    Not really, considering the kinds of cellphones we use in the states are about the same as the ones used in Japan and technically, a lot of our electronics and their parts are made overseas.

    Cellphones could never be more powerful than a PC at the moment simply because the size of the phone limits to how strong of a processor, graphics, sound, etc can be put into the device without it overheating. A cellphone is made to be compact and mobile and the games made for cellphones are created with that in mind, plus the maximum specs allowed on each brand: Apple, Samsung, etc. Phones can't be upgraded in the same sense as PC's either, so, a PC will always be more powerful than a simple cellphone. By the time the next new phone is out, you can upgrade your PC with something that would be equally better than the specs from last year's phone model.

    My Galaxy S9 has a Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 processor.

    Meanwhile, my Macbook Pro has a SSD and a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 as it's processor. I'm pretty sure the Mac eclipses the S9 by far in terms of power. The custom PC desktop sitting in the dining room beats both of them out of the water though.

    Also noted, cellphones run on batteries so they have to use power as efficient as possible, meanwhile, a PC will always have a constant access to electricity from being plugged into a wall and therefore able to run more powerfully due to a constant supply of energy. Operating systems designed for computers and laptops are full-featured. They are designed to take advantage of fast CPUs, large amounts of disk space, and high amounts of RAM. Also, they take advantage of the features of modern chipsets that are not available on most mobile devices. PC's usually carry much more storage than cellphones as well, as far as exceeding even one TB now. Cellphones are kept between 8 GB and 64 GB with it built in.
