The AnTuTu Benchmark measures CPU, GPU, RAM, and I/O performance in different scenarios
Opt for the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 for regular use, but if you plan to game, switch the network setting to 4G. It struggles to handle both gaming and 5G simultaneously. The phone tends to overheat significantly during gaming sessions, and the battery drains rapidly. The touted 4nm technology doesn't seem to make a difference; 7nm chipsets perform better. I suspect Samsung might have compromised its quality, reminiscent of the issues with Exynos. For smoother gaming, stick to the 4G network.

I own a Redmi 12 5G. Both BGMI and COD are unplayable due to overheating, and the battery drains incredibly quickly. However, I've found a solution. When playing games, switch to the 4G network. The games run smoothly on 4G without any lag. The phone heats up less, and the battery lasts significantly longer compared to when using 5G.
For gaming, I recommend using the 4G network on this phone, and for everything else, you can switch to 5G. It performs well as a 4G chipset, but its performance on 5G is a disaster. I wonder if Samsung's overheating and lagging issues, akin to those seen with Exynos chipsets, are to blame. Despite being a 4nm chipset, it overheats and lags as if it were a 28nm chipset.

Gaming Performance - 35. Sooo wrong! Gpu is much slower.
Wild Life Extreme:
SD 680 - 125p
SD 4 Gen 2 (Poco M6 Pro) - 155p
MTK G88 - 190p
MTK G99 - 345p
SD 695 - 360p

I find it amusing that its performance is just comparable to the Snapdragon 765G or Dimensity 920/D7050. I hope Vivo and Oppo don't market these chips at a staggering $400, like their overpriced Reno series with Snapdragon 695G.
I'm also disappointed that these budget MediaTek and Qualcomm processors are eliminating their 4K 30fps video recording. It feels like a step back to when we could get 4K recording on Snapdragon 665 and 720G. It's concerning that phones equipped with a 108MP camera may be hampered by the limitations of SD4 Gen 2, much like SD695G. It's no wonder some phones with SD695G are so expensive - you're paying more for a 100MP camera that can't fully utilize its potential due to a processor that doesn't support 4K resolution.

the only downside is the 1k 60 fps video
its 2023 it should be atleast 2k 60 fps

It is good for gaming? The recent release redmi 12 5G has it.

Not sure if the Redmi Note 12 R and Redmi 12 5g can't provide the true potential of 4 gen 2 or not. As for now, Antutu's v10 score is around 450000.

Huge mistake
The GeekBench score is of GeekBench v6.1, not version 5, as in many comparisons of the 4Gen 1.
