New to Honor 8 - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello guys,
I just bought Honor 8 yesterday. I'm not that much satisfied with the Mali T880 MP4 GPU on this device. The Antutu score is just 19k+. Is this the lack of GPU optimisation? This GPU is quite powerful I guess.

If I recall the FRD-L09 has a single sim for North America, the FRD-L04 has a dual sim with the option of running a micro-SD in the 2nd sim slot and FRD-L02 is a single sim for India.

I played Modern Combat 5, it's working very well. The only game that have a bit of lag it's Gangester Vegas on max graphics. Btw, it's well known that this gpu isn't that good at gaming.

I dont know the answer to this question but what i know is that no one can make faster SoC, this phone is already on RedBull,all the smartphones in this days are on steroids. They are opening apps in no time, so it's impossible to make something faster. Only if they make a phone who open the apps before you press on them )

Yes but when more quad he content like games starts becoming available the adreno 420 will show much improvement.
Yes but the only thing I care about is battery life. I think it will be better on the 805.

It's not only 801 vs 805, you have to include the GPU as well to see the difference regarding a smartphone.
And the Adreno 420 is a whole other story than the 330...

The GPU is built in. It's not like a 801 can come paired with the adreno 420.
One thing not factored in though is thermal throttling with our phones. The 805 may have more problems with that in the G3 but not in non LG phones so the difference could be a lot larger in whatever phones that may have it.

S7 Edge low benchmark score/and gaming performance

Hello everyone! Got S7 edge 1 week ago and used the ordinary benchmarks to see the numbers, and i feel its pretty bad compared to what i see from other devices and compared to other s7 edge devices.. it almost pass 130k on antutu and the 3d perfomance its bad, almost every game i try it lags a bit. Does anyone know that's going on?
I got EU version with Exynos.
Thank you in advance

Sd820 model scores better on 3d. But your antutu score is normal. Some say they have bad gaming performance on both sd820 and exynos..I'm not seeing it on mine but maybe it's there?! Either way,there is no game that even remotely stresses the GPU on both models yet so it's most likely a SW issue which they will fix in the future.

3k score difference is nothing to worry about. If it was 10-20k I would be concerned.
I got 90k for my S7 Edge S820 Version.
I notice some fps drops on some games. Even on FB messenger basketball gaming, it is lagging
Ohh thnx for ur answer! I see its about cpus the difference on antutu.. what version do u have? And what games u play? I wanna check them to mine

Dont worry about your benchmarks, antutu sucks anyway it's the least consistent benchmark program ever and have unexplained high and low scores on phones. I'm on exynos. Have been trying angry birds 2, epic war 2td and unskilled with no issues.

Heat. Heat is what effects it the most. Try this, throw your phone in the fridge for 10 minutes and then benchmark. See what it scores then.
Some games run awesome and others run like crap. I think it may be optimization issues. Asphalt 8, Clash Royal and Trials Frontier run awesome with zero lag yet Hearthstone has lag all over the place.

I restarted my cellphone and waited for it to cool down (temp), i made it to 120k.
I am still not happy with it, S820 needs some serious optimization with the android 6.0.x. It's slow and lags a lot.
I'm using the Exynox version with no lags whatsoever. All games are running pretty fine. And RAM management is top scoring.
I don't know what happened to OP. You might wanna ping the service centre as there might be some faulty units sold and your's might be one of them.
Poor optimized apps and poor user optimization. nubs

Im going to buy a Note 4 but Which one should I get?
Which one is better at; gaming, battery life and developer friendly? I really need to know becuase Im keeping it for at least one year.
And btw is there any news about android 7.0 for Note 4?
Thanks

It's not that the Snapdragon 805 doesn't perform as well as the Exynos 5433 SOC. They both are excellent performing SOCs. It's just that the Snapdragon 805 has a bad habit of overheating very easily, which is a common problem among Qualcomm's Snapdragon series of SOCs.

I've been happily using the Snapdragon 805 variant since launch week and it runs just fine. Battery is great, I get around 6.5h SOT if I do try push it (usually going to bed by the time it hits 4h).
Both variants are great, and you should have a similar experience on both on Android 6.0.1.

Exynos plays games like iPhone. See YouTube videos of Real Racing 3 & Nova 3 on N4 Exynos, N4 Spapdragon and then iPhone 6s.
That'll show you the difference right there.

The Mali T-760MP6 is a excellent GPU and will run any game you throw it's way like nothing. While the Adreno maybe slightly better. The Mali T-760 isn't a slouch in the gaming department either. I use my N910C for gaming all the time and I can literally play any game I want on it. Even République, which is quite a heavy 3D intensive game and my N910C runs it like it was nothing!

ROM Support seems good.
Check out the Exynos Development Section
Snapdragon for gaming, media, and vr. Exynos for multitasking and background processing. From what I've read, both are fairly comparable but exynos may have better chance of seeing nougat update since it's more widely used internationally.
Actually, I have used both of them.
The Exynos wins, at least in terms of a battery life (+30 min of SoT compared to the SnapDragon) and earbuds sound quality. Moreover, it heats up less than the Snap.
the n910c seems to be better in every aspect
Guys I had the snapdragon variant and I just got the exynos model now... Huge difference! The exynos hands down wins! By far better...
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA-Developers mobile app
Lol I have 2 phone right now i i say that exinos in way back after snapdragon. Snap is better in every way. More powerfull cpu, ram., all test win snapdragon
Actually if you care about performance, go with snapdragon, but if you use it as daily phone and you concern about battery life, heating problem then exynos. BTW, exynos on galaxy note 4 has 64 bit processor, which means, it is a newer version of processor!!

just buy it

I realy must say that i was surprised by this phone.
I got i cheap but i was amazed by the speed and the great camera.
My work phone is an galaxy s7, and i realy think this one gives better images, maybe not in verry low light but in those cases the s7 has alot of noise.
The phone is slippery as hell so buy a case asp ;l
I have had about of phones, iPhone, sony, nexus Samsung... But fore me this is the best one yet.
Tho i hate not having a app drawer, but i use nova launcher anyways..
Cheers
It's worth buying indeed

Speaking of gaming. While Honor 8's SoC has very good CPU performance for common tasks, according to anandtech benchmarks, the GPU performance, which is used in gaming, trails the competition. For example, the SoC has only four GPU cores, while the Exynos version of Galaxy S7 has 12 similar GPU cores. Having said, the Honor 8 is still a very good value.

It depends on how the person uses their mobile devices. If they don't use it for allot of high intensive tasks, like 3D intensive gaming or recording 4K videos. Then it won't get uncomfortably hot. But I have heard complaints from SGS7 SD820 variant users, saying that it does get uncomfortably hot when used.

That is to be expected as you have already stated the Honor 8's GPU has less GPU cores than that of the Exynos variant of the SGS7. However in real time usage, you won't notice the performance difference between the Honor 8 and the Exynos variant of the SGS7.

The middle cores in the Exynos are running at high frequencies almost all the time and that will generate a lot of heat, especially in heavy apps. Compared to the SD, CPU frequencies in all cores were lower. Are you running the Exynos at high performance mode?
ARM Mali G77 is a new GPU, it will require more optimizations and software updates.. it is not a bad GPU.

Exynos990 GPU heats up and throttles so hard that it's not even half as powerful as SD865 after 20 mins of sustained load

Did you import the SD version?
I wonder if it's in high performance mode, Apparently Sammy messed it up on exynos variants, and the power consumption + heat generation is tremendous.
Andrei from Anandtech will probably have an insight as he does every year in his detailed review of both Socs.

The middle cores in the Exynos are running at high frequencies almost all the time and that will generate a lot of heat, especially in heavy apps. Compared to the SD, CPU frequencies in all cores were lower. Are you running the Exynos at high performance mode?

Because exynos 990 is basically a brick even with warranty
