Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro gaming comparison: big shot or stunt? By gizmochina

Generally we won't especially talk about gaming performance on a budget phone, because just like PC gaming hardware decides everything on the PC, you can DIY your console with autonomously choose components including CPU display card storage and so on, but the smartphone doesn't have such a kind of autonomy due to the characteristics of highly integrated supply chain in recent years for phone CPUs as the decisive component, the choices are very limited. We've heard quite enough of Snapdragon sixty's, 7, Series and 8 Series. Fortunately, in 2019 you probably can see better CPU competition as the MTV released their hey Leo g9 TT, and while we got their self developed here in 810 earlier, they are both positioning in the mid-range phone market about their performance reference. Both of them claimed a better gaming performance compared to the Snapdragon 730. So considering some models with snapdragon 855 some reached a mid-range price in this video, the CPU comparison selects the Snapdragon 855 and the other two rivals. The three candidates are the Redmi Note 8 pro with Hailey o g9 TT and honor 9x, with Karin 8 10 and the VIVO I COU with Snapdragon 855.

But before we move into the results, it's necessary to inform you that, though the cut of the VIVO IQ makes it a mid-range her. It's still the most expensive price level among the three. Ok, let's see what we got, the Redmi Note 8 pro and the honor 9x both used a 1080p LED display, while the IQ uses an AMOLED display as a result of display materials. The first two machines do not have the inter screen fingerprint reader. The note 8 pro comes with the rear fingerprint reader.

Well, the honor 9x has a side reader, we're talking about the unlock efficiency, the physical unlock experience, the Redmi Note 8 pro and 9x unlock extremely fast, especially for the note 8 pro every touch: click to simulate a real unlock feedback, which really recall the memory of the sliding unlock of the iPhone 4, the Redmi Note 8 pro and the IQ both equipped a water notch display, while the honor 9x is a full-screen display without any notch. Although the water notch won't cause any discomfort when you play games after using it for a while, but indeed for some people, the notch is just imperfectly right there. These three phones have a similar size. The honor 9x is a bit heavier with the weight of 209 grams for the other to weigh around 200 grams such site. Difference may also cause a bit of difference on gaming experience when users hold it for a long time to give you guys a full picture of the performance we test their CPU and GPU performance in the Geek bench 4 and the ad 2 to benchmark, and then we will go through some testing results at 4 games, which are the PU GB Mobile NBA 2k 20, the asphalt 9 legend and the minion legend right Ridge in Geek bench 4.

It still helps the ICU took the lead in the race gourd over 3400 points for single core and over 10,000 in the multi-core running and the Redmi Note 8 pro running the Hello g9 TT is pretty surprising that it is not left behind too much when compared with the cure in 810 running on or 9 X, because you need to know that the hey Leo G 90 T, is the first gaming CPU produced by MTV who are continuously making the low-end CPU products, though the multi-core performance, the honor 9x, was leading around 10% of the performance. We are still looking forward to their gaming comparison in the an tutu benchmark. The results are much closer between the honor 9x and the Redmi Note 8 pro they both scored over 280,000, while the figure for the ICO is still over 410,000 still maintaining the leading position was remarkable advantage. Let's focus on some specific details through the whole testing process, the CPU temperature on the Redmi Note, 8 pro rose for 8.1 degrees Celsius, which makes us worried about its cooling performance if we'd move on to the gaming test. Another interesting detail is that the Redmi Note 8 pro even performed better than the honor 9x on the CPU score this round, as we analyzed, it's probably the result that the Redmi team intentionally adjusted the strategy when running such specific benchmark for the GPU performance at the most important hardware for gaming, the note 8 pro and the 9xs chord around 81 thousand or 79,000 respectively — exactly reflect their practical performance.

It's not enough if we just look at these figures, so here the gaming test comes. The first game we tested is the PU BG mobile, the graphic setting and highest frame rate were both set to the highest level without surprise. The IQ is super smooth when playing match, and only got obvious fluctuation when jumping between the lobby and the match. Well, for the note 8 Pro, sometimes it can reach the highest frame rate of 60fps, but it really got remarkable fluctuations during the whole games, especially when having fight with enemies outdoors. Finally, the average frame rate remained at 49 fps, it's a pretty good result after we have seen so many budget phones that can't even reach 30 fps in our test for the honor 9x, the frame rate of 55 FPS did achieve better experience for our testing gamers.

But from the resolution detected by the testing software, it seems that the PU BG mobile did not adopt the highest resolution on the honor 9x. The second game is the NBA 2k 20. The honor 9x surprisingly reached the similar highest performance with the IQ Y. The IQ fluctuated less I. Think.

The reason here is that the 2k 20 didn't require the full performance of ICU. For the Redmi Note 8 pro still the same problem, it fluctuated for over 8 FPS averagely, but according to our testing gamer, it didn't cause much leggy feeling during the testing process. So maybe the Hello gene ID T still have potential to optimize its stability from the software update. The third game we tested is the asphalt 9 legends in this round. The first place was taken by the honor 9x, with a frame rate of 56, fps and less fluctuation.

But again the rendering resolution of honor 9x was downgraded to a level at around 720p for the IQ. The test achieved 52 FPS, which is smooth as well, and the Redmi Note 8 pro got a score of averaged 37 fps and fluctuated a lot when jumping in and out between, every single race and lobby. But it's still indicated that the Redmi Note 8 pro is also ready for the asphalt line, one of the latest games. The last game is naming legend. We prefer to call it a stress test, because it is a high freedom to adjust the graphics to a PC level with applying the highest graphic settings.

We can specifically see their gaps between each other. The IQ returned to first place with the frame rate of 34 FPS, while the honor 9x had a 26 FPS frame rate, which is also not bad for the note 8 pro the game made, it feels quite large stress and finally remained at the low level of 14 fps during our test. The highest temperatures for the front face and the rear of the IQ are forty-four point: seven degrees, Celsius and forty-three point: three degrees Celsius. While the figures for the honor are forty-three point, one and forty-two point, seven surprisingly, the Redmi Note 8 pearl has the best cooling effect and reached the lowest temperatures for both front and back beyond all the tests above, we also want to know how fluent their systems are. So overall, the results did not surprise us, because we know that the Redmi Note 8 pro is the latest budget phone with a totally new CPU.

It was designed for those gamers who may not have enough budget for a gaming phone, absolutely it's ready for most phone games and sometimes can reach a flagship level performance in specific games.
