So I got an S7 Edge about a month ago (SM-G935U, Snapdragon 820) but am getting really poor 3D performance out of it and not sure why.
3DMark Sling Shot Extreme ES 3.1 gives 1343 for example, when I thought I should be getting around 2100.

Display is set to FHD (1080P). It doesn't even get warm while benchmarking, I can't figure out why the performance is so bad.

he was the founder of the startup google bought before creating android

ostensibly the startup had something before the google purchase, but it was just a blackberry clone running in a sw emulator so it wasn't really "android" as we know it

all that modern day android shares with andy rubin's vision for android are 1.) the name "android" and 2.) using java

reasons = we are contractually prohibited from using Alexa as the assistant on this phone so we made a separate hardware module.

marketing is working really hard to spin this idiotic thing as a feature.
