I Tested the First Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Phone! Ft. Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro

In this video, we have tested the world's first Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phone to find out if it is actually an underpowered version of the flagship 8 Gen 3 or is it an overclocked 7 series chipset. We also ran benchmarks and tested games such as BGMI, Genshin Impact, etc.
The phone featured in this video is the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro.

It would have been bonkers if 8s gen3 was a slightly overclocked version of 8 gen2 with the same GPU setup, because the GPU in 8 gen2 is miles ahead of what is being offered on 7+ Gen2 (talking on terms efficiency and power consumption) But albeit this turned out to be an Intel like move from snapdragon by confusing us consumers with complex naming schemes lmao, the video addressed my doubts regarding this mysterious chipset (thank you!!), Hoping that Poco F6 would launch with 8 Gen2 instead of this processor, although chances are slim for that to happen.

It has half the cache of 8 gen 3/2. Which makes it less efficient and it runs hot also gpu is significantly weaker than 8gen2. Both 7+gen3 & 8s gen 3 are 30k smartphones SoC.

[@sufiyankhan244]

You are right about the performance here. I agree that it similar to a midrange chipset and not a flagship one. But things to remember: 8 series processors even if low performance has advantage of flagship chips like AI features and their update cycle is way more, because of which Samsung and Google can give 7 years of updates

[@pirateluffy01]

How do you agree that it's performance is similar to midranger when it's literally neck to neck with sd 8 gen 2 with similar architecture? You do realise that poco F6 comes under 30k?

​​@@angshumansarmah6626I would agree with what @sv6180 has said, because civi 4 pro isn't meant to be a performance phone, it is actually a camera oriented phone aimed for girls, on the other hand op ace 3v is proper performance phone like an upcoming poco f6, judging a processor based on civi 4 pro would be a rookie mistake which this channel and several others are doing, though it has 6mb of L3 cache which a worry as 8gen2 has 8mb of L3 cache, but it would be wise to wait for 8s gen3's true potential from brands like poco and iqoo.
