16:45:46 <hyc> new phone I ordered back in February finally arrived. $240, 8GB RAM Mediatek Helios P70 SOC
16:46:19 <hyc> Elephone U3H
16:53:09 <hyc> will benchmark it once it's done charging
16:54:19 <hyc> Marvell bought ASIC division off Global Foundries https://semiaccurate.com/2020/07/23/marvell-outs-their-new-custom-asic-division/
16:54:39 <hyc> they've got quite a huge library of IP
16:56:19 <gethh> i got S20 with exynox and i regret that decision very much
16:57:07 <gethh> this is beyond crap, it can not hold 4G connectivity due to thermal issues and i've learned how bad samsung service is
16:57:21 <gethh> they literally are scamming customers
16:57:43 <sethsimmons> Unfortunately you got their worst Exynos release in years
16:58:04 <sethsimmons> They have at least held parity with Qualcomm for some time, but seem to have fallen behind and hit some rough limits
16:59:00 <gethh> sethsimmons yup, but you would expect at least any care for borken phone, I am now in third repair attempt , every time they say "it pass they factory test"
16:59:32 <gethh> they have good products in general i must admit , but if you happen not to be lucky (or stupid like me) then you're screwed
16:59:49 <sethsimmons> Yeah, they definitely should own up to those mistakes :/
17:00:00 <hyc> meaing all S20 sucks, or you just got a lemon?
17:00:12 <gethh> hyc samsung sux
17:01:28 <hyc> too bad. I've never bought any. have had pretty good experience with Huawei so far
17:01:33 <gethh> fortunately I have a means to hurt them more than they think is possible
17:02:24 <hyc> Way back when they first hit the scene, I really wanted a Galaxy S Pro because it had a good keyboard, but I went with Moto Droid instead
17:02:50 <hyc> Droid 4 had a pretty good keyboard
17:05:45 <gethh> my S20 was working with 2G, had problems with 3GB, not working with LTE at all, did not try 5g
17:06:01 <gethh> exynox = total failure
17:06:06 <hyc> a shame
17:06:20 <hyc> can't imagine them messing up 3G or 4G
17:06:36 <gethh> yup S10 works perfectly
