Magic 5 Pro vs S23 Ultra - Speed, Battery & Thermal Tests

Battery consumption, speed & thermal management are the main factors to identify which smartphone has the best chipset in 2023.
In this video I will compare the Snapdragon 8Gen2 in the Honor Magic 5 Pro vs Snapdragon 8Gen2 For Galaxy in the S23 Ultra to see which one has better performance & thermal management.
The test includes 4 heavy tasks that each flagship will run simultaneously for 30 minutes to see which one will survive and takes the win.

You need to run these tests on more phones, we can't rely on benchmarks only, good work

[@IDTR]

Planning for this

[@mariuscristian2831]

Yes I completely agree, this is what real life test means. My iPhone gets so hot during the day that many times is unusable but no one is pointing this during their reviews. It is a very powerful device no denying that but is lacking a cooling system and that is a major flaw in my opinion

[@eldhosepeter6894]

Magic 5 pro battery is 5100ah and s23 u is 5000mah. That's a difference.

[@danielobioma9091]

Yes this is the real life benchmark if you ask me 💪

[@RamlyJer]

​@@mariuscristian2831 true, my friend's iphone gets too hot until he has to stop playing PUBG but another android phone can still go.. but no reviewer says this maybe because they are afraid Apple will no longer sponsor a review unit to them or money

The temperature has to be measure on the screen as well. Also to know if the the heat is held inside just compare battery temperature, that way we'll know the heat dissipation capabilities of both. Otherwise glad to see someone doing that kind of tests!

If the back of the phone is hotter ? Does it not mean that the s23U actually managed to decipate the heat better from the SoC to the chassis ? Great Video btw ❤️

​@@prafullrahangdale666 not possible,heat dissipation is at fault in honor

[@andyH_England]

That is a good question and we need more data for that, i.e. CPU and GPU temps which may be difficult. Difficult to be definitive. I would say that do not worry that the S23U was slightly hotter on the outside as Samsung are very good at thermal controls.

[@sabry000]

@@andyH_England i agree

Honor had much bigger heat sink. Vc cooling system i guess. Samsung’s is just it’s optimization. Both good in it’s way. But it’ll be better if both tech of cooling get merged

[@user-fc6yh2eq7b]

I think why the phone lowers the screen brightness because there is no activity on the screen, I'm sure if the game is actually played lowering the brightness won't happen unless the battery is low!!

[@andyH_England]

Yes, this test makes more sense. The last test was a new 2023 phone versus last years and was setup to make the S23U look good. Tests should always be fair and the S23U has the latest 2023 specs that make a massive difference, and these include: 1/ X70 modem, more efficient. 2/ Latest Samsung display with 16% less power draw. 3/ Latest LPDDR5X RAM which is faster and more efficient. 4/ Faster UFS 4.0 storage. 5/ A 2023 chip. Both the Tensor 2 and A16 are based on 2021 architecture. 6/ Newer phones always have better hardware and software. Waiting for this test when 2023 iPhone and Pixel arrive.

[@cliverosfield69]

Sthu clown 🤡

[@hibernate8517]

Devices in the last didn't have up to a year gap, did they ?🤔🤔 Don't really remember, but it was the latest iphone model so there was no other option

[@andyH_England]

@@hibernate8517 it is just that new components arrive in the earliest released phones each year so any comparison with a previous year is unfair. This is even more apparent this year as there were many upgrades to RAM, storage, displays, modem, etc that were generational, so iPhone is getting all these new components in iPhone 15Pros and we can scientifically without favour or prejudice test for how well each phone works in unusual tests like this.

[@hibernate8517]

@@andyH_England That's true, that's true. Also keep in mind the S22 was released very early in 2022, compared to the iphone and the pixel released in September and October respectively. Meaning less time for optimisation. But you're right overall.

[@hibernate8517]

I wouldn't call it a setup to make S23 look good, it was the latest Samsung phone, so it would make more sense to review it at the time, from a KZbin perspective.

[@MoAdel92]

[@udoy8377]

try xiaomi 13 ultra also

[@Mr-Royn]

@In Depth Tech Reviews I'm curious why S23 ultra performed worse than when it was competing with 14Pro max. It didn't dim the display like it did in this one. Have you figured out any reason for that? is s23 ultra gradually losing it's charm?

[@stephenfrank9735]

The workload he initiated in this round was way more tasking than the one one he used in the Ultra vs pro max/pixel video

[@EmilMToft]

WHY are all KZbinrs making measurements of the temperature externally? - it doesn't show anything about the phones capabilities. A phone that's hot outside instead of inside would be preferred to the opposite way around. So it's pointless when the internal temperature isn't measured. A warm external temperature of a phone could be because it's actually pretty good and effective at getting rid of the internal heat.

[@andyH_England]

This ties in with my thoughts that the S23U performance is a clear factor of using new TSMC nodes rather than Samsung Fabs or Samsung doing anything special. So, any improvement with the S23U can be replicated across any SD8G2 device. Ergo, performance and efficiency is no longer a variable in the choice of an Android flagship phone and anyone claiming Samsung is better are probably brand loyal. Both did really well and no clear winner.

[@pratikdarawadepratik5084]

So basically every android flagship is better than 14 pro max in these tests..continue coping😂

[@andyH_England]

@@pratikdarawadepratik5084 maybe? But only for the 0.1% that will use a phone like this. And they will be stressing their phone killing it faster than normal users.

[@josiahsoko32]

the snapdragon on galaxy is clocked ever so slightly higher on both GPU and CPU prime cores. that and that they used TSMC foundry also helped.

[@andyH_England]

@@josiahsoko32 The overclocking is a marketing spiel to sell to their ardent fans. I have seen benchmarks, and it makes little difference as other OEMs also overclock but don't make a big fuss about it. It is 100% down to TSMC, so Qualcomm has signed with TSMC for the SD8G3 and SD8G4. If Samsung Fabs were any good because they are cheaper, then Qualcomm would use them.

Thermal ... Since they both use the same chipset they both generate the same amount of heat ... How they dissipate the heat can be different and measuring a different temperature outside is meaningless because the heat somehow must go out of the phone. Significantly is how they perform in a long gaming session, that's the deal breaker.

I would advise everyone to stay clear of this phone. I purchased one brand new 4 weeks ago and it broke in the first 3 weeks after being in my pocket during a short rain storm. Honor are refusing to replace my device under warranty as it has traces of water inside the device. It is supposed to be IP68 waterproof rating but clearly isn't. absolute waste of almost £1,000 - go and buy a phone from a reputable organisation that doesn't cut corners in their manufacturing process.

[@itszify554]

The s23 being hotter means the cooling system is doing a better job at dispersing heat, meaning the internals have less heat and the phone will last longer, also the giant camera bump is probably covering some of the hot parts that are exposed on the s23 (to anyone saying "samsung fanboy" to that i say yes XD)
