This is good for parents or elder people And someone who too busy at job, never play any game, using phone only for browsing, chatting, and watch video Then this was good choice Basic phone? Yes. But are you really have so much time for gaming? If you have proper job, you almost have no spare time for game so The one who protest is the one who has no job or unemployed...

The CPU is quite good, but the GPU is too much of a holding back performance on 4x Cortex-A73 at such a high frequency, If the Adreno 613 were here, it should be fine enough without too much compromise.

Idk where the 128 Shaders and the 1260MHz GPU clock go whenever there's a GPU task. On papers the GPU is actually hella strong but that doesn't somehow work irl.

Unisoc T820 kills this processor also Helio G100 and G99 are better than this crap that's why Samsung, Xioami and Realme still giving better Mediatek chips while Some Oppo and many Vivo phones comes with this bad processor called Snapdragon 685 it's worst than Snapdragon 720G or even more than that it can be comparable to Dimensity 700 and a version 2 of Snapdragon 680.

Core architecture is quite old. Snapdragon 685 is based on Arm Cortex A73 which was launched way back in 2016. It is almost 10 years old design.

Why not? 4 performance cores clocked at 2.8 Ghz seems powerful enough for me.

Tech Guy, Cortex A73 is a 9-year old performance core, while the performance of the Snapdragon 685 is sufficient for low end use there are better alternatives in the same price range.

Joe, Exactly, what good has 2.8ghz clocking with a cortex A73? That's just a beautiful nonsense.

Well, some of the results here are not accurate. For instance, the AnTuTu benchmark score for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 is approximately 355,000.

It was like that back in the time of AnTuTu V10. Literally every chip got a score bump after AnTuTu V11.
