which is also featuring that same chipset so even though that other phone is under nda i am apparently at liberty to just crack this thing open try it out run any programs i want on it so i was not gonna say no to that opportunity we've got a crummy plastic case really nobody cares about that right now let's get this phone cracked open on the back it comes with a vegan leather uh backing material it's apparently slightly thicker than the regular i believe it's a glass backed one and it actually feels pretty good a little plasticky like it's clearly not regular leather but i'd say it's at least on par with what was it the note 2 interesting idea definitely an interesting idea it's got a 108 megapixel main shooter along with a 13 megapixel ultra wide and an 8 megapixel telemacro whatever that means i consulted my photography expert here and brandon said i don't know maybe a macro lens with a long throw is that what you said do something like that so we'll have to have a look at that it's got an OLED display that has typical maximum brightness of 900 nits and peak brightness of 1500 nits so i'm expecting that to look pretty good for your HDR contents and all of that and more importantly it's got a 120 hertz refresh rate for that smoothness and 480 hertz touch pulling so that's one of the things that affects the sort of responsive feeling-ness of the device a lot it doesn't look like it's actually running at 120 hertz right now though so let's go ahead and play around with that here yeah it's running at 60hz interestingly it does have support for variable refresh rate although i don't know what does or doesn't trigger that because i there's no settings in here for what you can do with it uh ai image enhancement super resolution there's gonna be all kinds of ai features phone manufacturers are gonna be building into this thing so let's go through some of the basics of the snapdragon 888 this model right here is available with either eight or 12 gigabytes of lpddr5 memory running at 3 200 megahertz so the RAM in this thing is probably faster than what you're running in your desktop pc it's got integrated support for 5g now you guys might recall that last generation you actually had to get the 765g chipset in order to have 5g connectivity integrated into the device without the need for an external chip so the flagship chip actually had fewer features than that mid-range chip in a certain manner of thinking the snapdragon 888 does away with that completely so you've got a next-gen octa-core design so that's four high power four low power cores you've got 5g connectivity built in a new ai engine new GPU and of course it's built on a five nanometer manufacturing process from tsmc just like apple's a14 chips that they launched with the iphone 12 series what we want to know is initial impressions of speed now back in the old days we could make significant observations about the performance of a new soc just based on how the Android interface you know navigated like how smooth it was nowadays that doesn't really fly because it's already so freaking smooth from generation to generation that's just not where you're going to notice the difference but people also have much much more demanding use cases for their phones these days than they used to so let's start with gaming all right here we go for comparison we've gone with the rog phone is this two or three whatever the one with the snapdragon 865 plus processor this so this is kind of like a binned 865. wait a minute this thing not have Android 10 much time has passed we did not find the rg phone 3 but that's okay because we did find a note 20 ultra so this is snapdragon 865 rather than 865 plus but that's okay we can live with that why don't we kick things off with a good old-fashioned geekbench 5. to be clear i'm not expecting this to be like a night and day performance difference mobile socs have already gotten to the point that desktop cpus did like 10 years ago where it's like yeah we're getting improvements but don't expect them to be total game changers from generation to generation it's gonna finish the whole test like a solid five percent faster wow including absolutely blowing through the machine learning benchmark okay so single core performance improvement in excess of 10 like getting dangerously close like 15 and multi-core performance improvement of well over 20 wow this is actually this is actually pretty huge speech recognition and machine learning both saw enormous improvements i mean that's like 40 45 better on the snapdragon 888 and then i would expect the same is probably true in uh multi-core performance actually that does kind of make sense because it's not like each core has its own machine learning optimized you know chunk of it there's actual dedicated machine learning like ai silicon on the die obviously a lot of the way manufacturers utilize these improvements in performance though is not in ways that you the end user will necessarily notice like swiping around like i said before so you might see more advanced you know image processing algorithms for example it's not the kind of thing that you can benchmark but you know you'll have a still a responsive phone that is able to take better pictures with more heavy processing on them so this is our ultra wide angle that is pretty wide it's specked at 135 degrees brandon you look so far away xiaomi claims that their that their video mode will put hollywood on notice so i don't know it's uh built-in support for HDR video capture the difference between the blue of your shirt and the blue of those tiles and videos not very much okay thank you this is a funny one the sound system is apparently tuned by harman kardon which if you guys don't know was acquired by samsung a little while back so that's just kind of a weird one to me yeah right whoa hey colin can you pop your head around the corner again for a second there actually sounds pretty good no the jutter that i was seeing in the viewfinder was not present in the recorded video so uh here i can show you guys what i mean as i was panning the camera around you you can probably see it now it's like really choppy can you can you tell yeah so that is not in the recordings so it's not great from like a user experience perspective but yeah at least the footage looks fine this video is brought to you by manscaped featuring the performance package kit which comes with a ton of stuff their lawnmower waterproof trimmer with advanced skin safe technology helps reduce nicks and

pair of anti-chafing boxer briefs available for a limited time there's a few more things i did want to run through on this puppy starting with of course it's wireless charging capability so it can do 55 watt fast wired charging 50 watt wireless charging and then 10 watt reverse charging if you want to throw your wireless earphones or whatever on the back of it in terms of i o something else i didn't cover at all yet usb type c for charging obviously there's your sim slot it does not have any expandable storage over on the left there's a whole lot of not much over on the top there's a whole lot of not much else is that no way i think it is it looks like an ir blaster on the top that is freaking cool and then finally over on the right you got your lock button as well as volume up and down what a good question brandon there is no charger included curse you apple for normalizing this stuff wow good job qualcomm for making a you know here i was saying incremental blah blah blah that GPU is a mess ton faster that is crazy it's like well over 20 faster love it so bottom line from these first impressions whether you are into this particular device or not snapdragon 888 looks extremely promising a couple things i didn't mention before that's a dual sim tray so it does support putting two sim cards in there and then finally i think i just didn't really comment on the display much uh it's basically borderless i think it looks absolutely fantastic this included beautification is just oh man what is it with chinese phones and like completely smoothing out people's faces by default i don't need to look that smooth this is the ideal me according to the image professionals at xiaomi and i think that's wow i look like a doll isn't that scary look at that skin that's not in my skin at all thank you guys for watching subscribe to ShortCircuit all that good stuff hopefully we'll have more coverage of other devices with the snapdragon 888 processor over on the Linus tech tips channel and here coming shortly so make sure you're subscribed to Linus tech tips as well"}
