In the mobile phone market in the first half of 2022, the flagship level battle seems to be temporarily truce, and everyone has set their sights on the mid-range model. Among the new models that have been released, there are a large number of mobile phones in the game e-sports category and the main game function, and the design, function and experience of these mobile phones are built around the game experience. Last week's new release of iQOO Neo6 is one of the masterpieces, this phone is equipped with top hardware specifications, as well as a special unique display chip, in the game performance release is not inferior to the special game esports mobile phone.
The iQOO Neo6 is not a flagship model in terms of product positioning, and it is a surprise to be equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform. And if we look at this kind of mobile phone with the game as the main experience, we can find that they will all use Snapdragon 8.
Objectively speaking, the current mobile phone chip market has a fierce competitive situation, and when it comes to the top mobile phone SoC chips, it is not only possible to choose Snapdragon 8. However, the game experience is not just a display of performance, but a collection of a series of elements such as picture quality, sound quality, and network connection, and mobile phone performance, image processing capabilities, audio and network, fast charging technology, and even ecological optimization cooperation, all of which are inextricably linked. After considering these factors, Snapdragon 8 is the only choice for the game's main model.
Extreme performance cap Top fluency is not necessary for Snapdragon 8
Performance is the basic link in the entire game experience, it is not equal to the entire game experience, but there is no strong enough performance support, the game experience is certainly not good, in the language of logic, performance is a necessary condition for a good game experience.
The fundamental reason for the popularity of the Snapdragon 8 in the game scene is the top performance support, especially in terms of graphics performance that the game values. At this point, we can see the difference with the test results of 3DMark, the Snapdragon 8 mobile phone in the graphics performance test score, the highest performance compared with another top chip, a significant lead of 21%, with a very high performance ceiling. Even if the performance is limited by the mobile phone system due to the temperature control strategy, the lower limit of the game performance of the Snapdragon 8 is much better than that of the mobile phone of another chip platform.
To the game experience as the main function of the mobile phone, is to pursue the ultimate performance performance, then the choice of a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform is reasonable, whether it is the upper or lower limit of game performance, there are obvious performance advantages, naturally is the game positioning mobile phone is the best choice.
From the perspective of actual game performance, Snapdragon 8 can give full play to its performance advantages in game phones and provide players with a smooth experience with top picture quality. Taking the iQOO Neo6 mobile phone as an example, in the King of Glory 120 frame HD mode game, iQOO Neo6 maintains a stable running frame rate of 120 frames in a whole game, and there is no limit on the frame rate in the game. After a game of temperature measurement, the front temperature of the phone is 36.2 degrees, and the maximum temperature on the back is 35.3 degrees, which is very comfortable.
For the game "Original God" with extremely high mobile performance requirements, iQOO Neo6 also has a stable performance in extremely high quality, and it can be seen that the first ten minutes of the game are fully open, and it is completely rendered at the highest frame rate of 60 frames. After 10 minutes, the maximum frame rate was limited to 55 frames to balance the heat, and then the iQOO Neo6 was very stable, and there was no more downscaling. After 20 minutes of play, the maximum temperature of the phone is 45.5 degrees on the front and 42.9 degrees on the back.
It should be known that iQOO Neo6 is not a specialized gaming e-sports mobile phone, it only takes the game experience as the main function, and only relying on its passive heat dissipation can not play the full performance potential of Snapdragon 8. Red Devil 7, a game e-sports mobile phone with active heat dissipation, can run a stable performance of 60 frames in the extremely high quality of "Original God".
We must admit that game phones and mass mobile phones are fundamentally different in manufacturing concepts, and the general public flagship mobile phones, the pursuit of a full range of excellent experiences, to take into account the use of various users. The game phone focuses on the experience of the game scene, and other places can meet the user's basic experience. Therefore, game phones often have stronger heat dissipation performance and more aggressive tuning strategies to squeeze out all the hardware potential of the hardware platform and obtain the ultimate smooth game screen.
Game phones should also consider support for new games in the future, after all, the top game masterpieces will eat more and more hardware performance, and only hardware platforms with more extreme performance can ensure that mobile phones can always obtain top game fluency in the normal use cycle. In summary, the reason why the mobile phones that focus on the game experience all choose the Snapdragon 8 mobile platform is not difficult to understand.
Ecosystem supports a comprehensive and all-encompassing immersive gaming experience
As we said earlier, performance is only the basic part of the game experience, which together with audio, network, battery life, ecological support, etc. determine the game experience. In terms of performance, perhaps other mobile platforms can also pass the trick with Snapdragon 8, but after considering the comprehensive experience, Snapdragon 8 is the only choice for game experience.
First of all, Snapdragon 8 supports the fourth generation of Snapdragon Elite Gaming, bringing more than 50 game features to create the ultimate mobile gaming experience in terms of visual, auditory and tactile. The latest Adreno graphic motion engine delivers ultra-smooth frame rates while maintaining low power consumption, and VRS Pro provides game developers with finer granular control when tuning game performance without the need for reduced visual quality.
The Adreno GPU Control Panel allows mobile gamers to customize the options of the game like a PC platform, and can also download the updatable Adreno GPU driver to improve game performance and get the most appropriate game tuning in time.
In terms of touch control, Qualcomm Game Quick Touch can improve the screen touch response speed, compared to other products in the touch response speed can have a 20% increase, in the e-sports game where every second counts, it can accurately swipe the screen to aim and shoot, and the shoulder button and pressure-sensitive screen of the game phone are combined to show the operation of the clouds and flowing water.
In the immersive audio experience, the Snapdragon 8's built-in FastConnect 6900 mobile connection system supports Snapdragon Sound Snapdragon Listening Technology, which has end-to-end technical support when connecting with Bluetooth headsets using Qualcomm solutions, providing CD-quality lossless music and active noise reduction. Used in the game, there is also a dedicated low latency mode that provides ultra-low latency of up to 40ms for zero-latency hearing comparable to wired headphones.
In terms of network support, Snapdragon 8 provides full 5G band support, fully compatible with Wi-Fi 6 networks on Wi-Fi networks, and Qualcomm solution routers can also achieve end-to-end Wi-Fi 6 enhanced technical support, real-time dual-band network technology can also back up multiple Wi-Fi networks and mobile networks, even if the network failure can keep the game from dropping.
Write at the end
Snapdragon has been working in mobile games for many years, has a lot of technical accumulation, and has in-depth cooperation with the game industry and many participants, which can provide a full range of ultimate game experience.
If you only stand from the perspective of gamers, the game phone of the Snapdragon mobile platform also makes people more trusted, after all, the Snapdragon has been tested by the market for many years, and there are still doubts about the game phones of other platforms, perhaps this is also an important reason why mobile phone manufacturers choose the Snapdragon mobile platform.
