I was planning to buy one to try 90Hz screen but stopped after I watched a youtube video about the soc throttling while playing pubg. I think they should have used 10nm or lower in 2020.

Well, I dont think it is a very powerful GPU. It is defintely up to date though. It uses the same Mali G76 GPU that Samsung (S10 & Note 10) and Huawei (P30 and Mate30) used but with less core. It only has 4 cores compared to 10 cores on Kirin 980 (I think its 16 cores with Kirin990) and 12 cores on Exynos 9820 (S10/Note10).

Samsung already moved on to G77 and possibly custom GPU based on RDNA next year. Huawei still using G76 for whatever reason with a much higher GPU cores count.

Attached the video from Redmi Note8 Pro which also uses G90T soc and you'll get a better picture. I also use my phone to play 王者荣耀 which seem not affected by throttling but I cannot commit since it showed apparent throttling with PUBG although I dont play that game.

12nm vs 8nm

So the interest in Realme6 is out of steam liao??

Anyway, for those who are planning to purchase one, you might want to wait for a little longer now because....

Now they are bumping the ram to 8GB... buyer will be pissed...

I dont think so.

Actually I saw some videos by Indian Youtubers and they were highlighting Realme 6 Pro which is based on G90T with 8GB ram. I think they might just be unveiled as Realme 6 Pro with a higher pricetag.

I just rechecked Realme India page and they list the 8GB as normal Realme 6. Maybe the youtuber is wrong.

Speaking of gaming, did you read the rumoured Samsung RDNA benchmark? Fuh... I really hope it's true. Destroyed Adreno 650. More than 2x faster.

No one reported it as it was leaked by iceuniverse. Only wfdtech did a brief report. No screenshot too.

I think battery drain when idle is always there since a long time ago but got worse recently when they tried their custom cpu.

I'm just surprised that they lost all their lead with their custom big core when ARM released A77.

Do you still have the S9+? Not sure what they did with it but recent firmware upgrade, battery life improved quite significantly. Now I only get sharp drop when gaming.

WTF?

For 1K, you can buy Honor20 with Kirin980 liao. 2 extra A76 votes plus 6 extra G76 cores on 7nm vs their 12nm shit.

At least Honor20 is a flagship and will get few updates. Not so sure about low mid range phone.

Even Realme official site messed up. I wonder how many people click the RM899 to buy Realme 6. I thought they released a new colour but when click on video, it said 6i. What a bummer.

The codes only work on X2 Pro and Realme 6.

Honestly people buy too much shit with iOS app optimisation.

Apple has been using the best SoC since the beginning. GPU rendering long before Android implemented them. If gaming, yeah, I would believe there is some difference can be achieved but normal apps, nah.

If you dont know what it is, it probably wont matter to you anyway.

It just the screen refresh rate. Normally screen would refresh at 60Hz but some brands are using higher refresh screen like 90/120/144Hz screen which will make the animation smoother. However it all depends on how good your eyes are.

Yeah, I think they realized they had no competition at this price point unless others cut price.

The difference should be quite apparent but since youtube videos are mostly 30/60fps, you can't see it if they dont slow it down.

Why not try K30 5G? Considering to buy from Taobao. RM1.2k imported, not sure about extra charges like Sirim.

120hz Snapdragon 765 with same gpu as Snapdragon 835.

Top up RM300 and get Lenovo Z6 Pro even better...

Wow... now this is a proper flagship killer. The fingerprint sensor is a bit disappointing though. Will it be like X2 pro sale?

Meanwhile I just bought the Lenovo Z6 Pro for 1199.
