94 TECH ADVISOR • JANUARY 2020BUYING GUIDE
Geekbench 4add to the price we’re more than happy to not have it.
Maybe one for Mi 10.Performance
In the smartphone world there are really just a handful
of processors sitting at the top of the pile. Apple’s A12
Bionic leads the group in terms of synthetic benchmark
performance, and is followed by the Kirin 980 used
by Huawei and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 that
is used by just about every other flagship phone on
the market. All three are 7nm processors, and all three
produce a level of performance with which no-one
could reasonably find fault.
(Samsung also has its own processors, with the
Exynos 9820 found in the UK version of the Galaxy
S10. And then there’s MediaTek, but its cheaper
chips are in a different league.)94 TECH ADVISOR • JANUARY 2020BUYING GUIDE
