AnTuTu performance report, August: Asus ROG Phone 6 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 still on top

07 September 2022
The flagship segment is dominated by the Snapdragon 8 chips, MediaTek's Dimensity found its place in the premium segment, SD 778G dominates the mid-range.

Sort by:

hmm, 08 Sep 2022But F series started off with one or 2 generation old flags... moreI think both of you are slightly wrong.

The Poco X Series started as Midrangers with the Poco X3 NFC.
A Midranger which was above all others in terms of camera and a very cheap price. It was called a Midrange Killer at the time.

The Poco F Series started with the Pocophone F1 which was a Flagship Killer at that time.

The Poco X3 Pro, X3 GT, X4 GT are all budget Flagship killers(except for X3 GT which seems to have an even better camera than the Poco F3).

The Poco X4 NFC and X4 Pro are Midrangers.

The Pocophone F1, F2 Pro, Poco F3,F3 GT,Poco F4 & Poco F4 GT are standard Flagship Killers. They have better cameras than Midrangers but below Flagship Level but has Flagship Chipsets (except for the Poco F3 which is below the X3 GT in terms of camera) and high quality AMOLED display.

    To be honest, the way Qualcomm went with their chipset lineup is pretty bad and confusing. Instead of making as many variants as possible, they should try to differentiate themselves from the competitors (Exynos, Kirin, Dimensity, RockChip, Unisoc Tiger, etc etc) as providing Quality and Support instead. And they had a pretty decent chance to do so, with the new architecture of ARMv9.

    Here is how they can make yearly platform upgrades:
    QLC S92, S93, S94, S95, S96, S97, S98, S99...
    QLC S72, S73, S74, S75, S76, S77, S78, S79...
    QLC S52, S53, S54, S55, S56, S57, S58, S59...
    QLC S32, S33, S34, S35, S36, S37, S38, S39...
    QLC S12, S13, S14, S15, S16, S17, S18, S19...
    QLC S02, S03, S04, S05, S06, S07, S08, S09...
    ...by releasing only 6-chipsets per year, they can focus better and make each unit better in its price-segment, and using their resources to offer 3-Years of AndroidOS updates directly to OEMs and Carriers.

    Hypothetically what to expect after next year (2024) lineup can be like:
    QLC S94: 1+3+8, (A515, A730, X4), 3nm-TSMC, 256-iGPU, 2160p-240Hz
    QLC S74: 0+5+7, (A515, A730), 3nm-TSMC, 128-iGPU, 2160p-120Hz
    QLC S54: 0+4+8, (A515, A730), 5nm-Sam, 64-iGPU, 1440p-120Hz
    QLC S34: 0+2+10, (A515, A730), 5nm-Sam, 32-iGPU, 1080p-120Hz
    QLC S14: 0+1+11, (A515, A730), 5nm-Sam, 16-iGPU, 1080p-60Hz
    QLC S04: 0+0+12, (A515), 8nm-TSMC, 4-iGPU, 720p-30Hz

    Here's what potentially next-years (2023) lineup can be like:
    QLC S93: 1+3+8, (A515, A715, X3), 4nm-TSMC, 256-iGPU, 2160p-240Hz
    QLC S73: 0+5+7, (A515, A715), 4nm-TSMC, 128-iGPU, 2160p-120Hz
    QLC S53: 0+4+8, (A515, A715), 6nm-Sam, 64-iGPU, 1440p-120Hz
    QLC S33: 0+2+10, (A515, A715), 6nm-Sam, 32-iGPU, 1080p-120Hz
    QLC S13: 0+1+11, (A515, A715), 6nm-Sam, 16-iGPU, 1080p-60Hz
    QLC S03: 0+0+12, (A515), 10nm-TSMC, 4-iGPU, 720p-30Hz

    Here is how they should have debut their (2022) new family:
    QLC S92: 1+3+4, (A510, A710, X2), 5nm-TSMC, 256-iGPU, 2160p-240Hz
    QLC S72: 0+4+4, (A510, A710), 5nm-TSMC, 128-iGPU, 2160p-120Hz
    QLC S52: 0+3+5, (A510, A710), 6nm-Sam, 64-iGPU, 1440p-120Hz
    QLC S32: 0+2+6, (A510, A710), 6nm-Sam, 32-iGPU, 1080p-120Hz
    QLC S12: 0+1+7, (A510, A710), 6nm-Sam, 16-iGPU, 1080p-60Hz
    QLC S02: 0+0+8, (A510), 10nm-TSMC, 4-iGPU, 720p-30Hz

    And here is their 2021 current/old lineup:
    QSD 888+, QSD 888
    QSD 870, QSD 860, QSD 780, QSD 778
    QSD 695, QSD 768, QSD 750, QSD 690, QSD 765
    QSD 720, QSD 732, QSD 730, QSD 712, QSD 670, QSD 480
    QSD 678, QSD 675, QSD 680, QSD 665, QSD 662, QSD 460, QSD 632
    ...YEAH a little too much !

      Hummus, 08 Sep 2022X series is meant to be their performance oriented device i... moreBut F series started off with one or 2 generation old flagship CPU and was like flagship killer for 300 euro. It's still more as performance first and then other parts are where they cut corners to get the price down.

      While X series started as middle class phones killer with budget price. Like X3 NFC was selling at 170 euro with SD 732G and X3 Pro was SD860

      Now X4 gen is better then F4 gen while F3 gen was better in every way over X3 gen.
      As F series lost even 3.5mm jack on like from F3 gen. X series started as poco x2

        hmm, 08 Sep 2022Weird that poco was starting with F series as there best. N... moreX series is meant to be their performance oriented device i.e. performance is the most important thing.
        F series meanwhile is for Flagship. So not only performance, but overall package (such as camera quality is usually better in F series).

        But knowing this is Xiaomi (okay, Poco, but still) we'll see if their series will still makes sense in the future.

            Seems like gsmarena really hates Blackshark and did not even mentioned its on the Top5 that has a SD8Gen1 and only relies on its Anti-G VC cooling which is amazing too.

              Weird that poco was starting with F series as there best. Now it's X series.
              Even tough X series have 3.5mm jack so it's better cause of that while F series dont have it.
              So soon M series will take over F series too ? so F series now have the meaning that it's really F***ed

                  Oh boy, I remember those keyboard warriors a month ago complaining about the Nothing Phone (1) and it‘s crappy chipset. Interestingly enough that phones from some Chinese manufacturers with the same chipset perform much worse? /s

                    There's one thing Poco X4 GT wins over Realme GT Neo 3 and that it has a headphone jack.

                      Low-end and budget and midrange belong to mediatek
                      Flagship on the other hand is for snapdragon
