        The data is loaded once, and afterwards strictly accessed from RAM.

        Storage speed affects loading speed when the app starts or prepares, but not during actual rendering.

        The data is not loaded from storage to RAM every image frame, it is loaded once, and then kept in RAM during all use.

        Again, don't comment if you are technically illiterate because you will only muddy the discussion and spread misinformation.

            Finally, no more helio p22 (or renames of this SoC) in this price range

              Storage type and speed has no bearing on graphics or display framerate, period.

If the phone subsystem cannot even maintain constant fps for the UI, it will still be laggy and choppy, no matter how high the panel refresh rate is.

                    potato4k, 13 Mar 2024What’s the point of 90Hz on a lagtastic eMMC?Storage type and standard/specification has no bearing on GPU performane and display refresh rate.

                    That's not how phones and computer systems work.

                      Remember the target audience, as long as it can make calls, text, watch some youtube, take photos, then it's fine for most older people or others who don't need much in a phone.

                        Cortex a75 is acceptable under 100$. I wish that 6 gb of ram become new standard to.

                          This is very cheap with said specs.

                              They seriously should stop using G85 and overall G8x series chips on phones...
                              There are cheaper and better ones they can use, and even if they have big stockpile of them somewhere... just use them for something else not on phones.

                                In Indonesia, the official store said that it will get 3 years of battery warranty which is really nice. If this comes with nfc (which I guess will not) it will be really nice for it's price, though, will still lack behind from redmi 13c and poco m5

                                  Considering its predecessor (Y02, Helio P22), this is an improvement

                                    potato4k, 13 Mar 2024Another eMMC lagfest trash. If this was a Samsung phone you'd most likely be praising it.

                                      I researched and it’s very slightly shorter (.4mm) and thinner (.1mm) and lighter (1 gram) while having a very slightly larger display (.05 inch). Consider it has faster charging which usually eats space as well. So very minor differences in dimensions.

                                        Great that we see Cortex A7x cores below $100 now. Would have been unimaginable a year ago
