Except for Snapdragon 888 Plus,iQOO 8 The Pro is also equipped with Samsung's enhanced LPDDR5+UFS 3.1 solution。The enhanced version of LPDDR5 memory is 16.3% faster than the previous generation LPDDR5,Faster application recall and caching;The enhanced V6 UFS 3.1 The same speed is faster and less lag,Compared with the previous generation V5 UFS 3.1 sequential read speed increased by 6.4%,Sequential write speed increased by 5.89%,Random write speed increased by 17.3%。Hence iQOO 8 The Pro can achieve an AnTuTu score of 857182,Snapdragon 888 Plus+ enhanced version of LPDDR5/UFS 3.1 is a new set of "performance iron triangle"。

certainly,The actual performance of the mobile phone can't just look at the running score data,Game testing is also a very important part。under this section,We tested "Honor of Kings" separately、30 minutes each for the three mainstream games "Peace Elite" and "Genshin Impact",In the actual measurement of continuous games, we also tested the number of frames for three games respectively.。The picture setting and frame number curve are as follows:

As can be seen,iQOO 8 The frame rate of the Pro can reach 59.8 frames when running the "Peace Elite" game under the conditions of HDR HD + extreme frame rate,The whole frame rate curve is relatively flat,The game runs very smoothly with no frame drops, etc.;The average frame rate of "Honor of Kings" is 60 frames when running "Honor of Kings" under the conditions of high frame rate, ultra-high image quality and extreme image quality.,The operation process is also very smooth;The frame rate is 30 frames when running the large-scale mobile game "Genshin Impact" under medium quality conditions,The curve will not fluctuate too much,However, there will be occasional stuttering during long-term operation.。Overall,iQOO 8 The Pro won't have much stress running these three games,Overall better performance。

Thanks to the addition of the new "performance iron triangle" composed of the Snapdragon 888 Plus+ enhanced version of LPDDR5/UFS 3.1,iQOO 8 Pro can fully enter the first echelon of flagship mobile phones in the second half of 2021 in terms of performance。Not only guaranteed performance release,iQOO in the large-scale game running scene with more expensive configuration 8 Pro is also true,The almighty flagship has "squeezed" it。

Beyond the "Iron Triangle":VC power pump liquid cooling、VRS Variable Resolution

The New "Performance Audio-Technica" Is Good,But iQOO 8 The performance improvement of the Pro is of course more than this part,Cooling solution、Function optimization, etc. are also very important。Only core hardware and auxiliary software and hardware work together,Only a mobile phone can properly deal with various usage scenarios that may be involved。

This time iQOO 8 Pro adopts VC power pump liquid cooling technology,The large-area vapor chamber (VC) is composed of a liquid working medium composed of copper alloy material + 99.999% pure water,Heat conduction faster and better。At the same time, the internal copper mesh capillary structure + Fiber power pump can increase the liquid circulation force,Complete coverage of the core heating unit。Coupled with the optimization of the internal stacking structure of the fuselage,This complete cooling solution allows the Snapdragon 888 Plus to achieve stable and continuous high-performance output even in high game load scenarios.,Avoid throttling。

introduce so much,then iQOO 8 What is the actual cooling effect of the Pro? Before and after the previous 1 hour 30 minute playtest,We test the temperature of the mobile phone separately。

Before the game starts,iQOO 8 The average back of the Pro body is 33.91 degrees Celsius、Up to 34.5 degrees Celsius,And after 1 hour and 30 minutes of gaming, iQOO 8 The average back of the Pro body is 44.13 degrees Celsius、Maximum 47.52 degrees Celsius,The average temperature of the back of the fuselage has risen by more than 10 degrees Celsius,It can be seen that iQOO 8 The Pro has really put a lot of effort into temperature control。

In addition to excellent cooling capacity,iQOO 8 Pro also brings more surprises in software functions for game scenarios,For example, "Remains of the God of War"、The "VRS Variable Resolution" technology supported by the three games "Tianya Mingyue Dao" and "Tian Yu"。The technology works by changing the coloring,Concentrate GPU resources on areas where rendering the picture is most beneficial,Reduce the rendering load on the GPU in this way,Realize more stable and smooth game operation,At the same time, the screen effect displayed to the player will not change.。

It is worth noting that,iQOO 8 The Pro is also equipped with an independent graphics chip this time.,And then get support for the "game frame insertion" function。Players can see the option of "Game Interpolation" in the panel pulled out from the left side of the mobile game interface。

iQOO 8 Pro has two frame insertion modes: "Boost Frame Rate" and "Optimize Power Consumption":The former can analyze the difference in the position of the object,Automatically add a frame of transition between two moving pictures,Break the native frame rate limit。That is to say,When the player is playing "Honor of Kings"、When games such as "God of War" support 90 frames,With the help of the independent graphics chip, the frame can be inserted to 120 frames。The latter uses an independent display chip to help the phone's "graphics processor" render half the number of pictures,Further reduce rendering pressure on the processor,Achieve the same picture quality but lower power consumption when running 90fps games,This improves the battery life of the phone。

Interpolation Notes

High-frame game operation will inevitably involve high power consumption output problems,And iQOO 8 The Pro's "optimized power consumption" frame insertion mode is obviously a function introduced for this problem。So what is the actual experience of this frame insertion mode? We chose to test it in Genshin Impact,The actual measurement is as follows:

90Frame "Yuan Shen" (open frame insertion) performance

The same is running "Yuan Shen",no frame insertion&The experience of turning on frame insertion is very different。 iQOO 8 Pro can have a smoother game running experience after turning on frame interpolation,Caton is also reduced。This point is represented by the ordinate in the chart above,That is, the game frame generation time can also be seen。iQOO after frame insertion is turned on 8 The frame rate fluctuation of Pro is greatly reduced when the game is running,more stable performance。

Although the iQOO mobile phone emphasizes the development strategy of a comprehensive flagship,However, heat dissipation from liquid cooling、Look at the configuration and functions added to the game scene, such as the independent display frame insertion,iQOO 8 Pro has not given up on the continuous optimization of the game scene,Still maintaining the excellent e-sports performance of iQOO mobile phones。While ensuring the continuous output of performance,The game experience has also been further improved。

As the latest iteration of the iQOO digital flagship series,With Snapdragon 888 Plus+ enhanced LPDDR5/UFS 3.1,iQOO 8 The performance of the Pro is outstanding among the existing iQOO mobile phones and even other mobile phones on the market。The addition of advantageous technologies such as independent graphics chips also means that,iQOO 8 Pro is not only a fully evolved high-end flagship,It also contains its thinking on mobile game scenes and inheritance of the original e-sports elements。For consumers who like the gaming feel and performance of iQOO mobile phones but want more scene availability,iQOO 8 Pro is definitely ideal。
