cause appears to be that Google has blacklisted certain strings from kernel version names (case insensitively).
The reason my kernel fails Play Integrity device attestation right now is because Google blacklisted my name from the kernel version string:
Other kernels which are affected by the Play Integrity change are likely also on Google's kernel version string blacklist.

BREAKING: Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Benchmarks scores LEAKED!
Source
The upcoming Snapdragon 8 gen 4 will use Nuvia-based Phoenix instead of ARM cores.
Since Apple and Nuvia both use ARM Instruction Set but not the arm cores Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will also be fully custom like the Apple A-series chips
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU:
2× Nuvia Phoenix large
6× Nuvia Phoenix Medium
Manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm process (N3B)
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Geekbench 6 scores
Single-core: 2845
Multi-core: 10625
AnTuTu scores: 3133570
These have been "leaked" because you can see Geekbench 6.1 "Corporate" for the Android version
Also, it says "qli Lahaina for nuvia" which means that its based on Lahaina.
In other words, It's tested on Lahaina with Nuvia chiplets
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is also rumoured to run at 4GHz even!
However, the power consumption is concerning
Big Core: 5.47W
Double Big Core: 9.32W
Little Core: 1.1W
Total power consumption= 14.2W

BREAKING: MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Benchmarks scores LEAKED!

Its been reported that Arm’s upcoming CPU codenamed "Blackhawk", likely the Cortex-X5 CPU, could be the most powerful smartphone CPU around
The upcoming MediaTek Dimesnity 9400 will use "Three" Cortex-X5 ARM cores unlike Snapdragon which will use Nuvia cores
Dimensity 9400 CPU:
3x Cortex X5
5x Cortex-A720
Dimensity 9300 consists of "Four" Cortex-X4 CPU, but with Dimensity 9400, MediaTek reduced it to three for better efficiency & less heating
GeekBench 6.1 Corporate for Android
Single-core: 2776
Multi-core: 11739
AnTuTu: 3449366
Previously, DCS said that MediaTek Dimensity 9400 will outperform Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in ALL aspects & now the leaked benchmarks confirms the same as well
However, its rumoured that MediaTek engineers internally are saying that there will be power consumption issues.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will also be power hungry
Anyways, there are still 9~10 months left for both the SoCs to get released.

The Samsung Foundry is BACK!
Samsung's "Dream Team" consisting of 1000 employees carefully selected are developing the 'Dream Chip', likely the Exynos 2500
This Dream Team is independent & different from Exynos Team even
Exynos 2500 chipset size might be the biggest one yet & will possibly leverage 3 strategic partnerships:
ARM for custom CPU
AMD for custom GPU
Google for custom AI TPU 👀
Exynos 2500 will also feature the ARM's most powerful rumored CPU — 'Blackhawk'.
It will manufactured over Samsung's 3nm node with GAA architecture.
Samsung will debut two more new 3nm chips
Exynos 2490 will power the "budget" Samsung flip and Samsung Fold devices
It will be MORE efficient than Exynos 2400 even
Exynos W940 processor will power the Galaxy Watch 7
BONUS: Qualcomm will shift back to Samsung Foundry for its Next-Gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 for Galaxy SoC.
It will be built over 2nm process (SF2) scheduled to debut in 2025
Apple is set to use 2nm chips in 2026

MOST Honest Camera Comparison Ever
Since Realme equipped the 12 Pro Plus with a 64MP 3x Periscope Telephoto with 120x Zoom, the company thinks that it Realme 12 Pro Plus is a flagship device now
They noted that the 200MP Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is their main competitor but they even got the balls to compare it with S23 Ultra & even the iPhone 15 Pro Max
But they forgot that "so-called flagship" Realme 12 Pro+ also features:
USB 2.0
2 Android OS upgrade
LPDDR4X RAM
upto 12GB "Virtual" RAM
Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 which is WORSE than Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 even

POCO
Nothing

HOT TAKE: YouTube Reviewers are Digital Beggars
Mostly all Youtubers who review smartphones are paid by brands. Once the brand stops paying them, then they just start hating that brand only
This shows that their "honest" opinion of the device comes after the brand STOPS sponsoring them.
BEFORE that, all their reviews are just paid and biased
They'll recommend you to buy that specific smartphone with your hard-earned money till the time they are receiving FREE units from the brand
Once brand stop, they will start saying all the cons related to that smartphone
Its easy to identify which reviews are paid.
if the youtubers puts up the initial impressions or reviews "before" the smartphone sales starts, then it means the youtuber got it from that brand instead of using his own money to purchase it
That's why, if you really want to know about a product before purchasing it, just ask about it in their telegram groups because people there used their own money to bought that product
