I've been going back and forth from Whyred and Vince trying to decide which would be the better phone to buy for Custom ROMs while vince has more ROMs and active development whyred have custom kernels slightly better hardware but less roms compared to vince they are both the same price on gearbest which would be the best to go for.
Whyred (Reddi Note 5 Pro) is way better than Vince (Redmi Note 5 - India), with Snapdragon 636 at its heart. Go for 6/64 GB variant, if you can a few bucks more.
I recently bought a mi 11x on sale from Amazon India.Expected it to score close to 900 in Geekbench 5. googling suggested the same, but it only managed a 600. I know benchmarks dont matter much, but getting only 2/3rd of the expected score scares me.
are there any battery optimisations that mess with geekbench? I tried my best to disable whatever i could find. (i'm a noob, pls tolerate me)
Mi 11X has Snapdragon 870, right? Yes it should be around 900-990 singlecore and 3300-3500 multicore
maybe try restarting phone, make sure man's not hot
Hi and thank you for taking the time to read this!
I'm in need of a new phone like ASAP My last phone was a xiaomi redmi 10s and I was happy with it but now that xiaomi redmi 11 is out I'm thinking of buying it, is there a better one for under 250€. I basically game on my phone all the time and listen to A LOT of music but main focus is gaming like emulators and stuff like that. So can anyone help me?
P.s I'm thinking of getting the 8gb version of the phone
yes! beside x3 pro these are the best for emulators, sound is decent, screen is excellent, just don't update MIUI to 13 version, keep MIUI 12 til 13.5 release.
I'd get a Mi 10T (Snapdragon 865)
Snapdragon 870 is not overclockable so 670MHz GPU is your max
Snapdragon 865 is overclockable so you can overclock to 900MHz GPU but you'd need to get a fan to sustain that high overclock while gaming.

How do you overclock? Why isn't SD 870 overclockable? It's slightly better than SD 865, no?

it is locked by Qualcomm.
I thought that nearly every android device that’s rooted can be overclocked using a custom kernel and app that allow it , but I found out that the poco f3 gpu can’t be overclocked and if so there is minimal improvement because of Qualcomm trust zone , I know that the sd870 is already an overclocked 865+ which in itself is an overclocked 865 and that overclocking produces more heat but I’m planning on doing a custom cooling solution for it , and I don’t even know about the cpu , I know that someone managed to overclock sd865 and beat 888 , so why isn’t it possible , is the problem with Qualcomm or Xiaomi , if it’s with Qualcomm what other mobile SOCs can be overclocked ? if it’s with Xiaomi what other devices even tablets that have sd 870 that can be overclocked ? Thank you !
when people talk about overclock, its mostly about the gpu.
The sd870's prime core of cpu is overclocked than that of the sd 865.
the gpu of the sd870 was locked by trust zone, so, it can be overclocked to a limit. (Max 683 MHz)
Some lucky guys have an unlocked sd870, where they can overclock their gpu and even reach 1000 MHz if they want.
sd865 was not locked by trust zone and thus can be overlocked up to 985 MHz
its not related to xiaomi
Keep in mind, if you do manage to overclock, it is best to have a cooler when reaching these overclock levels

So it is impossible to overclock the cpu of any mobile processor ?
is the sd865 the last processor that can be overclocked and wasn’t locked by trust zone ?
can you provide the link of the 1000 MHz gpu overclock ? Thank you !
These arent mine though
credits go to @astronomy216
also from that telegram group, i talked about

Is the 888 or 8 gen 1 also locked by trust zone ?
I am not sure but i think it was mentioned in the telegram group

According to this list it can be overclocked to 855, so, i suppose that means it is locked

You can undervolt at the same time. My 870 is unlocked. I overclocked it and undervolted. So I manage more power but with less heat and consumption.

Thanks a lot , do you think that 8 gen 1 water cooled will eliminate the heat problems and beat sd870 in prolonged gaming sessions

ofcourse but water cooling is overkill
there are mobile fan coolers that have a thermoelectric peltier that should do the trick but make sure that it has that peltier, a normal fan wouldnt cool well
sd888 locked is better than sd870 locked
sd888 unlocked is better than sd870 unlocked
sd870 unlocked is better than sd888 locked
same with 8gen1
The only reason a locked sd870 is better than 8gen1 in prolonged gaming is because the default clocks of the 8gen1 is higher than that of the sd870, so, more heat is generated.
Most phones will start throttling at 45°C battery temperature, so, the 8gen1 will reach that temperature faster than the sd870
Thank you so much for your help ! I think I’m going to opt for the 865 but I preferably want a tablet for gaming , and so far the only 2 tablets I found were : Huawei (it doesn’t have play store ) and Samsung tab s7 , can samsung devices even be overclocked?

i hate samsung, they keep complicating things with root and bootloader. The last samsung i had was android 7.0, so, i dont know much about samsung.
i recommend an 8gb or more ram, i have a 6gb and it is starting to be more than 80% used most of the time
Ok thank you , do you have any other suggestion (tablet or smartphone) equipped with 865 that can be oc to 950 MHz

if they both have the same specs then it is a personal preference whether you like a bigger screen or not

You can't root Huawei which is a killer for me.

What do you think the best smartphone brand is , in terms of overclocking and 120 fps support for games even if the phone doesn’t natively support 120 fps in all games , in which brand you can unlock the fps after rooting and overclock the 865 to 950 MHz ?
best brand in general is samsung but if you want to root and overclock, definitely dont choose samsung.
The only brands i have ever tried was samsung and xiaomi (Galaxy note 5 and xiaomi poco f3)
I know that Mi10T can be overclocked to 950, idk any other phones, im not well versed in this area.
When it comes to supporting 120 fps on all apps, as long as you are rooted, any phone will do, you can just change model name or use gltools
Hey all, I've posted here before to get some opinions if I should choose the POCO F3 or another phone if I'm going to upgrade from iPhone 6plus. I've never had a xiaomi phone, but I'm interested in the midrange budget phones of xiaomi that are gaining lots of positive reviews. So while I was looking for a POCO F3, someone recommended to check out the "Redmi K40 gaming edition", as I mentioned I am not xiaomi phone expert but the k40 looks similar to poco f3 however the k40 gaming edition is different. If you have the chance to choose between POCO F3 or Redmi K40 gaming edition, what would you go for? Taking in consideration the performance, ram, display, battery, software... Ofcorse I'm not getting it for gaming only but for general uses including gaming sometimes (I don't care about the camera) I'm focusing on what would give me a great gaming and general use features and would last for 3-4 years!! Thanks in advance for your opinions. https://9apps.ooo/
I honestly dont buy anything without a snapdragon processor
K40 gaming has side triggers, so, that would be fun while playing pubg or cod mobile but the lifetime of the triggers will probably be short
After buying the poco f3, i found out that the snapdragon processor can be overclocked and that most of the snapdragon 870 are locked while the snapdragon 865 are unlocked (865 overclocked gives higher performance than a 888)
When i bought the poco f3, i bought the 6gb version, i figured 6gb would be enough.
My Conclusion :-
I would look for a snapdragon 865 phone with 8gb ram or more

The OC device needs bigger battery, extra cooling system or stock a budget for replacing dead overheating device.
