It looks like you have to recalculate the FLOPS of the Dimensity 6080, there is a calculation error there, it can't be just 136Gflops which is lower than the g99 which has 281Gflops.

The main difference in GPU score comes from that 0.2GHz CPU boost. These Chipsets are CPU limited.

MEDIOCRE April 20, 2024 at 05:00 AM
Both options are unsuitable for 2024 because they have worse GPUs than a 9-year-old SD 820, and a worse CPU than a 7-year-old SD 845. Given this rate, it'd be more advisable to buy used flagship phones since there have been few improvements in performance for low to lower-midrange phones in the past three years. In my opinion, the minimum for 2024 would be a 695 (which you can get for only slightly more from the Poco X5 5G), or a D7020. However, I would recommend going for a D8020/8050, 7 gen 1, or others in the same or better range, for better performance in the future, and to ensure smooth gaming.

Depends on individual needs April 20, 2024 at 02:56 PM
It really depends on the needs, more than just the GPU and CPU. After a certain threshold, the GPU and CPU don't make much of a difference. However, one thing I dislike about those high-end phones is that they don't allow the usage of an SD card. Yes, I understand that their memory sizes are huge, but I just prefer to store my stuff on an SD card instead. The last high-end phone that supported an SD card was released quite some time ago.

All phones are completely disposable now. Buying used was good when they had replaceable batteries. Now, you're better off just buying a cheap new one.

Not everything is about gaming September 14, 2024 at 02:06 PM
I disagree. I have a phone with D6080. It is very usable for all kinds of usage except one. I don't play high-end games on it. I would say that the minimum should be T606 or similar. That chip is good, I promise. But if you are into gaming, don't choose low-end phones. They are not ideal for gaming for goodness sake.

An old flagship with sd 820 is way too expensive than getting a phone with 6080 in my country and getting is flagship that uses sd 695 is worse than the mtk 6080

Kelvin, My bad I meant using a mid range old phone is worse than using a new one with mtk 6080 cause of the branding of Snapdragon, it make them too expensive when compared to the same alternative with mtk 6080. Like I got a phone 128gb with 6gb ram $80 in equivalent in my country

There are no differences in gaming and FPS between the Helio G99 and Dimensity 6080, although there are slight differences in AnTuTu scores. The major difference lies in the modems. The Helio G99 is a 4G chip and a LTE Cat 13, while the Dimensity 6080 is a 5G chip and a LTE Cat 18. If you are looking for a stronger signal, the Dimensity 6080 is the best choice. However, if you are more concerned with daily usage and budget, the Helio G99 is more than sufficient.

The Helio G99 runs perfectly smoothly on Helio-supported Infinix phones, such as the Infinix NOTE 30 and others. However, the Dimensity 6080 performs better overall, boasting 5G support for all your network needs. When it comes to performance and network capabilities, I believe the Dimensity 6080 is the clear winner. Yet in terms of gaming and everyday use, the Helio G99 takes the crown.

I'm looking forward to buying the new Blackview budget phone - Blackview Shark 8, which is named after an animal I particularly like. I like it because it has a good 64mp camera. I don't use my phone much, so I wouldn't use it for gaming. In general, if I were into gaming, I'd go for the Dimensity 6080. Otherwise, the g99 is more than enough for me.

The Dimensity 6080 and G99 are essentially the same. I have the G99 processor in my Infinix Note 30 4G, and my AnTuTu score is 409,584. This score is higher than that of the Dimensity. These two processors are comparable. Please clarify if needed.

The Dimensity is over 420,000 though. I think it's a close contest, but the performance cores of the Dimensity 6080 are clocked somewhat higher. Additionally, the GPU performance on the Dimensity 6080 is slightly superior.
