I don’t get this benchmark stuff for phones unless you do gaming with them i guess. I have used recently a Nothing Phone 2a for a few weeks and it works far better and smoother for everyday use than my Galaxy S22 despite having a chip that is supposedly 50% worse. In the end is the OS what makes the difference not the SoC.
The S22 US version used snapdragon 8 gen 1 (in the US) and the chip was prone to performance issues. It worked, but it was rough, ran hot, and ate power for lunch. I’m not sure if that was a year that the international variants had an Exynos, but their performance is generally worse.
So seeing a simpler phone with basic android seem to do fine versus a flagship with super bloated Android on a first gen apps processor makes a lot of sense, really.
