is it better than the Redmi note 7?

U should be comparing it to redmi note 7 pro or the new redmi note 8(which they both share thesame SOC)

Only difference with note 8 is 64 megapixel camera & Android one.

Note 8 Pro houses the 64Mp camera while Note 8 houses a Samsung GM2 48Mp sensor

don't mind the gpu version numbers this time around, verious tests has proved 610 on 665 is slower than 512 on 660, note 7 still packs a hell punch.

This is getting scary..

I'll want to be among the people that will order for a RN8 as soon as it's available tomorrow.. But I wouldn't want it to be what I'll regret after. I still have a RN7 (up for sale anyways) 3gb ram. I wanted to get the RN7 6gb ram version but the gurus in the house advised me to wait for the RN8.. With this information now, I'm so confused


I need assurance abeg, make una no vex

If you are talking of system updates and system app updates please do them.

But for your regular apps do the updates at your discretion.

I'm pretty sure that's not possible. It's like opening the phone, you can close it back but you can't un-open it.
At least that's what I think

I'm seriously considering the RN8 but with comparisons to RN7, I think the latter is "slightly" faster than the former. SD665 is just more power efficient and nothing more. I don't think one can play PUBG in higher settings with RN8 which is something one can do on RN7. If you already own a RN7, RN8 won't be an upgrade except you like the additional dual cameras. The price will make me know which to pitch my tent with. Hopefully we get friendly prices tomorrow.

Go to YouTube and watch PUBG reviews of the RN8 before you sign-off on your hypothesis

Please look at what you posted.. Snapdragon 660 (RN7) GPU Score is 30902, Snapdragon 665 (MiA3, RN8) GPU Score is 31798

That's literally opposite of your statement sir

Compare to Redmi Note 7 Pro, How? The only thing bigger than d Note 7 Pro right now is Note 8 Pro and K20 Series.. MI A1, A2, A3 and Note 5,6,7 and 8 no reach Note 7 Pro at all, unless u think say Snapdragon 675 na child's play

Only one reviewer and you brought that up.

Modified: After researching on your hypothesis the reason it can't play on HD + High currently according to most users is that the Processor is yet to be optimised for PUBG.

I was actually looking at camera and build quality. But even the difference in 665 & 675 aint much. Their gpu power is Adreno 610 & 612 respectfully. Dont let the incremental figures fool (not being insultive abeg) you. Its just marketing, most of these socs are thesame, just clocked differently (with root you can overclock a little). SD 675 hast faster cores but still thesame architecture with 665. I had the chance of holding both before making a choice, no difference in app speed to me, they launched with equal speed and played thesame games. But Mi A3 had better battery backup at the end, which was my winning choice.

If the difference was so much, note 8 would be using sd675 and not sd 665. But why pay more for a little more power. Notwithstanding, note 7pro is a very good phone.

Also when it comes for gaming, the note 7 can play PUBG in HD while the note 8 plays in High graphics.
It also depends if ur a gamer shall
Am also considering getting the note 8 but after the price I consider if i get the 7 or 8
I play a lot of PUBG so if s price no much difference i will have to settle for the note 7
