Redmi Note 8 Pro teardown shows a heat pipe for the Helio G90T chipset

30 August 2019
Also, a Qualcomm chip for QC4.0+ support. You can also see the 64MP camera module, UFS 2.1 storage, the antennas and more.

I had... moreYeah I think that was an entry level Mediatek Helio P18 processor inside the Nokia 5.1 so there was nothing much to be expected.. you should have tried the NOKIA 5.1 plus. It had a HELIO P60 processor which was said to be one of the best mid range processors from Mediatek at the time.. I used the Nokia 5.1 plus to play lots of PUBG..

You're saying Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G is better than it?. Certainly not in terms of performance I hope cuz then you would be dead wrong. I'm sure by now you must have realised that the Mediatek HELIO G90T processor has higher performance than the Snapdragon 730G processor.. the Helio G90T chipset inside the Redmi note 8 pro is just an absolute monster in the mid range series.. it is even being compared to the Snapdragon 845 processor from 2018. You better watch out for Mediatek cuz they are back with full force!!. As a matter of fact, I'm currently using the Redmi note 8 pro as my daily driver and it has been smooth, never a time that it ever slowed down.. flagship level performance. Then the cameras too have been a joy, they're not the best out there but they are really good with great dynamic range for its price. The Redmi note 8 pro offers a lot for its price tag ✨👍 I love my device.

        People buy redmi note series to tinker with their phone and install custom roms and with a poor mediatek CPU they will not be able to do that with poor custom rom and developement support. Only people with zero tech knowledge will buy this just by being influenced by xiaomi's toxic marketing

Without the heat pipe, the top portion of the battery would be subjected to extreme heat on extreme conditions. Using a heat pipe is good for both the processor and the battery for better spread of heat (less heat per area). The heat from the heat pipe underneath the battery will most likely to spread via the mid frame first because the battery's adhesive acts as insulator. Without the heat pipe, the heat would mainly propagate via the battery's copper terminals.

              Meizu M2 and M2 Note both came with android 5 and are still on it. You may have Flyme OS 6.2.0.1G (most recent for M2 Note - 2019-04-14), but it is still based on Android 5.1. Most recent for non-Note M2 is 6.2.2.0G, also Android 5.1.
