The new models, which obviously run Android, also feature a 120 Hz refresh rate which will delight the most demanding gamers. They will also be able to count on a chipSnapdragon 8 Gen 2for performance, the best Qualcomm processor on the market to date. But here it turns out thatthe A16 Bionic chip does better, at least according to benchmarks published recently.
