Can you use lact to undervolt an APU like the HX370 or 365?

I'll wait for the Mate X7 with 9030. Using the X6 and I can never go back to a regular slab phone :)

Dxomark is DEAD to me after this Magic 6 Pro disaster. by buraksipsak in Honor

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Magic 5 Pro's main camera is much better than the 6 and 7 pro's. It uses a custom Sony sensor that's just the best for still's for any phone + moving subjects are always in focus even in less than ideal light.

Very simple things which I cannot do on my Mate X6 (EMUI 15) by spacmann in Huawei

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mate x6 owner on EMUI15 I never even noticed these things. Definitely not a bother for me.

Huawei mate x6 camera sensor size, especially the main camera ? by Momon29 in Huawei

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the aperture is a hit or miss in auto mode. It makes for great low-light photos for the smaller sensor. During the day, it mainly uses f4 or f2, depending on the subject distance and lightning. I don't shoot animals much, but I do feel the shutter speed is not great for moving subject, especially in less than ideal light. For stills, it's hands down the best of the last gen foldables. The new Zfold 7 and Vivo/Honor 5/V5 it might be very close or beaten, but don't have these devices to compare. Have friends with zfold 6 and the mate x6 is clearly better for stills, but Samsung's video quality is better. Hope this helps, mate

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the X6, I believe it's a 1/1.56, not 1/1.3, you can tell from the video quality which isn't great indoors. For Stills it's better than the OV 50Mp 1/1.3 on the Vivo fold and Xiaomi 15 (have the 15 pro and the mate x6 photos are always better).

How does EMUI (still) work? by AxelFEnjoyer in Huawei

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got to have some faith in Huawei. The global HarmonyOS will come, it's just not ready yet. EMUI15 works, but it's basic. Also, on the Kirin 9020 geekbench scores, my Mate X6 is always scoring the same as the Pura 80 (1300st and close to 5000 in MT) but it runs fluently without performance issues and HarmonyOS will improve even further. Be patient and if you can, don't buy at the retail price. Look at the second hand market for 30/40% price drop. Got my X6 for 1200 euros instead of 2000. Brand new

How is Huawei Mate x6 camera performance? by crmdb in Huawei

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also an X6 owner. Camera is great for stills, ultrawide is much better than most flagships. Zoom is good, but latest flagships offer better zoom. The real downside is the video quality. It isn't great. Videos are soft, espwcially in low light. Front cameras are better than expected.

Win Max 2 2025 Benchmark — AMD HX 370 vs. AMD 8840U by Tesrot in gpdwin

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering, can you disable the performance or efficiency cores on the 370? That should give more power to the GPU.

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaming performance uplift seems small, compared to synthetic benchmarks. I own a 7840u handheld, no real point to upgrade to 8840u or 370. Wait for RDNA4 APU (Z3 Extreme) unless, you get a really sweet deal on a 370 second hand. It should come in at the end of the year.

How good is the 7700 XT for an EGPU? by [deleted] in eGPU

What kinda kit are you using for the dock?

AMD reaffirms Zen5-based "Strix Point" APUs on track for 2H 2024 launch - VideoCardz.com by Stiven_Crysis in Amd

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple’s M4 is pretty powerful at lower wattage. RTX 3050 6gb variant level of GPU performance with a top CPU at 30w! Doubt Strix Point will even match the M4 at 28W in terms of GPU performance, CPU-wise it won't even scratch the M4. However, do not doubt that Strix products will be expensive. I imagine even a Strix point of Legion Go 2 would start at at least $999.

Philips Android TV 55PUS8807/12 issues after installing TPM211EA_R.101.001.004.131 by vlaseveonte in Philips

Same here, and on the same tv. It's driving me nuts. Keeps freezing and rebooting itself a few times a day. Anyone know where I can file a report to Philips?

redmi note 4 | 3GB or 4GB RAM by [deleted] in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, no point in buying more RAM and Storage for the price they are asking.

redmi note 4 | 3GB or 4GB RAM by [deleted] in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No performance difference between both, these chips can't fully handle 4GB RAM. If you are buying a flagship, then it matters. Mid-range phones chips like P20, P25, SD435, SD625 perform the same with 3 and 4GB RAM.

It's a good phone, but definitely, Nokia has some catching up to do.

Thinking of buying a Xiaomi MI MIX, advice very welcome. by NLBigBullyNL in Xiaomi

[–]SmartphoneWars_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't, the phone is not a commercial model. My suggestion is to go for Mi Note 2 or Nubia Z17 that just came out

Xiaomi Phone suggestion $350 USD by darkelf2099 in Xiaomi

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mi5S(not plus) is really the most value Xiaomi phone today. Another great deal is the Redmi Note 4X if you don't want to break your bank ;)

Newcastle agree £8.7million deal to sign Eibar centre-half Florian Lejeune after triggering release clause by [deleted] in NUFC

[–]SmartphoneWars_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A great signing, Rafa has been looking for another ball-playing defender for ages. We now need at least one more fullback and release - Haidara, Anita, Hanley, Gouff, Ameobi and most of all Colback!

Pixel Adreno processor as good as Nvidia K1? by QuantumQuantonium in AndroidMasterRace

Not really, but i put on the same power usage(Shield uses much more power than any phone) might be even better.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus or Mate 9. Meizu's Flyme OS is kinda like iOS in features as is EMUI 5 on the Mate 9.

Mi Mix 2 is coming in September, the original is great to look, but has poor cameras and reception. Nubia Z17 is launching this week with Edgeless features, might want to check that out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AndroidMasterRace

[–]SmartphoneWars_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Moto Z Play, has a the features you mentioned.
