The most legendary processor I ever had on a Huawei, It's a shame it's not optimal due to US sanctions and the immaturity of early 5nm node, And the CPU Cortex-A77 is considered the bottleneck.

Maybe it's better than the MTK D8050 because I noticed my friend's Infinix GT 10 Pro experiencing FPS drops in Mobile Legends. And that's just Mobile Legends. This one is likely more powerful for graphics-intensive games like CODM, Genshin Impact, and Asphalt 9.
