Let me break it down bro.

Firstly, the chipset is built on 11mn fabrication to make it battery efficient which they also underclock the cpu to make this happen but in reality rn8 battery last like 2800mah battery. I don't see anything that makes rn8 sd 665 battery efficient

Secondly, in terms of raw performance just don't near sd 665 in RN8 is crap. Just make me think they put this processor in the phone just to incorporate the quad camera. Who cares about camera?

Thirdly. The processor wouldn't recieve long term support due to the fact that it's underclocked and not a powerful processor.

lastly if you tweak your phone alot and you are a hardcore gamer just go for SD 675 upward if your budget is for a midrange phone.

Pls no ominiknowet should quote me. I come in peace

OH! Okay! I think I get your point though especially the battery performance. I also feel it's underperforming for a 4000mAh but I'd blame Xiaomi for that. I used to have better SOT and battery backup before one whack update came and destabilised things and now my SOT has dropped significantly.

I'm not sure about the "raw performance" though but of you're talking in terms of gaming, I'd say optimisation is the problem...for now. I'm not trying to create an excuse for the chip but from what I've gathered, optimization has been the tune on the lips of most people complaining.

You said hardcore gamer. LOL. Looks like you're expecting 665 to give you an 865 feel. That's not possible. I played Pes20 on someone's Mi9T and the difference is clear as day. 665 is not a gaming chip so I'm not expecting it to give heavenly and Blackshark gaming experience. It's pretty decent for most other things but then MIUI optimization kills some apps in background when you sleep your phone.

My only cons so far are battery and game optimization.

I think you raised the bar too high. For real.

Yeah bro I often acknowledge I raise the bar too high. At least thank God for the first time someone using note 8 agrees with me on the battery and game optimisation. My expectation on sd665 gaming was just way too high but I have to accept the reality. You are most welcome bro

Do you know that Xiaomi had to pay for development to take off on the RN8 PRO, there was initially no hope of a working GCam initially on that device. And it is still very difficult to get a stable GCam from other Modders apart for wyroczen on that device. RN7 and RN8 are spurred of choices of GCam, be it parrot, urynx, jairo Rossi, Rz_end, BSG, etc

Been using this device for 2 weeks and so far so good it has exceeded my expectations to be honest.
The speed at which my tasks run and apps open are what trips me the most.
I pray they don't lose their way and get bigger than this honestly.
