#2Even better, it loses to iPhone 7. Apple silicon is really far ahead right now.

#3As a rule, performance of flagship Android phones lags iPhone by 2 years or so. Been that way as long as I can remember. Worse, floating point perf lags by about a factor of 3. I don’t know why Qualcomm and Samsung keep doing this to themselves. It’s not like they can’t design decent chips. They just choose not to. The situation is further exacerbated by Android being a disorganized, sloppily put together pile of excrement.

#4This is for the Exynos version which is slower than the USA/China version which uses Snapdragon 845.

That's your opinion.
I personally wouldn't touch an iphone with a ten-foot pole. I don't like Apple's business practices, and I don't like their hardware (no headphone socket/no SD card/smaller screen than I'd like).
Android isn't perfect, but I find it to be much more usable and logical in the way it works. I have done some Android programming so maybe I just understand it better than most, but my partner and my mother also seem to be able to use it fine. I certainly wouldn't describe it as a "sloppily put together pile of excrement". I am able to work around Android's deficiencies, something I can't do when locked in the Apple jail.
FWIW, when I think of a "sloppily put together pile of excrement", I think of itunes.

Try to use their camera2 api to see what I mean about sloppily put together. I’m with you on iTunes. Thankfully I haven’t had to use it in years.

An enduser doesn't need to know about the camera2 api to take a photo.
I was mistaken, I thought you were discussing usability for endusers, not about programming issues.

And Apple software is really, really far behind. You can find videos going back many years on YouTube of previous generation midtier Android phones besting latest generation top of the line iPhones in day-to-day tasks like launching communication, browsing, and social apps. Somehow, Apple forgot to optimize for what people actually use their devices for.

Funny isn't it how an Android phone with an old Snapdragon 835 from last year can so easily beat an iPhone X.

The "sloppily put together pile of excrement" iPhone X can't even keep apps in memory as it loses to an Android phone from last year. If a Note 8 can make the iPhone X look that bad just think what this year's S9 will do.

You mean the same camera2 API that's used by the Google Pixel 2 - the world's best smartphone camera?
