Many are still waiting to get their hands on the OnePlus One, which happens to be the first phone from China based phone maker OnePlus. The phone was announced in April of 2014, and made quite a mark thanks to a rather unorthodox marketing strategy, and simply, by being a good phone.
However, the OnePlus 2 is around the corner… or it was, until now. It turns out that OnePlus will delay the launch of this phone by a few months, and it’ll only come out by the third quarter. Those of you who have been following OnePlus will be reminded of the first few months since the launch of the OnePlus One, when it was virtually impossible to get your hands on one. OnePlus will hope for things to be different this time around, since the company has a fair idea of how the market is going to react.

While there’s no clear reason behind the delay, one can’t help but imagine that it’s the overheating problems that the Snapdragon 810 is suffering that is causing the delay. What that also means is that the OnePlus 2 will be quite a powerhouse, but with competition such as the Xiaomi Mi Note already out in the wild.
I fully support what you said. Mediatek MT6795 should be quite a contender against the SD810. They should use that and not delay their production.
I hope that is just a joke. Lesser memory speed, 14,9 GB/s instead of 25,6 GB/s, 1,2 times slower graphic unit processor.
You wont even feel the impact of the slower memory bandwidth thourouput. In fact, you dont need 25.6GB/s DDR4 memories on phones. Even 12.8GB/s is more than any smartphone will ever need. These are not desktops and workstations that are used for astronomical calculations or heavy-duty 3D graphic modeling and animations. They are smart”PHONES” … nothing more. Plus even if the GPU is slower, its more than enough for any graphic requirements for any games or graphic app. So, the extra is not really needed.
All these hyping and theoretical numbers are just for advert and hyping purposes and also for bragging rights. In real world usage, they dont make any difference.
Besides, MT6795 is really future proved too. Lets wait and see the GPU Mediatek comes up with before we conclude.
They already told you it’s way weaker than sd810 in may ways but I’ll also add that it is 28nm, unlike the snapdragon which is made in 20nm process. That should make a difference too.
In what “MANY” ways is the MT6795 “WEAKER” than the SD810? I’d like you to outline all of them to convince me. I don’t see the SD810 being any stronger than the MT6795 in real world usage.
Oh and yea about the Process Technology, SD810 is built on the 20nm process which is supposed reduce power consumption and increase performance. How come the reverse is the case? There is heavy power consumption evident in the overheating of the SoC and have you looked at the benchmarks of the SD810? They are crappy for its level. Let’s wait for the MT6795 phones to come alife and decide which one is weaker than the other. Qualcomm said their SD615 will be better than the MT6752 but we all know what happened afterwards.
So, like I said, lets forget about theoretical numbers and focus on realism here guys.
Most of the time numbers translate into real life practice, and if it doesn’t there’s some number or data that you missed. While it seems true that 6795 will run at a higher peak fecuency than the snapdragon 810 and that’s why it should have better cpu performance, the qualcomm’s chip gpu will be way bigger and higher performing than mediatek’s. Also, the sd810 will have no doubt better connectivity (lte cat 4 vs cat 9) and the differences in memory bandwidth are there too. However, it is maybe too son to compare, let’s wait and see them in real usage.
nope nope nope, i’m won’t support a mediatek chipset as replacement, newest intel cherry trail or baytrail is proper subtitute, it’s already available and more superior than any 64 bit mediatek.
Thats a good one. I didnt think of the Intel SoCs. Those are bulldozers so to say. They will definitely be a good if not better replacements.
