UPDATE: THANK YOU for the positive feedback! I’ll reply to each and every comment, for now I gotta rest cause I’m having a headache 🤤
Let me know what do you think of the test and let me know what games do you wanna see next!
P.S. forgive the sudden change of tone when the voiceover starts 🤣 I recorded very late and can’t risk waking everyone up

Actually it makes sense because I've seen this on PC usually the higher the voltage the more heat is generated and because of that something called thermal throttling happens and that reduces the performance regardless of how powerful the cpu while a cpu with lower voltage is more likely to out perform the other due to the lesser stress on the cores
Settings when u test? And with cooler on ?
is genshin getting heavier over time? because i definitely remember playing genshin impact on my old xiaomi mi8 with well above 30fps, so its weird that the best you can get today is around 48 fps
@@SToXC_. yes, and sumeru looks like its gonna be more heavy.

Thank you so much for this comparison, this is the video i wanted to see and yes please do another comparison with cooling fans.
Thanks for the positive comment! I’ll definitely do one with cooling fans so stay tuned until it comes! 🤤
I subbed for the detailed comparison. I'll surely wait for the tests with coolers because I use one!
Thanks for the sub! And stay tuned cause that can’t come soon enough!
Nice video. For the coolers, i bought myself a Snowgon F8 for my Xiaomi 11 lite 5G and it really does help a bit. There are other options, but i got the Gamesir one because it combines grip and cooling. Again nice video, thanks for your work.

SD 870 is such a marvel. Ditched my SD888 Mi 11T which easily stutter / thermal throttles on Wild Rift. Sold it at a very discounted price and waited until the Legion Y700 tablet. Been my main android gaming device ever since.
ikr, 888 is hot af even when not gaming
Legion y700 is so good spec wise for gaming. I can't buy it without it being Jacked up

Great performance comparison video!!! just by looking at their screens, which do you think is better? which is brighter and color accurate if ts just for media consumption?
Detailed testing. Great content. Keep em coming! Love it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video! Thanks bro
Keep up the good work Kenneth!
Nice review ken, by the way have you tried LG free tone earbuds?, i would like to know how do you think about them
great work man.. very informative and helpful.. do you have review for f4 vs x4 gt? and poco f3.. thanks
I really like the shoulder buttons on f4 gt and its design but i mainly play genshin, honkai, pubg... games that need better processors to play so i am going to buy myself a f4 this weekend! Thank you
I'm planning to get the F4 GT this weekend but becuase of this I might just get the F4. I really like the design of GT though. But I mostly play games so I need better performance especially on fast paced and skill based game like PGR where consistent frame rates really matters.
have u considered the normal redmi k50 or the poco x4gt
@@adelsh9296 I had the Mi 10T Pro before which has also an IPS screen so I want an amoled this time.

@@archeb how was the mi10t pro? Im considering of buying it, but poco x4 gt sounds good too
@@szrynn6997 I had no issues with the mi10t pro before until the deadboot happened. So I won't recommend it, better go with Poco X4 GT if you don't mind IPS screen
nice, great effort in doing the test!
Thank you, I’m glad you found it insightful!
The video is dope as always man good job👍. I would like to see content about the Poco x4 gt it just seems like nobody is covering this phone with proper gamer centric review. Many people like myself are interested in it because it has dimensity 8100 but is cheaper than Redmi k50. If you can make that happen for us it would be awesome 😎 but as usual it's a thumbs up from me and if I could subscribe a second time I would 😂.
Man thanks for your support as always! 🤜🏻 I am super super interested in the X4 GT as well since it looks like ‘the phone’ that’s going to slay in games, all I can say is it is coming (although a bit late now since they didn’t ship early) and I can’t wait to test it out!
That's exactly the video i wanted, Thank you
nice one. honest gaming test. we like your effort put in this video.
Appreciate that! Thanks 😁😁
Great video, can perfdog also record CPU frequency? I think 870 can easily maintain high clock speed on its primary core, 8gen1 can't that's why it's struggling.
Oh man I don’t think I turned that on! But the option is there that’s something we need to investigate as well
Also the optimisation hoyoverse did from genshin impact 2.7 helped a lot of cheaper phones running genshin impact better.
hello Kenneth, the poco f4 cell phone you were using in the video, is the version with 12gb of ram and 246gb of rom?
Hi Kenneth,
Did you try COD - call of duty on these phones and if you have time, what were the results like?
Man im much hyped for the comparison with coolers
Haha tell me about it! 🤓
Nice video could you test codm next and see if it gets 90fps
Really good video bro and nice work 🙂
Appreciate that!
Please make a review for one plus ace, I've been saving money for that phone. Your reviews are very informative.
Wow this is next level of testing. I wonder how x4 gt would perform cuz in gsmarena it's show almost stable performance maintaining 93% on cpu throttling test for an hour. I guess that's why they don't sell it here in indonesia cuz it'll be killing this $500 phone 😅
Appreciate the comment! And exactly the X4 GT and F4 are targeted to different markets, and unfortunately Indo didn’t make the cut for X4 GT
But well I’ll be testing one soon and we’ll see how well that goes!
Selamat pagi ken!!
Great content
Pagi juga! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Good review man
Thank you so much!
This is the most detailed video I've ever seen.
Hey Kenneth! Have you tried playing COD mobile MP & BR on both devices before? I am looking for a powerful gaming device. Thanks!
Thank you sir 😘
really like the design of the this phone, not too out there yung look. But i have to ask if u would recommend the Poco F4 GT for a casual gamer who's looking for a new daily driver and play games occasionally (Mobile legends). Or is it better to save the money and get the regular F4? Als heard black shark 5 has the same SD 870 chipset
kung ML lang naman lalaroin mo, save your money nalang
thank you it is very useful
I’m so glad to hear that!
hello!!
it's been 10 months since this video uploaded. what's the latest news now? does the f4 gt fix the heating issue on that game?
or still the same?
because this year i was also want to upgrade my phone
my currently unit was LG v50 (SD 855).
thank you
Also, Grid Autosport (technically a PC game ported to mobile phones) with a customized preferences file is WAAAAAAY better on SD870 vs SD888. Handles athe custom 90fps with antialiasing with ease

Great video
Thank you so much!
Is there any difference in screen quality between the 2?
Which model of the f4 was used in the comparison?
Great work! Which model are you using for the F4? 6gb of ram or 8gb? Does the 2gb ram difference make a significant impact on gaming?
I’ve got the 6/128 version, and no 2GBs of RAM doesn’t affect gaming in any way as long as you clear up other apps first
Most games don’t use that much RAM to run, as for example here Genshin only uses just shy of 2GB max (you can see it in PerfDog overview screenshot)
In my experience you only feel the benefits of more RAM if you start to open up other apps, switching in between them (let’s say discord, browsing, screen recorder, and gaming at the same time) then you’ll notice the benefits of something like 12GB of RAM on the F4 GT for example
Hey kenneth. Could you check out Poco X4 GT? I checked and they're almost identical with Poco F4 but X4 GT is cheaper with a better processor (Dimensity 8100). I want to know which has a better camera other than the OIS. I also know they have different displays which is fine
I would go for f4 still because snapdragon is more optimized and its way better for emulation (you can emulate nintendo switch).
I hope our local reviewer take notes on how you making in depth review. Ga cuman jalan2 30 menit terus bilang smooth smooth batre berkurang sekian persen. When in reality there is something wrong with 8 gen 1 chip design.
8 gen 1 best performance can be stable without throttling in gaming phone with proper internal fan cooling system. It's almost half a year and I guess it's not about game optimization anymore...
Nice work as always kenneth 👍
Now it makes me think that I should've bought the F4 instead of the 11T Pro which I've gotten a day before the release of the F4. The F4 performed better staying at 40FPS but when I tried it in my 11T Pro it was going from 35-37FPS. Performance mode was already turned on too. Also should've gotten SD 870 instead because of how heated SD 888 can get. But anyways, great video Ken!
I have regrets too buying 11t pro recently. I should've waited a little longer for f4.
F4 or x4 gt? Help pls.
@@arvibal9472 you would like only x4 gt if its okay that it was just ips lcd and for pure performance. but for overall and if you have budget go for f4.
@@leoveluya3024 wala naman pong issue sa snapdragon 870? Nababasa ko kasi tungkol sa heating issue tulad ng snapdragon 8 gen 1 sa f4 gt
@@arvibal9472 swertihan din siguro sa unit. yung unit ko nga ngayon na 11t pro may burn in agad after 4 months sa iba naman walang ganun. pero for me mas stable at mas malamig ng di hamak kasi ang 870 kaysa 888 o 8 gen 1
Did u use the poco F4 5g the 6gb ram or the 8 gb ram?
Now do 2.8 and Sumeru anticipation videos Kenneth! We'd like to see you do some Genshin videos too!
Hahaha man that’ll be steering towards the Genshin niche 🤣 but honestly speaking I don’t have much thoughts to share for anticipation videos, just I’ll pull Kazuha for sure. COME ON 🤤
Best Gaming TWS Earbuds Review when? Jk.. Btw good review as always keep up the good work ken!😁
Hahaha there’re plenty already! But yeah thanks for watching man, appreciate you
Hello , please advise which phone is better to take poco f4 or poco x4 gt , I want to play Genshin medium 60 fps and the camera was more or less good , I now have redmi note 9 pro , thank you , excuse my English
I know it's been a few months but you need to test on Sumeru's desert. It's currently the most taxing area of the game
yeah, i have the same phone like in the video, poco f4 5g, and i got like 30-45 fps while in sumeru, there is stutter a bit too but its not that bad, and i play in medium + high settings
@@jjy7336 Thanks for this tip!
This is before they patch/fix the f4 gt right?
Selamat Hari Raya Haji! Great review as always, unfortunate to see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 losing to an older chip. The F4 GT still a good phone regardless of this flaw.
Selamat! Thanks for watching too and yes in day to day use honestly I still like the F4 GT better
@@namedkenn give me reason why , you still like poco f4gt ?. why is the performance so bad, f4 is much better. maybe you can play it with a fan I am a little disappointed because of its performance when playing genshin.
damn the hole punch for the f4 looks so good
No doubt! 🔥
i have a question for a long time. F4 GT has R1 and L1 triggers right? What's the key trigger for that in Genshin when you use it? Thank you
you can set it to whichever key you want
Aside from these 2 phones, what unit can you suggest for playing Genshin? I need a new phone for Sumeru update. 😅
Thank you.
I’ll have a new video about the X4 GT which is exciting! Should definitely watch that one 😁
When did you test both phone? Because apparently there's new update for f4 gt that improves the phone performance
Literally yesterday for the F4 GT haha and only another day before for F4
So don't worry I am aware of the update and made sure everything is in place before hitting record
Hey Kenneth. I wonder why my F4 drains too much battery even when not playing :(
what should i buy Poco F4 GT or Black Shark 4 pro ?? which is better ??
idk but my f4 gt got 54 to 56 fps in genshin impack i think because when i bought the f4 gt (not really) i asked for the redmi k50 gaming and they give me the f4 on the back it says redmi but in the setting the name said f4 gt.When i reboot the phone it say it is redmi idk what happened to my phone and i still don't know it is the f4 gt or the redmi k50 gaming
do test with oneplus cooler or flydigi bn5
lets see if best cooler can tame it
Please do Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Call of Duty Mobile tests and a few more. These videos are great and really helpful!
Great video. 👍👍👍
And it's amazing how the f4 performed compared to f4 gt, probably because sd870 is already well optimized while the SD 8gen1 still has a lot of way to go in terms of system optimization. 😁👍
how i wish! just ordered my F4 GT and will be coming in less than a week by now. this test kinda threw me off. but i love F4 GT's camera than F4. i don't actually play genshin but more on casual games like ML or COD. but still ugh
Nah no such of optimization on every each soc, 835, 845 , 855, 865 , 888 no difference performance at real life usage even after many years, just be realistic 888 and 8gen1 is the worse
I wanted f4 gt but the heat problem is such a drawback to me, it's probably not going to be a problem at lower settings but by the nature of the soc i think it will still heat up, in the 8 series i like 870 the most because how it flawlessly performs at long duration, 8+ gen 1 is currently rhe best right now, but if u think about it why even at 2022 they still use 870 is because it's so good it's almost timeless, 870 was way ahead of its time
@@nggw6792 what do u recommend then po? Planning to buy mid range phone as I only use it for socmed at mobile legends. Can u recommend a model pls.
@@justanotherviewer1282 can u recommend a mid range phone po? For soc meds at mobile legends game only. Thanks.
the voice over was so relaxing
Haha thanks man! I was afraid it’s going to be boring compared to my usual tone
this vid is exactly what i need, genshin impact 🥰!!! thank you
Stability>power.
Yes you got more power but you can't fully utilized it, i'll say sd gen1 8 and gen1+ 8 is better of for actual gaming devices with active cooling, else this happens.
This is the same case with f3 vs f4 gt.
Interesting indeed, anyways hopefully I can try out some of the active cooling phones in the future! 😁
Is poco x4 gt better? Or is f3 and x4 the same
Various detailed testing has proven this. Power usage of SD8 gen 1 is too high. Hopefully you will be able to test the SD8 Gen 1+ soon.
So f4> f4 gt po?
Yep just finally saw it with my own two eyes I was like wow 😂 It’s either the power, the efficiency, or whatever the case may be
@@namedkenn Power mostly. The power draw of SD 8 Gen 1 is comparable to very low end Intel laptop chipset. That should put everything into perspective.
Both phones are 6gb or 8 gb ram?
Poco needs to release their own Peltier/thermoelectric cooling solution for their hot phones.
Well honestly they did everything they can, the vapor chamber is huge compared to their previous designs, I think it's more Qualcomm's fault at this point that we're getting 870 again as well as a subpar 8 Gen 1
But to be honest, I'm actually excited for these 'exotic' cooling solutions haha would be amazing if I could get my hands on the ROG Phone 6 one day
@@namedkenn can you try some realme 8gen1 ? cuz i ve seen a lot of ppl talking how realme has much better cooling system than xiaomi and they can handle 8gen1 better
also some dimensity 9000/8300
@@namedkenn true. Even though Snapdragon kinda messed up, this new kind of cooler is definitely a great innovation for gaming

I'm playing it on 60 fps with Low Setts, Render is Med and anti-aliasing is on.
stable 60 fps with no issue or hi cups.
Thx for the info that's what I want it to know, I'm not gonna play on the highest setting anyway mid is enough for me and gonna play in place with ac on so the phone can last 3 years at least
@@justomar4542 I recommend all games low-med settings
Phones can last 3-5 years.
My previous phone is REALME 6 PRO which is 2 years old already and it's still working fine. The reason for the change of phone is my little brother Huawei Nova 3i he wants to upgrade with his Huawei Nova 3i(4 year old phone) phone
But still it's been this day my POCO F4 is very well responsive even I'm playing for 2 hours of genshin impact it's still perfectly stable no hiccups it's just little bit of FPS drop only(if playing after 30 mins you'll notice it)

How about highest setting without montion blur at F4 can it run 50-60Fps?
will you test both phones with fan cooler? I really want to see the result.
Most definitely! I'm thinking of buying one from blackshark but we'll see
@@namedkenn flydigi b5/oneplus best for overall sir. and coolest.
most likely 8gen1 will be able to get a stable 60fps but still eat through your battery
Is that F4GT latest firmware?
Try shutting ram extension off it was the reason for bad performance on my mi 12 pro. Now I'm getting 60 locked
Damn I just bought the Poco F4 GT. Anyway I just play with electric fan on to manage the heat.
Do you have a Poco x4 gt review? Especially the game review
Not yet, but it is coming so stay tuned and subscribe! 😁
My question is perfomance mode on F4GT is on? is the F4GT has updated to the new non limited performance software update?
Yep, all the latest updates are here, I just recorded the F4 GT part yesterday (9 Jul 2022) it's got the new Game Turbo layout as well as MIUI 13.0.5.0 update
Also yes all the performance mode is on, both in control center and game turbo (I've shown you this at the beginning of the test)
those modes dont really matter
literally nothing changes if you put performance mode on or off, the phone MUST throttle no matter what when the battery reaches 46 C°, for safety reasons (some phones even shut down at this temp)
Bro a detailed test for codm too 😭
use performance mode in game turbo only in poco f4 gt and compare
So which is better
Is it possible that the gen 1 is not fully optimized at the time of recording?
I really doubt it, the performance since this video until today is still similar
Between f4/ real me GT2 5g/ s21 fe 6gb RAM which One you think would hold Better genshin ?
Honestly I’d love to try out all these different phones but so far I haven’t so I can’t say
im still on poco f1, upgrading to f4 is enough or f4 gt?? I think f4 is more worth the money than f4 gt, what do you think?
Honestly speaking the F4 will be more than enough upgrade, but if you have the budget the F4 GT is a very nice phone, you can check my comparison video ruclips.net/video/dOWVBZXpApI/видео.html
just if you play genshin a lot you know you’ll be missing out on the performance unless you get a cooler fan (which I’m going to test next)
I plan on buying Poco F4 in a few months.
I keep reading in the comments about Poco F4 having some problems with it's camera. Can you please elaborate? Thank you. 😊

What is the ram of the f4 is it 6 or 8? Somebody help!!

Is it safe to assume that the Poco F3 would perform just like the Poco F4?
Not necessarily, the F4 has better cooling system than F3 so theoretically speaking it might drop performance earlier, I can't say for sure how long since I don't have one to test though unfortunately
@@namedkenn Thank you for the response! I am looking for a midrange priced phone that's gonna kill Elder Scrolls Blades.
