Thank you so much for providing 'real' reviews for gaming performance compared to mainstream media. Because of this review, I've cancelled my Pixel 6 Pro order and switched to an Iphone 13 thanks to you
Cortex A76 are still quite early, being the ancestors of all subsequent versions of the Cortex A cores, in contrast to the same A75. Another thing is that their configuration in the form of two cores forms a not very productive cluster and the gap with two Cortex X1s in a large cluster is quite large. It would be more optimal to use the A77 cores instead of the A76.
The thing is Mali is a good or average gpu, the performance depends on which company which utilizes it, in Kirin it performs as much as sd 888, even in mediatek dimensity series it did well, only in Exynos and tensor (both r same) it performs worst
@@harchan6274 kirin 9000 is made on tsmc 5nm which is more power efficient than samsung 5nm. anyway, kirin 9000 wasnt exactly a cool chip either. mali gpus only perform well in benchmarks. they are always behind adreno gpus in gaming tests.

So it's been about a year since I got my pixel 6 and genshin impact being one of my favorite games, I've been playing it on the pixel 6 for a little while now and what have noticed Is that over time The performance in game has gotten worse. I don't know if that's because of poor optimization from the game developer or because of updates from Google. But I used to be able to get 60 FPS with everything set to medium. No problem. Now it fluctuates between 29 and 40 constantly. I have to turn everything down to low to get a stable frame rate and sometimes I even have to cap it the 30 FPS for it to not stutter And also would have noticed is that the pixel 6 dumps a lot of heat into the metal rails that surrounds the phone and not really to the back glass which makes sense considering the rails are metal. So using a laser thermometer, I was able to tell that the rails got to 49° after about 15 minutes of gaming
The Fold 3, Flip 3 (my favorite), and the Duo 2 are the ones to get. They all fold. Can play games without needing a kickstand. All have Snapdragon 888 which run GameCube games well.
Battery is shit, camera is meh and it’s only a plastic screen… The phone to go rn is the 13 Pro Max (just buy a kickstand case if u need it lol), by far best performance, best battery, best camera (arguably based on preferences), etc…
The thing is what I say in some past videos... The main devices for devs is the most popular, Qualcomm and apple will have an advantage over the others. Also, Mali have its limits in passive cooling devices such as mobile phones (there are machines with it for Linux and other stuff that are fine but Mali have its limits in passive cooling devices). With that said... Let's just hope Samsung shared some of those rdna2 GPUs with Google next year, games in mobile tents to use more the GPU than the CPU (which will cause overheating issues, that is one of the differences of mobile phones and desktop games).
Mali has nothing to do with it. I have a SoC Dimensity 1000+ with only 9 cores G77 and Genshin impact at the same maximum graphics settings, it goes better, showing an average FPS around 40, as on smartphones with Dimensity 1200, the tests of which are available on this channel. Previously, the GPU Mali problem was the raster unit, but with the transition to energy Valhall managed to fix this, increasing its performance by 4 times. So now the games are going about the same, and what you mean by optimization is actually marketing.
They say pixel 6 pro has the best GPU in android phones. But while watching this one, i dont even feel like it as that Genshin performance is way bad... Thats why dont believe in benchmark scores...
@@foualter102 adreno gpu in Qualcomm chipset is better at gaming scenario.. most mali gpu excel at gpu benchmark.. pixel got many mali gpu core.. i forgot wut version of mali.. but.. its 20 of them inside pixel tensor.

Also apple is ahead of other because of TSMC fab.. apple a13 is on latest tsmc manufacturing fab.. wheres.. sd 888 is on samsung fab.. similar with exynos and pixel tensor.. tsmc latest fab gaves better chip density and make it much more efficient overall.

This is really the only complaint people and tech reviewers are having about the Pixel 6 series i.e the poor battery life (which I can see from this video is due to unusually high power consumption for an SoC). Google really should have made the Tensor more efficient. But still otherwise the phone is great. The thermal management of the phone is amazing. Despite having such high power consumption, it stayed cooler than SD 888 and Exynos 2100 powered S21 Ultra
@@robertroot7237 The thermal management of this phone and the Tensor chip is great. Despite using older cores in Tensor and more power, the Pixel 6 Pro performs about the same as Exynos 2100 S21 Ultra in Genshin Impact but still remains alot cooler at 36-40 degree Celsius with the S21 Ultra routinely touching around 45 degrees.
@@ibraheem1224 it's still worst in average fps and has higher average and peak consumption especially before throttling.. and the fact that it's similar to the exynos 2100 performance(while using much less bloated software) it's not really a badge of honor🤣 it's not great, it's crap

@@dipanshumandekar2223 I had the phone for a weak, had to sell it because the moment I applied any tempered glass ( tried 5) the touch stopped responding properly. It has ghosting issues. Bought s20 fe now, works like a charm
I think this is because google tensor chips are made from exynos chip platforms. So as expected its Gpu performance will be the same as the exynos chipset like Exynos 2100
as expected from a rebranded Exynos, but I'd say not a bad start considering its a $899 flagship, and they never focused on gamers. But this shows that Google needs to start making its own *Real* custom chips using TSMC fab rather than Samsung.
@@venator7889 ikr, but I'll let them pass this time cuz it's their first time doing something different, but next time onwards it has to be industry leading or Pixel would suck as always.
I think Google make a good decision to works with samsung, because sooner samsung will release the samsung x AMD chip, who knows google is allowed to use the tech of it 🙌🏻 just hope tho
This isn't even a good result for a Mali GPU. The Mediatek Dimensity 1200 performs better and more stable despite: -Being an upper-midrange SoC -Having a "weaker" GPU (Mali G77 MC9 vs Tensor's Mali G78 MP20) The performance per watt is also dissapointing. The Tensor can draw the same or slightly more power than the Kirin 9000, but it manages to perform worse.
@@mythydamashii9978 It makes sense that Mediatek's GPU isn't as quite good. After all, they mostly make midrange and low-end chips. Even then, the Dimensity 1200 is ahead of the Snapdragon 778G in GPU power.
@@androidoneiu5206 That's expected. Dimensity 1200 is an upper-midrange chip, whereas the Exynos 2100 is flagship-tier chip. Though from I've seen, the Dimensity 1200 could be thermally more stable.
Yep this comment deserves more attention. Geekbench shows a much better score with Vulkan enabled. Do you have recommendations for good games with Vulkan support?
If you're buying a Pixel just for gaming, you're hugely mistaken. Pixels' main unique selling point over its competitors is its ML capabilities, astrophotography, minimal bloat software UI optimization with fast monthly software updates. It doesn't need to be the best at hardware performance which is evident from predecessor Pixel phones.
@@rrageneral1499 It does have great software optimization and day to day usage and is definitely much smoother than alot of other OEMs. Gaming is just not Pixels strongest suit. If you're strictly focused on hardware performance then it's better to just get a iPhone or iPad since most Android phones today is still lackluster.
Nah! The new Snapdragon 800 series chips are really expensive Plus they get very hot so Google would've needed to install a good heat dissipation system which would increase the costs of manufacturing the phone That's why they went with a custom processor Imo snapdragon's 700 series chips are where u find the right balance of thermals and performance I am not a mobile gamer but I've tried playing pubg on my Phone which has a snapdragon 720G It ran the game on smooth 60fps without any lag and didn't even manage to reach charging temperatures level of heat on the back cover The 768G delivers better performance with similar levels of heat
@@99Teutons if you think tat 800 series chips are costly you are completely wrong cuz u can get a phone costing abt 300 400 dollars and still get a 888 processor in it for eg realme gt master eddition And for 700 series it is a completely new story I use a phone with 720g n 4 gb ram n it gets very very very hot The hottest tat I have measured while playing genshion impact is 52 degree Celsius...

Google is selling you an underpowered SoC yet again. Avoid Mali for gaming especially for emulators. Tensor is on par to a Snapdragon 855. Pixel 4 had the same GPU speed test time as the Pixel 6.
Same. All the more power to them, but a lot of the comments just seem absolutely silly as someone with a PC, laptop, and some consoles. I never saw the appeal in phone games.

my pixel 6 pro speakers crackle in genshin impact. You can easily hear it on the main menu. So far I've only noticed it in this specific game, so I hope it's not a hardware defect.
Your videos are always negative I ordered the pixel 6 and it's 37 to 38 degrees max not 41 degrees and performance is fine no lags whatsoever simply download cou-z to check temperature plus I could see 38 degrees why say 41
iPad Pro A12X (2018) gaming performing impact after updating to iOS 15.1 I've noticed that throttling and screen dimming are happening a lot faster then before while playing Genshin Impact. Before the update I was able to play for a lot longer and the screen would only dim to around 80% - 70% after playing for extended periods of time while the iPad was plugged in at 100% while I game. (everything max settinqs). But now after the update my screen dims to 40% after playing for only 10 - 15 minutes and the iPad is barely hot, compared to before on iOS 14 I was able to play for hours on end and the screen would only dim to a max of 70%, I'm also noticing lower fps once the screen dims. I tired rolling back my update but Apple doesn't allow it. This is really frustrating, it's almost as if they are doing to on purpose. Anyone having the same issues or have any insight on the matter? Can you make a video about this? Just make sure if you update your iPad to iOS 15.1 that you compare the performance, I’m almost certain they changed something, I can’t play Genshin impact for 10 min without the screen dimming to 40% its ridiculous.
The next Exytensor chip should be better with AMD. This first one would be a flagship 2 years ago. That $600 Pixel 6 doesn't look like a bargain any more. Get a $400 Surface Duo. No kickstand required.
Devs need to write code for it. Looking at the pile of bugs in GI, I doubt MiYoHo is interested in spending time on fixing the game or improving it. I would never play GI with it's intrusive PunkBuster.
Meaningless, the 120Hz is opened for M1 iPad Pro, but they have the same patch because of the same shared App store. So yes, you can enable the 120Hz on phone, but no, you will not reach this performance on the phone in the next 1-2 years.. M1 basically is a doubled A14 (doubled amount of power cores and doubled amount of GPU cores, it's +100% performance because of the doubled amount of cores), but A15 is only a +20-30% improvements compared to the same A14, so it's still missing 70-80% bonus performance to be able to do the same on the phone.
Heyy, can you do a vid comparing the TapTap and PlayStore Genshin app? I've seen people talking about it that Taptap version delivers longer and better performance. I tried it myself and I see a small difference. I'm wondering if you can make a video of it using flagship grade phones and budget phones. I hear that it affects budget phones better. Hoping to hear from you. Great vids
No they do not 💀 Not even the 13 pro max can hit a constant 60fps on this game at max settings They all average at 40, oh and the tensor chip is equivalent to the 865
Conclusion : not good at overclocked settings. But when in normal settings (mine) pixel 6 pro will be perfect. Cmon guys you wanna overclocked settings, the perfection is only in PC. Some ambient only shown in genshin PC version
Normal or high graphics should be enough. Personally, i will buy the iphone 13 Pro and i won´t use the highest graphics. It is not necessary for a good game experience.
It's pretty low for a Snapdragon 888 but once again Genshin Impact ultra is a phone killer since none have very good thermal management. I actually bought my next phone using your benchmarks for weighing some of my decision (was deciding between z fold 3 and Iphone 13). I like the solution of the magnetic blackshark on the iphone 13 and once it's possible to unlock power management on this will probably be worth it and be a very comfortable playing experience. I think the latest android 12 layer is currently somewhat less efficient at power management while gaming from what I've seen after updating on 2 of my phone. The benchmark will probably be interesting to revisit on the Pixel once a couple updates have come by!
Hello Golden Reviewer, if you still have any sd865 devices to test out genshin after these huge updates would be interesting. If you don't have, no problem because i understand your using your own money to buy these phones.
what about performance at 30fps? most phones struggle to handle 60fps, so honestly if the pixel 6 runs genshin at 30 fps med-high graphics settings i will be more than satisfied.
get an iphone 13 at this point, if its for only genshin impact at medium settings then iphone 13 is ike the complete package, good camera, battery, and good for gaming.
@@Bill2011ELITE after few months the performance of those phones will start to decline. especially asus rog. people say that after few months the phone starts to have lagging issues frequently.
Well, that high power = high power consumption it's not how's it going. The power cores are for power task, they consume a lot in all phones that have those, for other task you had the mid and tiny sizes cores. The problem here is that they choose older mid sizes chips, and also their governor favors the big cores in the difficult task, which is fine since this cores are more faster so can finished those task faster... The problem is that this games uses more the GPU than the CPU (they mostly uses 1 core at full and the others at mid level, if they uses the second X1 as a mid... Well there is the power consumption problem). The GPU it's not that powerful and give that the governor make it downclock so the CPU can maintain the performance is what makes this type of issues in performance. The problem is, this was documented with the Exynos at the beginning of the year... They should have take measures at the very least. Next year Qualcomm chips will introduce the cortex arm v9 platform which mean they might use a config of two cortex X2, two cortex A700 and two cortex A500, this will be better than the current ones and with better consumption so the GPU of adreno will have a bigger advantage that other years. Samsung might do the same but also use the AMD collaboration with the rdna2 GPU. If google can keep up and choose Mali again... Then this is bad.
@@hailgod1 I mean, those numbers are not the final, that comes from a rumor that they change the cluster for the next chip, it could be 2(X2)+2(A710)+2(A510)+2LP(A510LowPower).
Is it true that that sd 865 and sd888 have similar fps on genshin impact if both played for a few hours straight? Sd 888 thermal throttles to sd865 speeds?
The sad part is no one is going to run the game at high. It will kill your battery in minutes. Its pointless setting your benchmark at a unrealistic area. You should of done all medium or low with max resolution 60
pocof3, i own it for 6 months, after 6 months its unplayable. just downloading genshin heats up the phone alot, got to use cooling fan to cool the phone down.
i would highly recommend mi 10 and mi 10 pro. those two phones are still the most underrated phones. those two phones was last year so it will be as cheap or a bit expensive than poco f3. mi 10 and mi10 pro has far suprerior audio quality, screen, camera etc. the chip is also more suprerior( far optimised than 888 and 870) so using normal apps wont be an issue. another thing is that it has wireless charging unlike poco f3. everything (in my opinion is just better than poco f3)
This is why each android phone vendors should contact the devs personally due to the device and OS compatibility, so the devs can optimize their game for certains device and custom OS and ofc that aint free ,..not like iOS they only got 1 OS
The performance of Google Tensor chip It is not caused by the Mali gpu but the maker of the chipset that caused it. This is because of how Kirin chipsets that use mali gpu have better performance than Exynos and MediaTek?
You're the only reviewer so far who gave me a full and honest assessment regarding Genshin Impact performance. Others played it but didn't seem to test it sufficiently given what they said in their videos. I imagined they saw the initial performance was fine and didn't look to sustain it. What a shame, I'll have to skip then cause gaming on these phones is important to me (even though I'd still primarily play Genshin on PC with my Xbox controller).

Can you do a FPS Performance test on the high, medium, and low presets ? I'm curios what it can actually mange.
This is really the only complaint people and tech reviewers are having about the Pixel 6 series i.e the poor battery life (which I can see from this video is due to unusually high power consumption for an SoC).
Google really should have made the Tensor more efficient. But still otherwise the phone is great. The thermal management of the phone is amazing. Despite having such high power consumption, it stayed cooler than SD 888 and Exynos 2100 powered S21 Ultra
Just because they are throttling it more aggressively, that's why the poor fps performance, or will melt.. literally
@@robertroot7237 The thermal management of this phone and the Tensor chip is great. Despite using older cores in Tensor and more power, the Pixel 6 Pro performs about the same as Exynos 2100 S21 Ultra in Genshin Impact but still remains alot cooler at 36-40 degree Celsius with the S21 Ultra routinely touching around 45 degrees.
@@ibraheem1224 it's still worst in average fps and has higher average and peak consumption especially before throttling.. and the fact that it's similar to the exynos 2100 performance(while using much less bloated software) it's not really a badge of honor🤣 it's not great, it's crap
If it wouldn't be too much trouble can you test the realme gt neo 2 and motorola edge 20 pro as well, heard that they have great sustained performance.
Moto edge 20 pro has display issues
Well I'm currently playing genshin in the gt neo 2 no disappointment at all . Doesn't heat much.
@@dipanshumandekar2223 I had the phone for a weak, had to sell it because the moment I applied any tempered glass ( tried 5) the touch stopped responding properly. It has ghosting issues. Bought s20 fe now, works like a charm
@@ronniedsouza2899 mine works fine
Golden Retriever deserves more subscribers! 💯💪🏼
I think this is because google tensor chips are made from exynos chip platforms. So as expected its Gpu performance will be the same as the exynos chipset like Exynos 2100
Fun 2100 is better
that's exactly how i play it on my iPhone 7
Was waiting for this video, thx. It seems I'll will using my Mi10 a year more, really poor performance, hopefully next pixel will fix its soc.
as expected from a rebranded Exynos, but I'd say not a bad start considering its a $899 flagship, and they never focused on gamers.
But this shows that Google needs to start making its own *Real* custom chips using TSMC fab rather than Samsung.
No there's no excuses the phone costs $899 its expected to score high on Antutu and play graphically intensive games with no issues. 😡 Google
@@venator7889 ikr, but I'll let them pass this time cuz it's their first time doing something different, but next time onwards it has to be industry leading or Pixel would suck as always.
I think Google make a good decision to works with samsung, because sooner samsung will release the samsung x AMD chip, who knows google is allowed to use the tech of it 🙌🏻 just hope tho
But Google's ceo said they had been working on this chip for 4yrs
Stop talking nonsense, tensor aren’t a Exynos renamed, and Samsung only manufactured the chip, Google has designed the chip
Mali GPUs are a joke for gaming. Adreno destroys it. Hence, why Snapdragons do overheat. But you get the horsepower to handle graphic-intensive games.
This isn't even a good result for a Mali GPU. The Mediatek Dimensity 1200 performs better and more stable despite:
-Being an upper-midrange SoC
-Having a "weaker" GPU (Mali G77 MC9 vs Tensor's Mali G78 MP20)
The performance per watt is also dissapointing. The Tensor can draw the same or slightly more power than the Kirin 9000, but it manages to perform worse.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING TO THOSE BRAINWASHED MEDIATEK SHEEP
@@mythydamashii9978 It makes sense that Mediatek's GPU isn't as quite good. After all, they mostly make midrange and low-end chips. Even then, the Dimensity 1200 is ahead of the Snapdragon 778G in GPU power.
@@muhammadnaufala9890 Samsung destroys it
@@androidoneiu5206 That's expected. Dimensity 1200 is an upper-midrange chip, whereas the Exynos 2100 is flagship-tier chip. Though from I've seen, the Dimensity 1200 could be thermally more stable.
>not using Vulkan
it's common knowledge at this point that mali GPU performs worse on OpenGL compared to Vulkan.
Yep this comment deserves more attention. Geekbench shows a much better score with Vulkan enabled. Do you have recommendations for good games with Vulkan support?
If you're buying a Pixel just for gaming, you're hugely mistaken. Pixels' main unique selling point over its competitors is its ML capabilities, astrophotography, minimal bloat software UI optimization with fast monthly software updates. It doesn't need to be the best at hardware performance which is evident from predecessor Pixel phones.
I would expect great performance from a device that costs $500+.
@@rrageneral1499 It does have great software optimization and day to day usage and is definitely much smoother than alot of other OEMs. Gaming is just not Pixels strongest suit. If you're strictly focused on hardware performance then it's better to just get a iPhone or iPad since most Android phones today is still lackluster.
any flagship should be able to game.
Google cocked it up by not using Snapdragon...
Which for them would be cheaper and better for the users
Nah!
The new Snapdragon 800 series chips are really expensive
Plus they get very hot so Google would've needed to install a good heat dissipation system which would increase the costs of manufacturing the phone
That's why they went with a custom processor
Imo snapdragon's 700 series chips are where u find the right balance of thermals and performance
I am not a mobile gamer but I've tried playing pubg on my Phone which has a snapdragon 720G
It ran the game on smooth 60fps without any lag and didn't even manage to reach charging temperatures level of heat on the back cover
The 768G delivers better performance with similar levels of heat

my pixel 6 pro speakers crackle in genshin impact. You can easily hear it on the main menu. So far I've only noticed it in this specific game, so I hope it's not a hardware defect.
You can turn on the API audio setting in genshin to fix this! I had the same issue and this fixed it.
Hi, nice test :D can you tell me please the name of the app for fps meter?

iPad Pro A12X (2018) gaming performing impact after updating to iOS 15.1
I've noticed that throttling and screen dimming are happening a lot faster then before while playing Genshin Impact. Before the update I was able to play for a lot longer and the screen
would only dim to around 80% - 70% after playing for extended periods of time while the iPad was plugged in at 100% while I game. (everything max settinqs). But now after the update my
screen dims to 40% after playing for only 10 - 15 minutes and the iPad is barely hot, compared to before on iOS 14 I was able to play for hours on end and the screen would only dim to a max
of 70%, I'm also noticing lower fps once the screen dims. I tired rolling back my update but Apple doesn't allow it. This is really frustrating, it's almost as if they are doing to on purpose. Anyone having the same issues or have any insight on the matter? Can you make a video about this? Just make sure if you update your iPad to iOS 15.1 that you compare the performance, I’m almost certain they changed something, I can’t play Genshin impact for 10 min without the screen dimming to 40% its ridiculous.
The next Exytensor chip should be better with AMD. This first one would be a flagship 2 years ago. That $600 Pixel 6 doesn't look like a bargain any more. Get a $400 Surface Duo. No kickstand required.
Will you do Red Magic 6s Pro?
dude brought all the phone to test gigachad

I beleive you have to manually activate Vulkan API.
If so record perfomance test with Vulkan API.

I would never play GI with it's intrusive PunkBuster.
Is this a hardware issue or more of just needing a update or two in order to optimize the performance?
Hardware issue. The phone thermal throttles like crazy. People saying this can be "fixed" with an update are plain wrong.

Could you please redo a quick 120hz test on the new ios 15.2 beta on pro iphone 13 please ?? Thanks alot
Meaningless, the 120Hz is opened for M1 iPad Pro, but they have the same patch because of the same shared App store. So yes, you can enable the 120Hz on phone, but no, you will not reach this performance on the phone in the next 1-2 years.. M1 basically is a doubled A14 (doubled amount of power cores and doubled amount of GPU cores, it's +100% performance because of the doubled amount of cores), but A15 is only a +20-30% improvements compared to the same A14, so it's still missing 70-80% bonus performance to be able to do the same on the phone.

What software do you use for the fps float and how do u see the average fps?
Did you find any ?
3:37 bro isnt that a bit overkill?
FYI the snapdragon 8 gen 1 and 888 gets constant 60fps in the max settings on this game.
Even the 865 gets around 40 average
No they do not 💀
Not even the 13 pro max can hit a constant 60fps on this game at max settings
They all average at 40, oh and the tensor chip is equivalent to the 865
Still better than the 29.6 average FPS that the exynos variant of Samsung S21 Ultra got. Wish we got the SD888 S21 Ultra here in the UK

U mean embarrassing ??
Now i trust ur judgment
Conclusion : not good at overclocked settings.
But when in normal settings (mine) pixel 6 pro will be perfect.
Cmon guys you wanna overclocked settings, the perfection is only in PC. Some ambient only shown in genshin PC version
Normal or high graphics should be enough. Personally, i will buy the iphone 13 Pro and i won´t use the highest graphics. It is not necessary for a good game experience.

请问你的雷电将军是二命吗？伤害好高呀
you really save ppl from buying phones with the intent to play games like GI. sadly, i believe its more of an optimization problem on GI's part. :(
It's pretty low for a Snapdragon 888 but once again Genshin Impact ultra is a phone killer since none have very good thermal management.
I actually bought my next phone using your benchmarks for weighing some of my decision (was deciding between z fold 3 and Iphone 13). I like the solution of the magnetic blackshark on the iphone 13 and once it's possible to unlock power management on this will probably be worth it and be a very comfortable playing experience.
I think the latest android 12 layer is currently somewhat less efficient at power management while gaming from what I've seen after updating on 2 of my phone. The benchmark will probably be interesting to revisit on the Pixel once a couple updates have come by!
Hello Golden Reviewer, if you still have any sd865 devices to test out genshin after these huge updates would be interesting. If you don't have, no problem because i understand your using your own money to buy these phones.
what about performance at 30fps? most phones struggle to handle 60fps, so honestly if the pixel 6 runs genshin at 30 fps med-high graphics settings i will be more than satisfied.
Ewwww 🤢, paying over $900 for that trash? You can buy a rog phone 5 for less money and that thing is built like a pc.
get an iphone 13 at this point, if its for only genshin impact at medium settings then iphone 13 is ike the complete package, good camera, battery, and good for gaming.
Just buy a gaming phone the google and iPhone are not classified as gaming an gaming phone like the asus rog, Lenovo,Nubia, black shark etc

@@Bill2011ELITE after few months the performance of those phones will start to decline. especially asus rog. people say that after few months the phone starts to have lagging issues frequently.
Thnx a lot 👍🏻 💓
Those 2 Cortex-X1 cores really eat up the battery 😂 🔥
High power = high power consumption
Well, that high power = high power consumption it's not how's it going.
The power cores are for power task, they consume a lot in all phones that have those, for other task you had the mid and tiny sizes cores.
The problem here is that they choose older mid sizes chips, and also their governor favors the big cores in the difficult task, which is fine since this cores are more faster so can finished those task faster...
The problem is that this games uses more the GPU than the CPU (they mostly uses 1 core at full and the others at mid level, if they uses the second X1 as a mid... Well there is the power consumption problem).
The GPU it's not that powerful and give that the governor make it downclock so the CPU can maintain the performance is what makes this type of issues in performance.
The problem is, this was documented with the Exynos at the beginning of the year... They should have take measures at the very least.
Next year Qualcomm chips will introduce the cortex arm v9 platform which mean they might use a config of two cortex X2, two cortex A700 and two cortex A500, this will be better than the current ones and with better consumption so the GPU of adreno will have a bigger advantage that other years.
Samsung might do the same but also use the AMD collaboration with the rdna2 GPU.
If google can keep up and choose Mali again... Then this is bad.

You're the only reviewer so far who gave me a full and honest assessment regarding Genshin Impact performance. Others played it but didn't seem to test it sufficiently given what they said in their videos. I imagined they saw the initial performance was fine and didn't look to sustain it. What a shame, I'll have to skip then cause gaming on these phones is important to me (even though I'd still primarily play Genshin on PC with my Xbox controller).
Well, treat Google new "flagship" tensor SoC as a beta test for now
All Pixel buys are Beta Testers anyways.
They usually test Google app previews for free and then update comes to other phones
They are free testers.
