“Sadly” not really. As this is the northern hemisphere the “shorter” path would be an arc opening downwards. As others have commented, there are other reasons for this route.

Hab nur ich Probleme mit Voyager auf feddit.org zu kommen? Ich sehe du bist bei discuss.tchncs.de, aber wenn ich in Voyager versuche mich bei feddit.org anzumelden, kommt immer nur eine generische Fehlermeldung “Problem conncting to feddit.org”. Das passiert nur bei feddit.org, alle anderen Instanzen scheinen zu klappen…

Yeah their website is really great, especially the compare function! Sadly for the benchmarks they of course always use the benchmarks available at test time, so the scores they report for the two phones are not comparable.

Ah thanks for the links! I find it very hard to compare mobile CPUs, with all their different splittings between clock frequencies and so on. According to your link and most of the other stuff I saw the performances should not be too dissimilar in either way. Given hoe the actual performance of my phone is not one of the problems I think I will just get the Edge 50 Neo.

Yeah, but it seems like this is not for the Pro version. There are some ROMs on XDA, including an unofficial LineageOS one, but at least for me the days of running custom ROMs on my daily driver are over.
