    The ability to install linux and potentiall Steam OS makes it a candidate for a portable gaming PC, given you have a thermoelectric cooler or the phone has an active cooling option like the Redmagic phones. Can't wait to play games on it (RDR1 reached an average of 130FPS on an 8 Elite phone, imagine the native performance)

    Great video. I wonder why no one talks about it. It's true the phone companies compete with each other by adding more power and performance to their devices and want us to settle by just seeing how snapy their UI is. We need features and functionalities to take advantage of so much power. You rightly called it out and I really hope this video at some point gets noticed in a big way. Thanks and great job man.

    @deepak1987 22 дня назад +5

    Yea, I totally agree with all your points.
    I have a Mi11Ultra and am seriously considering upgrading to Xi15Ultra next year.
    But like you mentioned, while the SD Elite and its GPU (4.6 teraflops) is super impressive, the desktop mode in phones most of the time is such an after thought, and so limited.
    At least Samsung has this DeX thing, most phones have got nearly nothing in that direction.
    Xiaomi has finally started adding Display-Alt output from their USB-C port since their 14 series, but I don't think there are any real features apart from screen mirroring (that too I am not sure I have options to set it at 16:9 4k 60hz at least).
    This power could be leveraged not only using external monitors/TVs but also VR headsets, where maybe we could just buy the shell and connect it with the phone's hardware directly.
    Also, I'm not sure how future proof it might be too, because the new AI stuff may require new architectures or dedicated hardware units or something.
    Another issue is, while the camera improvements keep coming, they all cater to general consumer preferences with the over saturated bright processed waxy look,
    While my only primary interest is to have the camera be exactly like a DSLR or simply exceed it even.
    I spent so much time perfecting the mi11ultra camera look through GCAM mods and some tweaking, I'd have to do the same for any new phone too if I want the organic look.

    • @techstation365
      @techstation365  22 дня назад +3

      Mi11 Ultra was a true Ultra phone. I can only imagine the images it could produce using Gcam. ISOCELL GN2 right? Big 1/1.12 inch sensor.. with a screen at the back for the best selfies ever haha!
      Xiaomi has been providing DP1.4 for sometime now, I don't know why they don't work on a desktop mode, or at least allow us to trigger the experimental desktop mode from dev options but even that doesn't work in HyperOS.

  • @sauravrex
    @sauravrex 24 дня назад

    8Gen3 and above have 10Gbps bandwidth but manufacturers are still stuck with 5Gbps. Bandwidth is the main limitation for dex. Like we need at least 20Gbps.
    Cause when you connect to external display tab display switches to 60 Hz. Also, 20Gbps will allow 1440p at 120Hz with 10 bit color depth for external display.

    • @techstation365
      @techstation365  24 дня назад +1

      Actually let me correct you, it's not about the usb bandwidth but the display port protocol implemented via dp-alt. Infact non-pro iPhones can output video even though they are on USB 2.0.
      From what I know, Samsung tablets can output upto 4K60Hz using goodlock mods which basically suggests it's DP1.4 and so does Xiaomi which supports 4K60Hz output by default (and that's age old SD870).
      DP1.4 can easily handle 1440p144Hz, in fact it can do 3440x1440 240Hz. So it some kind of other limitation, God knows what it is.

    The reason game devs dont make AAA games for mobile is because of the fact that if they did people would see less point in buying consoles or pcs and the games on them. Its all about money which is a shame because i 100% agree and the raw power mobile devices have now could easily run these higher quality games

    • @techstation365
      @techstation365  18 дней назад

      I believe they can certainly co-exist. If age old Nintendo Switch with much much much less powerful hardware than even upper mid-range android phones can have AAA ports like Doom Eternal and Hogwarts Legacy, then they can definitely exist on Android as well. The port should also not be expensive, as Nintendo Switch port already exists and Switch is really old now. The devs just need to implement a reasonable DRM to prevent piracy, that's it.

      I sold my S6 Lite long back, after using for 2 years.
      Samsung has really lost it - Galaxy Tab S7 FE features full external dex support over Type-C just like Tab S7, however they downgraded the Type-C port and removed external DEX from the Tab S9 FE/FE+. What a scummy move, I'm sure many got fooled.

    • @techstation365
      @techstation365  23 дня назад +2

      Power efficiency is never calculated without setting performance target. You cannot say x is more efficient than y since x used lesser power than y to get a score even though that score is much lesser than what x achieved.
      You set the score and then test each SoC to see how much power the SoC needs to achieve that target. For example 8 Elite in Genshin Impact manages 60fps at max settings while consuming 4.6W while the 8 Gen 3 needs a little over 6W to do the same. There are other such examples. Throttled performance of 8 Elite = 8 Gen 3 peak and that's a vital stat.

    There's a mistake which you made the overall die size of both are very similar the only reason why the apple A18 pro scores this high in single core sis bcs of using arm v9.2 with sme (scalable matrix extension) now if you open geekbench and see the individual scores like file compression , decompression etc there's a thing for sme that boosts the score of the apple 18 pro and not it's size and since Qualcomm is using arm v8 v8 doesn't support sme infact the 8gen3 supports arm v9 with sme but not 8elite thnks to legal disputes bw Qualcomm and arm
    The sad part is the 9400 also used arm v9.2. But they dint integrate the sme which results is lower single core score in the geekbench
    This year Qualcomm and meditatech both had chance to beat the A18 pro in single core but lost bcs of not using sme a total missed oppertunity plus with sme the 8elite would have scored 3220 @4gbz insted of 4.37 and @4.37 it would have scored 3550 ther by matching the A18 pro in single core

    I think it's against their own interests. After all, they're also a laptop company, so there's no reason for them to undermine the laptop market by making cell phones comparable to, or in my opinion even better than, laptops (considering size and a fanless setup). Unless something changes in the future, or they exit that market, things are unlikely to change.
