GeekBench 6, Multi-core results - Nothing CMF Phone 1 with Dimensity 7300 has 2920 score and Nothing Phone (2a) Plus with Dimensity 7350 Pro has 2648. Do you know why?

    So 7350 benchmark score increase over 7200 is much lesser than the claimed +10% cpu and +30% gpu, only +2% single core, +6% multicore and +20% gpu. Gpu is only +15% if you take the 7200 in the redmi.

      Strawhat, 08 Aug 2024Because higher than usual display and bad hyperOS?Display panels could definitely have something to do with it, for example how poco f6 and xiaomi 14 civi have vastly different scores

            Strawhat, 08 Aug 2024Because higher than usual display and bad hyperOS?Yeahh alll newer xiaomi phones sucks at battery life except the base Xiaomi 14 is good.... it's weird that all xiaomi phones with lesser battery mAh have better endurance than 5k mah and above. Example mix fold 3, Xiaomi 14, 13, civi series, mix flip(less than 5k mAh yet perform better than their 5k mAh phones)

              Gsmarena is weird. They did a full on review about two exactly similar phone but rushed out the hmd skyline .

                  Anonymous, 08 Aug 2024Xiaomi with same SoC would not even be 12h. Because higher than usual display and bad hyperOS?

                    Anonymous, 08 Aug 2024Xiaomi with same SoC would not even be 12h. HyperOS is to blame here. Also since it is Mediatek, we can't make custom ROMs easily. It is a loose-loose situation for Xiaomi users.

                      That battery life for some users is definitely a unique selling point. I wish the price was £350 but there will be deals around in the future to look out for

                                I feel like this phone is pretty pointless, should have been released as the original 2a. Come on Nothing you can do better than this...

                                  How does this phone get two whole extra hours of Web browsing but barely anything extra on video and gaming? Is it the way the chipset is tuned?

                                      "Still, unfortunately, the cable itself is a simple non-eMarked cable, which means that it is limited to 3A of power throughput and 5Gbps of data transfer."

                                      Most included cables are 480Mbps.

                                        €450 on upcoming 50 Neo is better deal.
