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.

You're treating Mediatek crap like it's a MT6750 or older. Mediatek grew up ever since they released competent SoCs known as the Helio P60 & P70. Stop with the brand stigma.

Nanometer process doesn't matter. Kernel & source codes doesn't matter. The consumers don't care about what XDA tells you to do. If they buy the phone, they won't do those things anyway. Sheesh, since when you need to require a Rite of Passage for owning a smartphone?

                        Abhi Dahiya, 30 Aug 2019Xiaomi is just cheaping out with Mediatek. Whatever the cla... moreI don't think anyone is forcing this on you. Go buy what you like.

                          Abhi Dahiya, 30 Aug 2019Xiaomi is just cheaping out with Mediatek. Whatever the cla... moreSure sure in the PAST, exactly that!

                          Do you have any evidence that this will perform much worse in the PRESENT?

                          And like other have said does having a heat pipe in the Snapdragon 855 make it an oven too? Or are you biased to Qualcomm

                          Its fine that you don't like this brand chipset this phone just ain't for you

                            Metalboy, 30 Aug 2019What about flagships with way bigger heat pipes and massive... moreyou mean phones that cost 3-10 times as much as this one.

                              Abhi Dahiya, 30 Aug 2019Xiaomi is just cheaping out with Mediatek. Whatever the cla... moreWhat about flagships with way bigger heat pipes and massive vapor Chambers?

                                The fingerprint scanner is way too close to the cameras.

                                  Abhi Dahiya, 30 Aug 2019Xiaomi is just cheaping out with Mediatek. Whatever the cla... moreTime will tell!

                                    Xiaomi is just cheaping out with Mediatek. Whatever the claims, even in past Mediatek has performed worse than Snapdragons.

                                    Top that with 12nm process of G90 T and it is going to be an oven. Will be cooking people's fingers and battery instead of food. That's why Xiaomi even had to add a heat pipe to a low end phone.

                                    No outside development support either. Mediatek = Straight No Buy!

                                    They will get their lessons when similarly priced phones from Realme, Asus, Vivo, Oppo are going to sell much more.
