Apple even claims it “sets a new bar for mobile computing.”
The question on the lips of every Android performance enthusiast is whether the A20 Pro will see Apple reclaim the crown as the fastest smartphone chip on the market — and if it does, whether it can sustain that lead once next-generation processors from MediaTek and Qualcomm arrive before the year is out.
