After the New Year's holiday, we had a performance comparison for moto edge X30, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, True Self GT2 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro and iQOO 9 Pro, five flagship phones with a new generation of Snapdragon 8, and the specific conclusion was detailed in "Whose "Dragon Trainer" Level is Higher?" 5 new generation Snapdragon 8 games comparison test" article.
A month has passed since that time, during which a number of manufacturers have released their flagship mobile phones equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8, including OPPO Find X5 Pro, Redmi K50 Esports Edition, Savior Y90 Esports Phones and Nubia Z40 Pro. So on the basis of the previous test, we counted the data of these four new machines - we still used "Original God" for two rounds of testing, from the frame rate, SoC call rate and mobile phone surface temperature three dimensions to consider.
The first round was also a 30-minute stress test, and the scene was chosen in the main city of Inari.
In this scene after updating the data, the average frame rate of the 9 phones is arranged from highest to lowest: the Savior Y90 gaming phone (60.15 frames), the Nubia Z40 Pro (60.01 frames), the True Self GT2 Pro (59.55 frames), the Redmi K50 Esports Edition (59.05 frames), the moto edge X30 (59.03 frames), the iQOO 9 Pro (57.38 frames), the OnePlus 10 Pro (56.98 frames), and the OPPO Find X5 Pro (51.58 frames), Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro (49.67 frames).
Among the four new mobile phones added, the overall performance release of the OPPO Find X5 Pro is the most conservative: the main frequency is maintained at a maximum of 2.0GHz in the first 15 minutes, and the frequency is reduced to 1.5GHz after 15 minutes. This also led to a more pronounced frame rate drop on the phone after 15 minutes, maintaining at around 52 frames.
The performance release of the Nubia Z40 Pro is obviously more aggressive, but in the whole test process, the main frequency of the mobile phone has dropped a total of 3 times, and in the first 5 minutes, the mobile phone is full of fire, and the main frequency runs to 3.0GHz; then the frequency reduction begins, and finally the main frequency remains at 1.5GHz.
The Redmi K50 esports edition also opted for a very aggressive performance-release strategy, with the phone dropping from 2.99GHz to 2.84GHz at about 5 minutes, and the frame rate remaining at full frames for 60 frames before 15 minutes and down to 58 frames after 15 minutes.
The Savior Y90 e-sports phone with a built-in fan maintains a high frequency of 2.85GHz throughout the journey, which can be said to be a ride in the dust of 9 mobile phones.
In the case of shanghai indoor temperature is only less than 15 ° C, we immediately after the end of the test using a temperature gun to measure the surface temperature of the mobile phone, OPPO Find X5 Pro screen is 36.8 ° C, the battery center is 31.4 ° C, SoC is 37.5 ° C, the maximum frame temperature is 33.0 ° C, and a certain amount of heat can be felt when handheld.
Nubia Z40 Pro screen is 35.8 °C, the center of the battery is 34.0 °C, the SoC is 41.5 °C, the maximum frame temperature is 38.2 °C, and the heat can be felt more obviously when handheld.
The Redmi K50 Esports Edition has a screen of 37.5°C, a center of 33.0°C at the battery, 41.5°C at the SoC, and a maximum bezel temperature of 36.6°C. The heat can be felt more obviously when handheld.
The Rescuer Y90 esports phone has 37.7 °C at the screen, 31.2 °C on the right side of the back, 31.0 °C at the SoC, and 33.5 °C on the left side, and only feels warm when held, which is really amazing.
Combined with the test of the previous 5 mobile phones, we can still see that in addition to the rescuer Y90 e-sports mobile phone, the surface temperature arrangement of the remaining 8 mobile phones is basically linked to the average frame number, and the SoC temperature of the 5 mobile phones that are close to full frame operation is basically around 40 ° C; and the OnePlus 10 Pro, OPPO Find X5 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro that can not run at full frame can indeed bring better somatosensory temperature.
But the savior Y90 esports phone not only brings the most stable performance release, the highest average frame rate, but also brings only higher than the surface temperature of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, can only say the active cooling system YYDS.
Then we started a 5-minute live test session, and how did the four new machines perform while constantly switching roles and releasing skills?
At this time, the actual game average frame rate has changed from the previous stress test, from high to low, the Savior Y90 esports phone (60.15 frames), nubia Z40 Pro (58.68 frames), the true self GT2 Pro (58.14 frames), the Redmi K50 esports edition (55.54 frames), OPPO Find X5 Pro (53.27 frames), the OnePlus 10 Pro (51.68 frames), the iQOO 9 Pro (50.6 frames), and the moto Edge X30 (48.08 frames) and Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro (44.56 frames).
One of the more interesting is the OPPO Find X5 Pro, which should be due to our actual testing link taking into account the use scenario of the mobile game, only 5 minutes of testing, so it did not touch the temperature /power wall, and the average frame rate of the mobile phone was even higher than the previous stress test frame rate (2 frames high).
The number of stutters (stuttering/hour, the lower the better) from low to high are OPPO Find X5 Pro (46), Nubia Z40 Pro (48), Savior Y90 esports phone (55), iQOO 9 Pro (96), True Me GT2 Pro (227), Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro (251), OnePlus 10 Pro (326), Redmi K50 Esports Edition (404) and Moto Edge X30 (494).
Considering the existence of test errors, oppo Find X5 Pro, Nubia Z40 Pro and Savior Y90 esports phones performed basically the same, and you will hardly feel the obvious stuttering, which is the best performance among the 9 mobile phones.
The worst dropped frames (lower the better) from lowest to highest are the Savior Y90 esports phone (8 frames), Nubia Z40 Pro (14 frames), iQOO 9 Pro (18 frames), OPPO Find X5 Pro (20 frames), True Me GT2 Pro (21 frames), OnePlus 10 Pro (22 frames), Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro (29 frames), moto edge X30 (41 frames), and Redmi K50 esports Edition (53 frames).
As we've concluded before, if you want a higher game frame rate, fewer stutters, and lower worst-of-frame drops, you have to stick to a more aggressive SoC performance release strategy; aggressive performance releases lead to higher heat and hotter phone surfaces. It can be said that under the current circumstances, it is basically a dream to want a mobile phone with low temperature, high frame rate, and no active heat dissipation.
The Savior Y90 esports phone shows us with facts how stable and powerful the mobile phone can bring with it when the new 1st generation Snapdragon 8 can be fully invoked, of course, at the cost of the additional power consumption and noisy wind noise brought by the active cooling system.
If you exclude some "cheating" rescuer Y90 e-sports mobile phones, on the whole, the real self GT2 Pro, Nubia Z40 Pro, Redmi K50 e-sports version and OPPO Find X5 Pro that have opened the GT mode are indeed good choices, and these performance release radical mobile phones with heat dissipation back clips can basically be close to the level of the rescuer Y90 e-sports phones.
If you pay more attention to the temperature at the time of use, then the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, which has a very conservative performance release, is still a good choice, compared to friends generally have a temperature advantage of 10 ° C, and the stuttering situation and the worst dropped frame are still within the acceptable range. As for whether to exchange the average frame rate difference of 13 frames for this 10 ° C surface temperature drop, it depends on the choices of players.
Considering that the mobile phones equipped with Tianji 9000 and 8100 are about to be released, and the Black Shark 5 series next door is theoretically not far away, what kind of spark these new functions that have not yet been released can bring to the Android camp Let's wait and see
