Oreo - P9 -Worth or not !?

briefly ...
After days of experience ... I have to say this is the best performance I got with P9.​
Also best performance for phone battery notes difference.​
If the feature is reached CPU TURBO It would be great and anyone with an idea or information would tell us.​
Thanks you.

P9 will not get cpu turbo. Cpu turbo goes for honor 10 p20 p20pro because they have a specific chipset for supporting the software. Maybe ab improvement on acceleration with android 8.1 but thats it for P9. Im glad u see improvements as well. I

Did Samsung made improvements to Scheduler and DVFS for Exynos 9810 in Note 9 ?

Hi,
Wanted to check if anyone got their hands on with an Exynos Note 9 and noticed any performance improvements in terms of efficiency or sustained performance.
Did they made any changes to Exynos 9810 SoC since S9+ was released?
I hope they didn't cripple it with their implementation!
Thanks in advance.

It was Anadtech who first thoroughly lab-tested and rooted out the performance/heat management/battery endurance differences bet^n the Exynos 9810 & Snapdragon 845 in the Galaxy S9.
Hence, I contacted Andrei(one who did the testing and wrote that article) and he informed that Anandtech won't be reviewing the Exynos/SD Note 9 for now, but if there's any change in the behaviour of the SoC, it'll be visible in the kernel sources and he will check that without requiring the Note 9.
Andrei is famous in these forums. Thank you for your information. I wanted to email him as well but did it for the rest of us. Lets hope they made some improvements. Else even 4000 mah wont be enough. I have pre-ordered Note 9 exynos version and sold off my s9+ back to the Samsung store guys.
Fresh article - Anandtech's deep dive into Exynos 9810's M3 cores:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/13199/hot-chips-2018-samsungs-exynosm3-cpu-architecture-deep-dive/
Update::Sad news) :
Samsung released Kernel source code of Exynos Galaxy Note 9 and Andrei was quick to check it. Sadly, he confirmed that there are no changes.

I havent had the battery issues on my exynos s9 plus that others have but i think for the note 9 im going to give the N9600 snapdragon a try. Samsung knows there is an issue here and have had ample time to correct on the s9 and damn sure on the Note 9 and to do nothing is just pure laziness

Can someone explain to me what's so bad about the implementation by Samsung?

Better to read the article where its explained in detail but the end result has been terrible battery life for many.

Samsung quietly fix what they can. But at times they're not very good at fixing when they announce and "pretend" to not have an issue officially. Including sheer laziness, what if what they have achieved in the Exynos 9810 is the "optimum one" in the heat-performance-endurance ratio ? When they didn't do it in this S9's I felt they were saving something for the next big thing - Note 9 Exynos.
..
Will be happy to know how you would feel getting one snapdragon. I thought of doing the same, but it has network comptibility issues here, so didn't.
This Antutu Stress test prove that Samsung did some "tweaks" for Exynos: more throttle, lower freqs most of time to keep it cooler, less batt drain

Dolphin emulator performance on Exynos

Hey guys.
Can someone with an Exynos Note9 test out Dolphin's performance?
As far as I can make out, previous phones with Exynos were missing important OpenGL drivers, or the kernel was out of date, or something. This caused Dolphin to really struggle.
The Snapdragon variants of devices never had this problem.
Samsung is making a big deal out of having Vulkan support, so does this improve Dolphin's performance?
Yeah some one try.
The Mali GPU has less benchmark school than even SD835 which came Last year thought.
can you answer this question about dolphin on exynos please ?

Antutu score on note 9 pie decreased

I am on n960f/ds and received a pie update yday. Overall system is so smooth but antutu gave me a shock. Went down to 220500. Feeling bad that its already behind sd845 and gone down further. Anybody else checked this?
Samsung probably forgot to include their "benchmark inflation software" to their updates lol.
Who cares? Seriously, what does a synthetic benchmark tell you that your own experiences with the device do not? You said it yourself, everything is smooth, so why even bother with benchmarking? What can you do with the info?
Benchmarks are only useful for one thing, and that's comparing one cpu/chipset to a different one. Want to know how much of an improvement you get from an older CPU to a newer one? Benchmark is great. But minor variations on the same device? Just use your phone and don't stress over the minor nonsense.
hey man, 11 > 9.
take that!

This post doesn't help much. Anyways, seems to be AUB7 with the March security update. Just performance improvements as well as camera improvements
Yes. Sorry! Good lock asked to re run it's optimizer. So far feels fine.
Actually I commented on the update for this version, as I prior had the note 20 ultra HK version (snapdragon dual sim) and it was notorious for not getting updated. Like ever. Was most frustrating. Glad to see the ultra does get the updates.

Yes is AUB7
because the SoC is completely different,Can't be compared
The kernel version number is still 20700993. It should be that the Exynos model has relatively large room for improvement and optimization. The Snapdragon model has limited room for improvement and optimization, but the initial performance is more stable than the Exynos model.
This is my long-term experience using two SoC versions of Samsung S series and Note series
However, the Exynos model encountered major problems. The optimization efficiency is improved and the speed of pushing updates will be faster than the Snapdragon model (except for the S20 / Note20 series of the Korean Snapdragon version)

I'm just curious as to what people who keep having bad battery life have running/installed in their phones. It very well could be an app problem, but I suppose that it could also just be a Exynos related problem - I just haven't seen any deeper detailed explanations of the problem.
Would you mind telling me a bit more so that I can get a full understanding of this battery usage issue? I have the SD888 version and this phone has the best battery of any device that I've ever had prior... Fill me in if you can. Thanks!

i just did a full reset for my phone, coz i heard that using smartwatch does affect the battery. i just will try anything for the moment.
ok so, the phone for me is super, i do not care about benchs or whatever, it does wat i ask and more except for battery it is draining fast. i get 5SOT when lucky, i have 5g on, 120hz, fhd, Bluetooth,sync,auto rotate, basically everything not gonna lie.
but i think anyone do the same, i have duel sims both on, i never connect to WiFi coz im always out.
am i being a whiner ? or should i get more than that?
i had an s20fe before and i think it used to last more.
the thing is i see battery draining once i use the device, like i see it lol
no heating tho or any other issues, i have package disabler on so anything useless i kill it asap.
wdyt?

Thanks for responding! Hmm, interesting. I can usually hit 5 hours SOT with 120hz and 1440P enabled, however, that only brings me to around 40-50% battery.
Maybe it's got something to do with that package disabler app. I don't have any potentially continuous background apps running on my phone and I also use Samsung's built-in battery options (sleep mode and deep sleep mode) for apps that I don't need/receive notifications from. Aside from that, the only other thing that I've done was remove almost all of the stock, built-in Samsung apps over ADB as I happen to use all Google apps (and doing so over ADB is the only reliable way to do so on Samsung devices).
Perhaps one or all of those things are what is helping me out - so give em' a try if you'd like to. But let me know how the phone reset works on your battery life! I hope that you can get it sorted out!

Hmmm , interesting .
I use package disabler coz it serves as the ADB method but this doesn't require a PC.
Might try that one as well.
So you only removed the srock apps, nothing out of ordinary?
Coz some lists asks to move too much which becomes weird.
Did the fresh install, awaiting a full charge to complete and will give it a test run.
Thank you mate, will update for sure.
Most of the battery drain for me is associated with the crazy google play services. I can't figure out why this service is draining on average 3.5% per day! I have tried every trick in the book but nothing seems to work

I'm pretty sure that it uses information from weather (dot) com.

Hmm, interesting. I guess the package disabler app should work then. But yeah, I've only removed stock, Samsung apps that I could directly replace with Google apps (things like phone, messages, calendar, calculator, etc) - so nothing out of the ordinary. It just stinks that Samsung made it so that the user cannot disable those untouched apps in the settings like they can on most other phones... Regardless, I'm still hoping that your reset does the trick! But with that said, just remember to give the phone a few full charge uses prior to giving it a battery duration test (as it usually takes like 3-4 full battery uses for this phone to adapt to your usage).

I can only speak from *my* experience but running 5G/LTE almost continuously as opposed to Wifi would probably drop my battery life by at least 33-40%. This is from my experience with my Note 9 when travelling overseas and not having access to wifi. With my S21 ultra, since having it I have 80% of the time been on wifi.
