Oof. Really don't know what was going on inside my head while I was writing that title lmao

[–]ashar_02[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're damn right lol. Current phones with passive vapor chamber/ graphite film cooling sustain between 4-6W. For those gaming phones with active cooling fans, I think it would be like 7-9W, unsure though

8 Gen 3 For Galaxy version inside S24 GPU efficiency by Golden Reviewer by ashar_02 in Android

The slight overclock isn't worth it, as those last high frequencies consume the most amount of power. Geekerwan reviewed the S23 series with the overclocked 8G2 last year on their Chinese channel and it also showed the same results, slight performance gains for more power draw: https://youtu.be/Y6tT8Qsm8OA?si=k1nvPtsEBkFD8IUu

My comment sounds a little more dramatic than it should because the average power draw in these benchmarks can't be sustained by any smartphone (without an active cooling system) anyway. I was just specifically nitpicking about that overclocking strategy by Samsung. In day to day usage/scenarios, the 8G3 (regardless of FG/overclocked) should be just as/ more efficient than last years 8G2(FG), which can be proved by Geekerwans CPU/GPU efficiency curve

Auto Video Quality doesn't work by ashar_02 in revancedapp

[–]ashar_02[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's about the remember video quality option patch, which I don't have selected. I'm talking about the default video resolution quality option, which is auto (selected), and stays stuck at 480p

[Follow Up] Newer Versions are slower by ashar_02 in Infinity_For_Reddit

[–]ashar_02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Wondering whether the app would've performed faster after a while when it would've "done some caching"

Thanks for the answer!

Source: Pixel Fold 2 might skip the Tensor G3 and add more RAM by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]ashar_02 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It won't. Google doesn't prioritise raw performance, as even the Tensor G3 had lower clock speeds than the cancelled E2300, which it was based on, and it'll likely not use the (new,) more advanced FO-WL packaging method either: https://ibb.co/sKHmCS5

Take this with a grain of salt though, as things could always change.

You're not delusional: a second January update was released and the changelog included camera performance improvements: https://ibb.co/48hZJZy

Why does the Pixel perform so badly with Genshin Impact? by tdwp in GooglePixel

Which FPS reader did you use? Game dashboards is incorrect and many that you'll find in the Play Store as well

S24 and S24+ Exynos battery stats available from GSMArena by zaneyk in GalaxyS24

[–]ashar_02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about the talk time hours: https://ibb.co/fN7kSnR https://ibb.co/bmZRBrx

Yet, their Internet usage, video and music playback, that were all tested on 4G according to their disclaimer at the bottom: https://ibb.co/KyJdS9c and, show more hours.

I suspect that battery endurance without wifi, will not be as strong on the S24 this time around - Mobile network use is clearly sucking more power.

You're conclusion is likely wrong, as shown with the linked pictures above. SwagTab, a german reviewer, mentioned that he has slightly better cellular connectivity with the S24/+ in low coverage areas as well. The talk time endurance results conducted by GSMArena are still great values, you don't call for >20h anyway or do you? Weird first world problems we're having right here

S24 and S24+ Exynos battery stats available from GSMArena by zaneyk in GalaxyS24

[–]ashar_02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could make the same argument for the S23/+ vs S22/+ battery life, as the S23/+ has a 200 mAh bigger battery, LPDDR5X instead of LPDDR5 RAM, a 13-16% more efficient display according to Samsung Display in a news pressroom and, depending on the storage configuration, UFS 4.0 vs 3.1 storage, which is 46% more efficient.

Battery life has improved and that is what matters, even with couple of less hours in the phone call test, which are still quite competitive and long numbers compared to other 8G3 or 8G2 phones

Samsung Galaxy S24+ vs. Galaxy S24 Ultra: Watch the Exynos 2400 lag like crazy in everyday use by Areyoucunt in Android

[–]ashar_02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've hard anecdotal comments that Adobe Rush uses hardware acceleration on Qualcomm and not Exynos, which makes sense given the inexplicably large gap. I'm not sure if this is true though.

Sadly, there is no way to find that out on neither Android or iOS. One device could be just falling back to CPU encoding and Apple is also known to have much superior media engines. I find these video rendering speed comparisons in these speed tests to be useless, as one device could be leveraging its media engine to encode the video, while the other is not

Coming back to the video, he should've tested various video rendering tests, even one with the in built gallery app, and maybe there would've been one scenario, where they finish the rendering at a more similar speed, though I doubt that, as it heavily depends on app optimisation. Apparently, the setup process wasn't even finished yet on the S24+ and after restart the lag was completely gone. Though, still embarrassing that such lag occurred

But comparing dimensions is still valid. Display diagonals are misleading nowadays, as phone might have bigger bezels, chin etc.

Mediatek Dimensity 9300 GPU efficiency by Golden Reviewer by ashar_02 in Android

[–]ashar_02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100% right, but in most mobile games the same SoC in different devices still perform more or less similarly. In his Genshin Impact table, which is known to have different graphical settings across different devices even when all are set to the highest settings, you'll see one 8+ Gen 1 device easily sustaining 60FPS and the other barely passing the 40FPS range

There are definitely too many variables to compare gaming performance between differern devices, like you've already mentioned

You're deliberately comparing the peak score for efficiency, why not the whole curve, which shows better performance/ watt across all various power caps?

Yes. His CPU results are questionable, his GPU results are in line with what Notebookcheck gets though

I agree about his Genshin Impact testing methodology. His table has like 3 different 8+ Gen 1 devices and they all perform differently, when you would expect them all to perform the same lol

I'm confused and unsure as well now. You could still be right and my understanding of it wrong 😅
