I have a SD845 device which is the Unlocked version of the LGv40 and it doesn't throttle at all in the throttle test. They should've been using the GPU GFLOPS FP32 test for a base comparison. The new Mate 40 Pro for example has a ARM Mali-G78 MP24 monster GPU and it's supposed to be 52% faster than the Adreno 650+ in the SD865+ but, in TFlops and GFlops its not. The G78 MP24 is rated at 1.089TFlops of FP32 and drops to 800GFlops after 30 seconds. The Adreno 650/+ has 1,024 ALU's and is rated at 1.2-1.3TFlops of FP32 compute. The Adreno 630 has 512ALU's and is rated at 727GFlops FP32 theoretical but, maxes out at 616GFlops in the GPU GFlops test, which is still good but, not quite accurate with certain claims. Can never really just thermals from different architecture's or process. It doesn't work that way. Though, a plain old FPS count never disappoints.

i did the cpu throttling test on my P30 pro and it remained the 15 minutes over 85% - 90% at least even with and without performance mode and it never throttled that bad like in the test , something is very wrong here ..

PCs don't have batteries and still throttle, while their PSUs usually can take the extra power draw.

Forgot to say that instead of paying 1000$ for a "Gaming Phone" to play PUBG Mobile and run some half-optimized emulators, you should pay that money for a "Gaming PC" to play EEEEEEEVERY game, take it from the Atari-era to the PS4-era!

I really hate the term "Gaming Phone"!
They call them like this, making you think there's something special about them... But... In terms of performance, there's not that much difference between them and the normal flagship phones.
Just try emulators like Dolphin, DamonPS2, Citra, etc... And you'll see that there's barely any difference between Galaxy Note10+ and Red Magic 3s.

Is it possible to compare Android gaming phones with the iPhone in gaming or general performance? It would be interesting if Apple's optimized software can outperform Android's hardware.

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2019You do realize that mobile gaming is the Future since these devices are with us all the time. ... moreMobile gaming has been around since Atari's The Lynx and Nintendo's Gameboy in 1989. . .
Mobile gaming has been living in parallel to PC and console gaming for decades.
AR gaming on the go is something I'm looking forward to, apart from that I don't care too much about mobile gaming as I got much bigger screens (65" and 32" respectively) on my consoles and PC.
Gaming in a large rooms with object based sound properly set up, and not just headphones trying to emulate this, is a great feeling. And your ears doesn't get warm. Console and PC gaming is also more ergonomic and doesn't strain the neck the same way mobile gaming does.

androidbrick, 05 Aug 2019I mean specs-wise, first 90Hz Amoled. Matters ? Of course not :)I'm not a huge fan of the 90Hz ones. Sure your menus will look smooth but for games the compatibility isn't all that great. 120Hz is better at upsampling as it better supports not only 30Hz flawlessly (same as 90Hz does), but also 40 and 60Hz upsampled to its native refresh rate.
A gaming phone should have its high refresh rate meant for gaming, not for swiping through menus and web pages.

I'm not a Sony phone user btw, Xiaomi here, but the screens of the Xperia Premiums and now the Xperia 1 are amazing.

Make this test standard on enthusiast or flagship phones! The Poco F1 is disappointing considering that younger people more likely to buy or bought that phone and play games with it.
In fairness, popular Android games are not graphics intensive such as in these tests

Gsmarena please do these tests for each phone review in the future it is very helpful as throttling is very overlooked. Key is to keep ambient temperature relatively the same
