It didn’t push much more framerates though. At least the battery life was excellent.

            Can see a lot of game compatability issues using that chipset seeing as though everything is optimised for snapdragon... Thats a flop before its even been released

              Back 48MP IMX582+8MP+5MP
              Front 20MP

              Back, Redmi "Ares" will get a primary 64MP IMX682 + we can imagine at least a 8MP ultrawide and at least a 2MP macro
              Front I imagine at least a 16MP
              The main sensor is better that's the most important thing...
              ISP, AI (real perfs, not Tops propaganda) for processing are better on dimensity too...

                  Dimensity 1000 is about SD 860.
                  Dimensity 1100/1200 is about SD 865/870

Anyway,... moreDon't worry about a device with a 1st gen chipset (Dimensity 1200) as it is not yet fully optimized and not all app developers will be able to support it. Poco F3 is worth your every penny.

Mali GPUs have always had less compute performance except for the Mali G-78 MP24 (24 cores) in the Kirin 9000 which from what I read has over 2 teraflops but even then it loses to the Adreno 660 as shown in emulation. Not all flops are created equal as shown by how Nvidia cards outperform AMD cards with similar teraflop numbers. I believe the reason textures in San Andreas are pixelated and shadows in Bully can't be enabled on Mali GPUs is because the developers decided they couldn't handle it but I could be wrong but again a quick search on YouTube reveals that Exynos versions of Galaxy S phones (which use Mali GPUs) lose to their Snapdragon counterparts (which use Adreno GPUs) and have less graphics and frame rate options available in games like Fortnite and PUBG among others not to mention they lag more.

Camera is the first point on these budget and gaming phones that cut the cost as these are not the main selling features.

                                    But the more best sellers with Mediatek's you will get, the more developpers will be interrested in.

                                    But you're wrong on many things :

                                    First, you can install TWRP and tons of custom rom.
                                    https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/redmi-note-8-pro-roms-kernels-recoveries-othe.9295/

                                    Second, main blocking doesn't come from Mediatek but from...Xiaomi...it's authorized account for SP Flashtool.
                                    I've never seen such a thing on any other devices with Mediatek's before.
                                    Passthrough already exists.

                                    Please stop spreading false thing.
                                    Plus Qualcomm still want to promote patented MPEG5 and even Snapdragon 888 has obsolete hardware decoding, when Mediatek has AV1 hardware decoding since last year on Dimensity 1000

There are 4000mAh battery phones to othat mostly all are over 160mm tall. All phones today are like 6.4 inch to 6.7inch screens and some of them even under 4000mAh batteries. Never mind that this is a gaming phone so dont even hope a smaller screen as you need more screen for gaming.

                                      Btw i read that there is coming some 5.9 inch screen phone out of China this year but so far unknown from what brand it will come.

Difference is that you wont get a gaming phones with extra buttons under 300 euro that is new and not year or 2 old already
