Recently, a number of digital review bloggers have released New Year's works to introduce the experience of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile phones, and the result is that the sound of overturning is endless. And interestingly, the higher the phone, the more people discuss its shortcomings, as if you shouldn't buy this one. If you really look at the severity of these bloggers' expressions, you don't know how the new Android machine has achieved tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of sales in such an environment.
So let's discuss whether the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile phone overturned or did not roll over.
First, let's take a look at what flagship phones are available.
The first type is the integrated mobile phone, which emphasizes the comprehensive experience of screen, performance, gaming, and taking pictures.
This kind of representative model, that is, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, takes gorgeous photos, excellent video, although there is no periscope lens, but the effect of taking pictures is actually not in doubt.
It can be seen that even in a low-light environment, the IMX707 will have excellent performance, which is the strength of the flagship machine.
The second type is the game type, such as the Red Devil 7, or the black shark's follow-up phone, ROG's follow-up phone and so on.
The characteristic of this type of mobile phone is that everything is for the game, jokingly saying that it is "taking pictures without seeking picture quality, you can scan the code on the line". It has larger heat-sharing plates, and some have built-in fans to solve heat dissipation problems as much as possible. At the same time, it also cooperates with game manufacturers to adapt to higher frame rate performance (which is also costly).
When experiencing this kind of game phone, all kinds of game 90 frames, 120 frame versions are flying all over the sky, the pressure-sensitive screen shoulder keys are fully set, and the heat dissipation back clip and cooling fan are also equipped, which is very atmospheric.
The third is a folding screen mobile phone, such as the Honor Magic V.
This kind of mobile phone, open can be a tablet, close can be a normal mobile phone, excellent photography, endurance, it can be said that it will become an absolute flagship product this year (also because Apple does not have it).
However, the biggest problem with such products is the output, which is currently in short supply, even if the price of the Honor Magic V has reached 9999 yuan, it is still sold out on the shelves.
Here to say that the car overturn, in fact, does not include the third kind, because the third kind as long as the hinge design is excellent, the use experience is good, not to talk about the rollover, after all, many people have not yet purchased. The overturned car that is discussed here mainly refers to the first two categories, especially the comprehensive mobile phone.
Then, what aspects of the integrated mobile phone are generally emphasized. Let's take a look at these questions in general:
Game performance is not extreme enough, unstable under high frame rate, and many frame drops;
App opening speed is not as good as iPhone 13 Pro, etc., the system is not as smooth as Apple;
There are also problems with taking pictures, the main camera is strong, the ultra-wide angle is weak, the telephoto is weak, and it is too heavy;
Finally, it is necessary to introduce various anti-human UI bugs and talk about the deep understanding of THE UI.
In fact, there are many problems here, all due to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is not that the new generation of Snapdragon is not excellent, it is very good, but compared with Apple's A15 bionic processor, there are deficiencies, such as 11W power consumption, which makes mobile phone manufacturers crazy. And as long as you are not the best, or wrong, the manufacturers have no way, can only crazy self-help.
In fact, although everyone knows that there is no perfect model, since it is a consumer, it seems that it has the right to complain. So for Android phones, especially for comprehensive flagship phones, careful people can always find slots, and generally people can't refute them. But under the scrutiny, it is not so defensible.
First of all, let's talk about taking pictures, flagship mobile phones are excellent, which is also its highlight. If you take pictures with MediaTek SOC's mobile phone, you will find that many times the picture quality is far inferior to Qualcomm SOC's mobile phone, because Qualcomm does dig deeper in the three ISPs. In fact, not only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but also the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 778G have excellent camera effects.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is more powerful due to the stronger AI computing power, if paired with a super CMOS, the video AI highlight is very obvious.
Therefore, the conclusion is very clear, if you want to buy a mobile phone that takes a good photo, you still have to choose a Qualcomm flagship model, and if you want to take a good video mobile phone, the snapdragon 8 Gen 1 model is preferred.
As for mobile phones that require good telephoto and wide-angle good, reference Dxomark, the top two Huawei P50 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra are all of this kind, and the Samsung S22 Ultra is also of this kind. Therefore, Android phone photography is indeed not perfect, but it is definitely sincere.
Look at the game again. Many people always require the comprehensive flagship to have the best game performance, thinking that the CPU is the same, why is it much worse. In fact, professional game phones are optimized in heat dissipation, control, screen, and software, which is a better choice.
The reviewer even felt that the professional game phone equipped with Snapdragon 888 would perform better than the snapdragon 8 Gen 1 comprehensive mobile phone, because the former optimized more for the game and was still a straight screen.
Think of an intuitive example, such as the mobile game can call out the console, but in contrast, the black shark exhaled the control console is very convenient, you can adjust the brightness volume, display frame rate and so on. And these in the comprehensive mobile phone, especially on the curved screen mobile phone, the performance is worse.
Therefore, it is actually impractical to require comprehensive mobile phone games to perform perfectly, Black Shark game phones have SSD disk array systems, Red Devil game phones have built-in fans, which is not a big killer to improve performance? Comprehensive mobile phones have a huge CMOS hanging on the back, as well as wireless charging coils, how to compare the game frame rate with others?
Finally, speaking of the system, this Android is constantly updated, but it seems that there is still a gap with iOS, and this comparison is no way.
So, if you want iOS, then in fact, choose the iPhone, Android fluency always seems to be different from the iPhone, especially when opening the APP.
It's like Android phones are all gasoline cars, iPhones are electric cars, the starting speed is different, iOS system has natural advantages.
Then the conclusion comes, want to buy the strongest flagship, it is recommended to choose the iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is good in fluency, camera, screen performance, game performance and other aspects.
For example, you can find that on the iPhone 13 Pro, Call of Duty has a 120-frame option, and Peace Elite has an Ultra HD option, which some gamers don't have, but the iPhone has.
So you can believe that everyone has optimized the best software to Apple, and it is right to choose the iPhone 13 Pro, or the iPhone 14 Pro in September.
And if you don't want to spend 8,000 yuan, you only want to spend 6,000 yuan, or even about 4,500 yuan, then go back to the Android phone, don't bother. Because compared to the iPhone 13, which only has 4GB of memory, many Android flagship phones will perform better.
In fact, the reviewer found that several moments he liked in 2021 were taken with Android mobile phones.
Many times the iPhone shoots well, but what makes your heart touched is more taken by android phones.
Therefore, the choice of Huawei Xiaomi that likes to take pictures of flagships, the choice of Qualcomm SOC mobile phones that like comprehensive photo performance, the choice of game phones that like games, and the choice of folding screen mobile phones that like new technologies can be done. It is not realistic for a mobile phone to achieve the best function between the size of the palm of the hand, and you can only choose what you need most.
In fact, the evaluation jun feels that the Android mobile phone has been very hard, in addition to the size of a little large, many times than not iPhone 13 Pro has too much gap, and then the screen is small and accused of small battery, short battery life, really can not get it.
From the fourth quarter of last year, the domestic Apple first, the other four are very close, have excellent products. Facing up to imperfections and choosing what we need, the most appropriate, is more rational. Fortunately, from the current sales point of view, there are still many rational users, one penny and one goods, understand everything.
