        Hemedans, 21 Feb 2024On paper yes, in real life that soc is meh, even Gaming pho... morei feel like 8050 aka rebranded 1300 is just half baked at that point. i'd chose dimensity 6080 or helio g99 for efficiency. performance may be behind though.
        i was just curious, does any phones with that chip came with their ram stacked or separated on individual ram chip? i heard that stacked ram on cpu design is too flawed to exist. poco x3 pro is the popular example of this. if not sure, i'm okay with it.

          you have to suffer, 21 Feb 2024although 8050 is a rebranded 1300, they are sure on par wit... moreOn paper yes, in real life that soc is meh, even Gaming phones fail to sustain score, it has mediocre battery life and use too much power for midrange.

            7200 pro much better than exynos 2400 hahaha

                    justasmile, 21 Feb 2024Well the 'Pro' is there because it's more op... moreThat's exactly why it's just marketing, they could just optimize the standard Dimensity 7200 better, which is exactly what they are doing, just like Xiaomi. The standard and the Ultra model are the same, just like the Helio G99, G99 Ultra, and G99 Ultimate for Tecno, are all the same chipsets.

                    There is no reason, and no way the standard and Pro models of the Dimensity 7200 will be different.

                    "..2x Arm Cortex-A715 clocked at 2.8 GHz.."

                    Same as the standard and Ultra model. No difference, just rebranding and marketing.

                      justasmile, 21 Feb 2024Not really, the Ultra is probably like an overclocked 7200.Please look at what I've linked, it's not overclocked at all, they have the same clock speeds.

                        Classic Carl Pei "hype to the point of being annoying" marketing. Using borderline misleading information for the sake of getting the hype machine running and keeping the company in everyone's mouth.

                          Darth Caesium, 21 Feb 2024Samsung thought so with A05s, but no one would put that chi... moreOppo reno7 4g needs a successor. definitely this device would be the one if it equipped with the same chip.
                          that phone is still being sold at high launch price.
                          anyway, the dimensity 7200 chip should be equipped on a35 too. unfortunately they put last year exystove chip. which result in modest improvement.

                            you have to suffer, 21 Feb 2024too overkill. snapdragon 680 would be a great fit 🔥🔥🔥Samsung thought so with A05s, but no one would put that chip anywhere today, definitely not on a £500 mid-ranger

                              Ef Yuu, 20 Feb 2024121 Hr endurance with old dimensity 700 Hmm, I wonder why... morefabrication size, ram type and storage chip type.
                              even my deadboot poco m3 pro has the same endurance as redmi note 10 5g. it lasted 1.5 day of use in single full charge. 90hz refresh rate mode may differ.
                              it was so good while it lasted. until the corrupted update bricked the entire thing😂 shares the similar fate from poco m3!!

                                too overkill. snapdragon 680 would be a great fit 🔥🔥🔥

                                  Darth Caesium, 20 Feb 2024So you're saying that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 ... moreSamsung optimizes the cortex x core very poorly. All of the processors they manufacture that use the cortex x core have heat problems

                                      DarlingYext, 20 Feb 2024So it's going to have a Dimensity 7200 with extra mark... moreWell the 'Pro' is there because it's more optimised for Nothing OS. Not just marketing, really.

                                        Kinda misleading. They could've said 'Its not just the Dimensity 7200'
