If you are thinking of buying a mobile, nowadays you are not only going to have to look at performance, charging and camera, but you must also pay attention to an aspect that was appreciated until recently. It is about the configuration of heat dissipation, something much more important than you imagine, and especially in the summer and in day-to-day use. It is in fact a fundamental aspect in gaming phones. Of the processors that lead the market in the different ranges, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is the latest to dominate the list.
Since its inception, gaming phone manufacturers have focused on heat dissipation. The reason for this is that the core hardware of smartphones lasts much longer, which is good for gaming phones. Therefore, since the beginning of this year, the top three of AnTuTu’s monthly Android mobile phone performance list are dominated by mobiles for gamers.
The most powerful phones on the market
In terms of flagship mobile phones, the Black Shark 5 Pro ranks first, with an average score of 1,040,111. The CPU and GPU of this phone are not particularly outstanding, and it is its memory that puts it significantly ahead. from other Android phones. It has SSD+UFS 3.1.
The second-place model is the Red Magic 7 Pro , with an average score of 1,031,867. If you only compare the CPU and GPU scores, the Red Magic 7 Pro display version is the highest-performing model. For a long time, its biggest draw is the air-cooled heat dissipation scheme, which trades in higher heat dissipation efficiency for performance. There is a small fan inside that consumes more power. It is not very far from the previous model on the list.
The third is the Y90 , which combines the two solutions of Black Shark and Red Devils. It has a combination of SSD+UFS 3.1 (only in the higher version of 640 GB) and active air cooling. It is not the best configuration, only UFS 3.1 flash memory, but thanks to air-cooled heat dissipation, the GPU performance of this machine is ahead of mainstream mobile phones, and it is not much different from other mobile phones for games.
The full list is as follows:
- BlackShark 5 Pro
- Red Magic 7 Pro
- Y90
- Live IQOO 9
- Vivo IQOO 9 Pro
- Live X80
- Oppo Find X5 Pro
- I live X80 Pro
- Vivo IQOO Neo 6
- Xiaomi 12 Pro
The most powerful sub-flagships
Processors like Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 8100, and Dimensity 1200 are classified as sub-flagships. If Qualcomm doesn’t act, it’s quite possible that the next list of sub-flagships will be dominated by MediaTek. The first model is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max processor, with an average score of 822915. The Max model seems to have higher performance, but only the AI ability, the image in dark light and there have been few improvements. performance improvements.
Second and third place go to the Redmi K50 and Redmi Note 11T Pro+ models. The average scores are 816851 and 812671 respectively. When comparing the secondary scores, there are no big differences. Also, the Dimensity 8100 tuning is basically the same with no differences in performance. However, some models need to activate the high performance mode to exert its full force to control the temperature.
The mid-range mobiles that stand out the most
When it comes to the list of mid-range mobile features, we find the Snapdragon 7 series and the Dimensity 900 series. Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is the latest to dominate the list, having been recently released, built with a process of 4nm and with an improved CPU architecture.
The first model is iQOO Z5 , equipped with Snapdragon 778G, with an average score of 577956. It is equipped with a full version of LPDDR5 (6400 Mbps) + a full version of UFS3.1 (V6 process), so the score MEM is ahead of LPDDR4X memory, which is also the main score. In CPUI and GPU scores, it’s normal Snapdragon 778G performance.
The second model is the Snapdragon 7 Gen1 equipped OPPO Reno8 Pro , with an average score of 573115. According to the memory score, it is a combination of LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2. The main improvement lies in the GPU score. Adreno662 has indeed improved.
