06 December 2023
The phone has a Dimensity 6100+.

Remember when Dimensity chips were impressive?

Crazy how Mediatek was THIS close to improving their image, and now they've gone and thrown their whole reputation away with stupid rebrands and other poor decisions.

    The chip is disappointing based on the name but the phone is outstanding value, even in India where the budget phone market is very competitive.

      Hemedans, 07 Dec 2023So 3 different videos flawed and 1 video is ok? And not jus... moreExcept it doesn't have way better battery life, as proven in the other 3 videos I linked yo you. And I did saw the efficiency curves, which they also updated from a video they uploaded when the chipset was just released, guessing they did further testing. GPU efficiency is still poor though, yet you keep ignoring the subject when the poor GPU is the only point I'm making.

        ashrobb, 07 Dec 2023You still ignore the videos I posted, where battery life is... moreSo 3 different videos flawed and 1 video is ok? And not just 3 videos 2 of them from reputable YouTube channels with great record from past.

        Just from your own Geekerwan website you mention video if you could comprehend those Vcurve you don't need even video to know 4 gen 2 would have way better battery life.

        Peace

          Hemedans, 07 Dec 2023Soc being 12nm or 6nm doesnt make one suddenly use less pow... moreYou still ignore the videos I posted, where battery life is similar, so someone among those testers is flawed then. Still peace ✌️ I have no issues with the 4g2 other than the GPU which is outdated by today's standards. They didn't need to do that when 695 or 4g1 already exist.

            Swaraj7, 07 Dec 2023Y'all can measure each other's tool all you want ... moreAs if I've saw this comment for 17th time in every news article about MediaTek soc phones:



            I get it. But don't expect midrange soc snapdragon phones cost same as 150 euro either. Snapdragon is overhype if you don't even have the money, yeah I typed that.

              wow new rebranded dimensity 700 chip

                Y'all can measure each other's tool all you want but snapdragon is far far ahead of mediatek in terms of technology.
                It's wrong to measure mobile cpu performance without battery life in consideration . Adrenal always has more shader units compared to mediatek's take on mali GPU .
                And Qualcomm has never been about peak performance . They have always focused on flexibility more . Otherwise they would have smoked apple silicon years ago . And if you remotely aware adreno is based on radion GPU architecture and will always be more capable in diverse scenario

                  justasmile, 06 Dec 2023Just for your information, you CAN install a custom ROM on ... moretoo much effort

                    ashrobb, 06 Dec 2023I'm not trying to prove anything, even less to a biase... moreSoc being 12nm or 6nm doesnt make one suddenly use less power, manufacturing process help reduce power usage but it's not only factor. You can underclock Cpu to reduce power usage, some architecture use less power from design etc.

                    If you go same website then go to GPU and compare G99, G88 and sd 4 gen 2 you can see both G88 and sd 4 gen 2 GPU use less power at low load, that help at battery life, that's why you see small difference between them.

                    And 4 gen 2 slightly surpass G88 in battery life while having core which is more than twice faster is actual impressive than drawback.

                    And those video aren't Chery picked, as I told you there are dozens of them, it's a fact wether you like it or not,

                    If you want more videos I can post them, but you you cant because almost all videos agrees with me, 4Gen2 has better battery life than A76 based 6nm soc.

                      Hemedans, 06 Dec 2023I don't know what point you are trying to make, it bea... moreI'm not trying to prove anything, even less to a biased person like yourself. I only said, many posts ago, that a phone having Snapdragon doesn't make it instantly better and you derailed from that simple statement.

                      You also asked where did I see the G99 doing twice the GPU performance of the 4 Gen 2, I spoonfed you again and you did some olympics again to ignore it.

                      The T2X with 6000 mah has the Dimensity 1300, which is in another league entirely. But you're too emotionally invested to even inform yourself correctly.

                      And yes in those two cherrypicked videos the difference seems huge. But then how do you explain 12nm chips having nearly the same battery life in other videos? Or the 5000 mAh, Dimensity 6020, Vivo T2X doing better in the other? I'd say the reviewers are inconsistent within their methods and it is inconclusive to confirm the results, but given how heavily biased you are, I know what you will say. I say again, go read some opinions from real users and you'll find many people dissatisfied with both the gaming performance and the battery life.

                      Kindly refrain to continue the discussion with me. If you're happy with the gimped 4 Gen 2, then Qualcomm is surely glad they have consumers with such low standards.

                        ashrobb, 06 Dec 2023A quick search in this same website gives you all you need,... moreI don't know what point you are trying to make, it beat G99 so what's matter if it beat G88 too? So far you failed to prove any soc at that price point which is better than 4 gen 2, and you just say it barely beat it.

                        Also some version of T2X come with 6000mah.


                        Another video with sd 4 gen 2, Dimensity 6100+ and Dimensity 7020, almost 10hr SOT vs 7H and 20M, I mean difference is so huge there.

                          Hemedans, 06 Dec 20234 gen 2 is cheaper, cheaper than 695 and 4 gen 1 so atleast... moreA quick search in this same website gives you all you need, G99 GPU with Mali-G57 MC2 can be 50-100% as fast as the downgraded Adreno 613 inside the 4 Gen 2 depending on the benchmark. Snapdragon 695 is a solid 80-100% all the time https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_12_5g_hands_on-review-2609p3.php

                          The point on that video, as I wrote, is that it barely beats old 12nm chipsets in battery life. You are the one who ignored that, in your struggle to defend a gimped chipset. Another one here barely beating 12nm Helio G88 https://youtu.be/QUBS2oTm0-k?t=344
                          Again, is not like it has bad battery life, it doesn't, but it is far than it should be when you look at the spec sheet. In this one the Vivo T2X (Dimensity 6020) outlasted it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5MRuBospkg

                            ashrobb, 06 Dec 2023I think I made myself clear when I said the CPU cores were ... more4 gen 2 is cheaper, cheaper than 695 and 4 gen 1 so atleast it has reason to exist, and your own source doesn't show 100% difference where did you get it? Between G99 and 4 gen 2?

                            That video you post doesn't show any A76 based Dimensity or Helio whats the point of posting it? There are dozens of video shows Redmi 12 5G has better battery life you chose to Ignore them and post something irrelevant.


                            https://youtu.be/MetYt_XEmsY

                            This video shows G99 vs 4 gen 2 and by far 4 gen 2 has better battery life, not even close.

                              AnonF-1006353, 06 Dec 2023moving on and support stupidity? no. I always wonder, why ... moreThere’s nothing we can do about that removal on flagship phones except buying overpriced Sony phones, just move on and accept it.

                                Hemedans, 06 Dec 20231. I went to Geekerwan site -in Cpu it's more effici... moreI think I made myself clear when I said the CPU cores were acceptable, they're modern and stuff. The issue with the 4G2 is the GPU which is a massive downgrade over already weak stuff like the 4G1 or 695. In efficiency the GPU is worse than Helio G99 or Dimensity 720, and many of its Snapdragon siblings. The difference is not "very minimal" dude, 695 or G99 for example are almost 100% faster and those are weak enough already. And they're still cheap.

                                As for battery life I've seen it barely beating 12nm chipsets https://youtu.be/dc-t1ej2hcY?t=524
                                May I remind you, I didn't say it had bad battery life, just that it wasn't stellar for such a low performing chipset and "4nm" fab process. But well, it is made by Samsung after all so that explains a lot of things.

                                As per games, it is better to have Snapdragon indeed. But actually good Snapdragon chips.

                                  ashrobb, 06 Dec 2023On paper the 4g2 supports 3.1 and faster memory, but they d... more1. I went to Geekerwan site
                                  -in Cpu it's more efficient than any A76 based soc like G99, D700, D810 etc I don't know which site you use and efficient curve is on par with D900.

                                  -in GPU yes it lose to others but difference is very minimal and 4 gen 2 GPU can go lower in power usage, slightly lower than even G99, this is more important in battery life.

                                  2. About battery life, every chanell in YouTube show Redmi 12 has better battery life than D700 and G99 based devices you have link to show otherwise?

                                  And always Snapdragon has better drivers, G80 GPU is like twice faster compare to sd 665 but in real life it's normal to see 665 play games better than G80.

                                      I always wonder, why some poor lost souls have to support anti consumer practices by tech companies..🤦‍♂️ I mean you as a consumer gain absolutely nothing out of it, you just get played and even cheer on it. wtf.

                                        Hemedans, 06 Dec 2023You can say that when you compare it with sd 695/4gen1/D900... moreOn paper the 4g2 supports 3.1 and faster memory, but they didn't use any of that in the Redmi 12 5g. I don't know how people think they will deploy UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 in a $120 phone.
                                        Also the efficiency curve isn't very good so battery life is less than stellar, you can look it up on Geekerwan's site and regular user opinions of that phone.

                                        Theoretically it should be a lot better than the 6100+ we're talking about here, but given how gimped the Snapdragon is, it ends up being quite similar in real world scenarios. Just like I said, being Snapdragon doesn't make it instantly better.
