Xiaomi 15 vs iPhone 16 Pro Max 1 Hour Torture Test - A18 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Elite - Who Survives🔥?

[@ChaxO7]

"SIMPLE FACTS" it seems like the iPhone has a weaker or lower clocked GPU, but overall more efficient chip and has a more aggressive thermal limit.

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

More efficient not sure, more conservative thermals, absolutely

[@Randomdude21-e]

@@VelianSpeaksTechits proven its more efficient Apple's A18 Pro lags behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite in multi-core CPU performance. However, it does manage to to reign supreme in single-core performance, while also being notably more efficient than both the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Dimensity 9400 in CPU tests.23. okt. 2024 Also there are not games optimised for android like on ios. If you check resolution in game, most of games has teice the res then what is availible on android. And why it performs better in games. Low settings in many games on ios run the same resoltion as on high settings on android,

[@mujeebhamid2670]

​@@Randomdude21-e You are a delusional. 8 elite is more efficient than A28 pro altough by a slight margin in cpu but by a big margin in gpu. But as of yet, 8 elite devices allow more tdp for their devices so they might get hot if pushed like in benchmarks. Now wait for march-apr, then every OEM will restrict that tdp and we will get more balanced performance from these devices. As of yet, they push these wattages only for benchmarking purpose.

[@andyH_England]

@@mujeebhamid2670 We saw in this test that the iPhone uses less wattage with a larger display, so it is apparent that it is more efficient. It also has temperature management, like Samsung, to prevent thermals from reaching the point where they crash and burn. Maintaining consistency is better than blasting at the start and then a slippery slope to crashing.

[@MarvoloRiddle]

@@Randomdude21-eI guess you meant to write “twice the res” which is a damn lie. The games have 10-15% higher resolution on the high end. Nowhere near twice why do Apple fanboys always make up the craziest lies

[@potatochine-gun]

okay so under EXTREME stress testing the smaller phone with a "less efficient" chip overheats more (with better scores tho), but under even demanding asf gaming + browsing it performs better than 16pm and keeps its temps on an acceptable level? Thats AMAZING for a compact android flagship, tf r u guys on about? Also the comments about the ultras getting shitty battery life and thermals is a whole different subject. The xiaomi 14 ultra literally gets worse battery battery life than the base 14 and 14 pro even that it has a bigger battery lmao. I got a base x14 and battery life is suuuper good for its size, like 8+ hours sot with scrolling and light gaming + it doesnt heat up a lot on demanding games like alien: isolation 🤷

[@HydrantTV]

an yet, when I'm out and about my Fold4 gets me like 2 hours of SoT and I need to recharge it in half of my day. gosh darn is it ever frustrating. turnes out, having 2 SIM cards, riding in a train and having some data transfer is more battery consuming than playing games or doing benchmarks in home with WiFi. phone overheats like crazy, UI is really laggy and battery... well, the phone can't last me through half of my day. same story with S23 Ultra. only iPhone 14 Pro Max was able to almost make it throughout my day. S24 (non-plus, Exynos variant) also had really good battery life compared to my Z Fold4. I'd love to see somebody doing tests of phone's battery with what I call worst case scenario. it isn't going to be stress testing, it is going to be straming music while riding in a train or a car with dual SIM and potentially AoD. modem is the thing that sucks up battery the most. and yet, nobody's talking about it.

[@potatochine-gun]

@@HydrantTV bruh what r u on? Z folds literally have bigger screens and smaller batteries than the ultras. They were never made to have long battery life ☠️☠️ s23 ultra battery life is also veeery good, idk what u were doin with that phone. + Snapdragon modems are literall efficient asf? And even tbe fold 4 is using a snapdragon modem? Hell, even the iphones use snapdragon modems. Only ones that actually problems are the mediatek ones, and thats usually 50/50

[@HydrantTV]

@@potatochine-gun When talking about poor battery life I only mean using the device on the cover screen. It is pretty similar in terms of surface area to S24. Meanwhile S24 with supposedly "inferior" Exynos chip got me almost twice the SoT on battery. Been using S23 Ultra and yeah, it isn't as bad as Fold4, but it still got pretty toasty and would lag from time to time. But battery life still wasn't the best. What was I doing? Bascially, playing local music from Apple Music, messaging through Telegram. Maybe few minutes of taking pictures and videos, some phone calls. Thats it. I'm not doing much on my phone. In my experience... they aren't the best. What I can say for sure that Snapdragon X65 or whatever chip is in Fold4 is more efficient than Exynos/Shannon one found in S22. I have also almost direct comparison between S20 Ultra (Exynos) and S20 FE (Snapragron, G781B variant for Europe) and S20 Ultra ran relatively well, whereas S20 FE was dogsh... I can't say how frustrated I was when I was using S20 FE. Worst phone I've had in my hands, right on par with Galaxy A53, or even worse. But ok, S20 Ultra was getting a bit hotter., but S20 FE wasn't cold at all either. Maybe during the days of S20 and S22 Exynos was inferior to Snapdragon. But now? I don't get why people get mad about Exynos in S24 and upcoming S25. Exynos in S24 is faster, cooler and more efficient than supposedly "incredible" SD 8+ Gen1. At least with my experience. Once again, I'm using dual SIM from different providers and I also have AoD turned on. Most of my time spent on a phone is on 5G cellular.

[@potatochine-gun]

@@HydrantTV even if u use the cover screen, the phone still has a higher cpu usage than the average s20 ultra series flagship. At least from what i've seen from other users online. As i said, its not MEANT to be a a very long lasting device, even my base xiaomi 14 has a bigger battery, and its a "compact" 6.2inch phone. Also ur comparing the exynos 2400 (s24) with the 8+ gen 1. The 8+ was just a desperate attempt to fix the overheating failure that the normal 8 gen 1 was, which unsurprisingly was made on the SAMSUNG 4nm process. 8+ gen 1 is classes better but definitely not as big a leap in efficiency as the 8 gen 2 (Samsung s23 ultra) or the 8 gen 3 (samsung s24 ultra, xioami 14 etc). Now the s24 should be compared with the 8 gen 3 and now a 2-3 year-old 8+ gen 1. Ofc its gonna get better battery life, especially when its on a smaller device + on the latest Android version, which GREATLY improves power management amd background app usage. Where the s24 exynos falls short, is in comparison to the snapdragon 8 gen 3. With everyday use they have similarish battery life (exynos lasts slightly less), but under load it gets 10% worse cpu performance, 20% worse gpu performance + while getting a few degrees hotter. And im not even gonna mention the weaker camera performance. Only good thing about an exynos, is that its made BY samsung, FOR Samsung devices, so it can be more optimized in the long run. (Thats the reason why after many updates, the exynos s22's had better battery life than the 8gen1 s22's). But what Samsung means by"optimization", is breaking your processor's kneecaps and only letting it run on lower speeds the moment it gets warmer, greatly reducing overall performance, which was ALREADY lower than competitors 🤷 Oh and about the a53, it uses a mid-range exynos chip, and on benchmarks it gets worse battery lifethan a the s23 flagship, even tho that phone has a 29% smaller battery. Nothing surprising there, just samsung doing Samsung doing Samsung things 😭 Btw sorry for the info dump, tried to tackle everything u mentioned.

[@HydrantTV]

​@@potatochine-gun hmm... That might make some sense. I guess software has to be prepared in a way to reliably switch from the cover screen to the big one. I'm actually quite impressed with how the phone swtiches from screen to screen. It takes it couple of seconds, but it gets there sometime. Yeah, thats also right. Samsung's fabrication process was just craptastic and it made Qualcomm's chips perform the same as Samsung ones. I've had Xiaomi 12 and it behaved worse than I could.ve predicted. It was getting hot absurdly quickly and the battery life was craptastic. I used the phone on both MIUI and HyperOS. 8+ is made by TSMC, so it should be quite efficient. From what I've seen on the Internet 8+ is far better than 888 found in Fold3. Yeah, kinda makes sense. My Fold4 gets extremly laggy - as I showed in a video on my channel (it might be on Shorts category). Whereas S24 was buttery smooth throught my time with it (I had it for about 2 to 3 weeks). I have my Fold4 on the latest software, I'm updating it regularly. Maybe it has weaker camera performance... Not sure. Tho differences are so small that nobody wouldn't notice them when not compared side-by-side. But it's definitely "not alright". I've been actually impressed by the S24 camera, even after using S23 Ultra. It makes absolute sense. S22 was fast until it got somewhat hot. It wasn't getting as hot or as slow as the Xiaomi 12 I mentioned, but it still was quite laggy. Not as laggy as my Fold4 tho... Yeah, A53 is also from S22 generation and this generation was probably the worst for Samsung. Heck, even SSD controllers and DRAM modules made by Samsung were getting hot to the point that - I think - Supermicro decided not to use Samsung drives and DRAM modules for a while, because they had abnormally high failure rate. My friend who also uses Fold4 and also complains about battery life and performance of the thing recently used A55 for a few weeks and he was amazed by the battery life of A55. He also uses dual SIM and AoD. So Samsung definitely made some improvements to the fabrication process. Nah, thats alright. I'm really happy you got into such details. You seem to have a lot of knowladge. I really appreciate that.

Velian told us that Xiaomi was not rendering the video on HDR, he should have tested it with a youtube video where HDR was not included, just to see what will happen, if HDR is impacting the performance or not.

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

I don't think, it's the heat that impacts it really, after 49.7... It's game over for the Xiaomi 15.

[@agj03921]

@@VelianSpeaksTech HDR content requires substantial processing power due to several factors, one of which is where GPU usage increases significantly when HDR is activated, sometimes reaching 100% utilization even for simple tasks like moving windows or opening applications. Modern mobile devices are specifically designed with HDR-capable hardware decoders and processors to handle this additional workload, but the processing requirements remain significantly higher compared to standard video content, meaning that the phone can heat up significantly and also the impact can be seen in battery department.

[@agj03921]

@@VelianSpeaksTech It looks like I am protecting iPhone on this point, but it would be interesting to see how the iPhone would behave with a standard KZbin output, since Xiaomi didn't output the HDR in PiP mode. I just want to see if this is what put iPhone on those low frame numbers in games and tests or maybe is the GPU or really iPhone cannot freely multitask 😄

xiaomi has a stupid strategy, where it gives you 100% performance until chip reaches 50 deg and then it throttles it heavily. this way you get a lot less battery and shitty perf in the long run.

Agree. And I used balanced mode, not that this should affect benchmarks (at least with Samsung it doesn't). I would have preferred to have a more restrictive mode as well...

How come? The 8 Elite has been great in all the test I did... Take one of the most powerful chips on the market, put it in the smallest form factor available and really see how efficient and effective this thing is. This is the toughest scenario, not almost 7 is nch phone with active cooling.

[@Randomdude21-e]

Cope

[@S-I-R-E]

@@VelianSpeaksTech The thermal part where you said iPhone did better. Well of course it did, a bigger thermal mass and aggressive downclocking to stay below 40°C, Xiaomi 15 had the worst case being small and a more user dependant/dominant thermal limit. I think you should consider that people take videos like these with really broad interpretation. To one guy 8 Elite might seem more free as it has a higher thermal ceiling before downclocking to the other it is a stricter/more severe result as the phone gives a somewhat concerning prompt and prohibits usage, to another iPhone is just taking everything in control never performing at peak, you get the gist of it. I get that perfect 1:1 comparison is nearly impossible but at least don't use a device historically known to be thermally mismanaged. And what's the point of this odd obsession with giving the worst case scenario to 8 Elite all the time? There's a reason why benchmarks rely on median/average scores and not something like 1% or 10% lows. Also iPhone is almost 7 inches at 6.9"

[@S-I-R-E]

@@Randomdude21-e cope for what?

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

@S-I-R-E True. iPhone has a very conservative thermal management and it throttles down when it hits slightly above 40. Xiaomi is a clear case, unhinged, loose thermals, if you keep pushing it it will work like a beast until it hits above 50. What is very interesting is that S24 Ultra has a stricter thermal management vs iPhone even with 2C more from thermal guardian but it would die at 47-50, as where the Xiaomi 15 can survive longer being closer to 50C. I would pick the Xiaomi in this case as I my real usage tests it delivers very consistent performance within the range of 3W-5W, so I guess it will do better in bigger bodies, bigger surface for heat dissipation and also better passive cooling.

Xiaomi needs wider screens. Skipped yet another time

[@andyH_England]

I have seen this test on other channels versus Pixel 9XL and S24U, and it is always the most consistent. The Samsung crashes and burns, whilst the Pixel runs at lower settings due to its weaker specs and does well in some tests. What matters more in unrealistic tests like this is that they complete the test and are stable at the level of optimisation of the OS sets, and the iPhone clearly did that. The Xiaomi burnt bright initially, but the experience degraded with time, and you want something else. So the iPhone showed better efficiency and consistency. But both showed up well, as this is a tough test with no active cooling. Those saying the Xiaomi is smaller, so this is unfair, have to balance that with the reality that the iPhone has a larger display, so it has to work harder to maintain that larger surface area. So, I would not use that as an excuse for the Xiaomi.

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

No, agree. And the iPhone clearly passed this torture test though throttling heavily and delivering 8-12FPS in the final 3dMark. The Xiaomi 15 would run like a boss with 80-90% of its power until it touches 51C and then it's game over.
