Impressed with the performance in games. - Shield General

My relatives lent me their nvidia shield and I got to say. Despite the Shield having lower scores in benchmarks in 3Dmark, antutu, geekbench 3, and slower day to day use compare to my Exynos Note 4. I was surprised that I get better performance with the shield than with my note 4 on PPSSPP (psp emulator). Games that were unplayable, I was able to play at full speed or close to full speed now.
Whats the "secret" to the Shield's gaming performance? Is it less thermal throttling due to the heatsink? or is it due to it's powerful gpu?

No CPU throttling, 720p screen can be the case

[Q] 75 FPS score?

I've been watching the preview video @ AndroidCentral I think they have covered the phone quite well.
There Neocore test show a score of 75 FPS - that 20 FPS more than the Samsung SGS/Vibrant.
Since the Samsung SGS/Vibrant comes with a PowerVR SGX 540 chipset (Device Magazine) which is the best out there along with 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor - whereas the Droid Pro comes with a PowerVR SGX 530 chipset (Motorola Developer site) how comes this baby is giving out a much better FPS rate?
Would like to hear your experienced views on this!
If you compare it the D2/D2G, DX, and Milestone 2 you will notice that the DP performance is better that those devices despite the same cpu/gpu combo(but less internal memory). So, from what I am reading most of it has to do with the lower HVGA screen vs the VGA screen of all aforementioned devices. Lower screen res means less work for the gpu.

This makes so much sense for improving battery life and plus what's the point on using such high res screens whereas the human eye can perceive only 200dpi.
Just a thought!
Personally I agree. It really makes me mad that I saw all these rave reviews on the Samsung Galaxy S phone's screens, but me personally I can't tell a difference between my Fascinate and my DPro, other than the fact the screen is smaller.
Maybe its time for me to see the eye doctor.

Starcraft 2 on Microsoft Surface

So the Microsoft Surface Pro is using a 22nm i5 Intel Low Power Ultrabook Processor, all models of this processor have the Intel HD 4000 graphics processor integrated, I looked up the benchmarks for the Intel HD 4000 Graphics (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-4000-Benchmarked.73567.0.html), and with the lowest model of the processor we should be able to play Starcraft 2 (and other games) at good FPS on low settings(Or at higher settings on a lower resolution)!
Personally I love this! :victory:
What do you guys think?

my acer w500 and its 1ghz c60 apu w ati radion 6290 graphics card can run starcraft 2 on low settings well
if the surface pro couldnt run starcraft 2 well on the same settings than there is gonna be a problem

What problems? And Im speaking in the sense that it is running on 1920x1080, the w500 goes at a max of 1280×800. If the Surface ran at that res, it could probobly play medium at good FPS, or maybe even some high settings.
SC2/D3 on Surface
www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=r2HLgffmTZ0
Video of SC2 working on an i7 with HD4000 graphics, also D3 is in there. One thing to consider is that Blizzard games are traditionally very CPU heavy, and less so intense on the graphics card.
That being said, do all ultrabook i5's have HD4000? Because for the desktop, the 3770K is the ONLY model that has HD4000, the rest are HD2500 which is a significant downgrade.
It would be interesting to see SC2 run on the Surface. Im sure it would be able to run, but the experience wouldn't be as great as on a desktop with a decent graphics card.

I guess it would be cool, but still needs a keyboard/mouse to play, so why not just a laptop?

Share your gaming experience with the s3 neo

So as we can see the s3 neo is well equipped to handle good graphics games
So here's the list of games i tried in the s3 neo with stock rom and stock kernel.
Asphalt 8 on high quality gfx mode (no lags)
Need for Speed most wanted (smooth)
Modern combat 3 & 4 (i got upto 60fps)
Dead trigger 1 & 2 (best zombie shooter game)
Riptide GP2 with high graphics and acceptable gaming
Beach buggy racing (same as R GP2)
GTA games (absolutely the wrong GPU -_-)
Real boxing (good)
And many more games.
So please share with us your gaming experience with other games

Overall speed

Would you say that the Huawei P20 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Huawei P20 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Geekbench 4
- Single Core: 1903
- Multi-core: 6678
Antutu v7.07
- Overall score: 207668
- CPU: 72078
- GPU: 76138
- UX: 45796
- MEM: 13655
poor...
I find overall speed to be poor considering its a flagship. For example, changing the wallpaper takes a several seconds (with the dots going around in a circle showing that the processor is working to do something). In comparison, SD 845 devices such as Sony XZ2 do it almost in an instant. I'm not saying the Sony is a better phone. In fact, some SD 630 devices do it even faster than P20/P20 Pro. Have tried it on more than 1 P20/P20 Pro and its the same. There is just something wrong with software optimization with these Huawei phones, and/or with the hardware.
Geekbench 4
- Single Core: 1884
- Multi-core: 6686

Overall performance gets throttled with increasing heat.
I find that while listening to music with a bluetooth speaker/headphones, the phone gets extremely laggy. As soon as I turn bluetooth off, it's ok...
I think it's not fast at all. Some "normal" games even jerk slightly. Since my predecessor model (OnePlus 3T) was faster.

I got a EML-L09 (P20)
My geekbench score is :
Single Core : 1891
Multi-Core : 6680
And I don't have GPU Boost update so for 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme I got :
OpenGL 3.1
Overall score: 3008
Graphics score: 3061
Physics score: 2835
Vulkan
Overall score: 3278
Graphics score: 3630
Physics score: 2448
CPU Clock 0.6 GHz to 2.1GHz
Battery drop from 91% to 88%
Temp go to 36°C(96.8°F) - 44°C (111.2°F)
Overall performance of my device get pretty good beside the fact that didn't have the gpu boost update.:good:
I cant tell how fast it is, because its my first smartphone. But I had mediapad m2, m3 and now m5 with Kirin 960s processor and overall p20 is faster. But difference between mediapad m3 with 950 processor and kirin 970 is not so big. The all are very fast in everyday use and task. I don't play games. Ive change the animation duration to 0.5 sec because its too slow by default. This make things happen faster.
Not impressed with overall speed
I have been using this phone for a week. Thought I took a flagship phone, I am not impressed. I can see it is the software that makes the system slow.
Coming from an Iphone 6S, I would say that the Iphone had much better response and sensitivity.
My wife's Xiaomi redmi Note 5 is much more responsive and quicker.
I should have gone with the Nokia 8 as I wanted to... I can see the responsiveness of the Nokia 8, even being a smaller and older model would have outperformed the Huawei P20.
The camera is outstanding however.
I would say it is ok for my day to day use, but I would not consider myself a power user, since I use it mostly for chatting, checking emails, browsing 9gag / tapatalk and some mild gaming (like Angry birds 2 or Last day on earth) when in subway. Though when using google maps it is extremely lagy... I don't know whether it is the app or phone itself.

This is because Bluetooth and WiFi both use 2.4 GHz spectrum , so it fools both antennas , decreasing their signal reception.
I have Honor View 10 and i have the same issue , so when i use Bluetooth and have enough data i prefer to use it instead.
Drops frames even when just scrolling through the UI.
Very jerky at times, and but the greatest experience when browsing through websites.
Still prefer my reading articles on my old iPhone 5s for its smoothness, to give you an idea.
