Helio X10 vs S808

[Psyside]

Hi, i'm proud owner of Redmi Note 2, this phone is a real monster regarding performance, and a great buy regarding price/performance ratio, actually i think Xiaomi made revolution with this device, being able to buy 3060mAh, 5.5 1080p IPS, 2GB of ram 16GB of storage, decent Samsung 13mp camera, and ofc Helio X10 was just a dream like 3 months ago. Now we got all that for a insane 170$.

Anyway, Xiaomi just released some info about the Mi4c which will feature a S808, 5' similar battery size, and i think better camera module.

Now the main question, i know that in terms of raw performance Helio X10 beats the S808, but S808 beats in the the GPU department, how would this translate in rl performance, GPU vs CPU performance? new API's benefits? but how about feature set?

Example, camera processing, Vulkan API support? memory transfer? storage speed and so on? what are you thoughts on this?

the x10 is a super overclocked 8 core A53. its what 2.2 ghz. i'd imagine its pretty similar to if you took a snapdragon 615 and just clocked it that high. the S808 has dual A57s and a low power quad A53. I'd think in the real world the 808 is better.

yes the X10 it gets good antutu benchmarks. No you should not buy anything made by mediatek because they don't release kernel source and violate the GPL, and they are really really really poor at supporting the software teams at manufacturers so you will likely never see an update .


they cut corners everywhere. their SOCs for TV video processing on smart TVs (i work at a place that deals with these) always have poor implementations of video decoders, and of course they also never support those manufacturers too (usually 2nd tier ... like say vizio).

theres a reason most of the major brands use qualcomm and even some of the asian ones these days.

Xiaomi is offering 2 years support on their devices so i'm not really worried about that. Decoders are also fine, since i tried many 1080p clips, they run without any issues.

GPS fixing is also amzingly fast, i beat S801/S805 last night like no problem, the only thing i think about is the Vulkan API support, and usage of GPU in rl tasks, camera processing, and such...

Anyone else can share his opinion as well?
