Why would they not? The dual core is just as good in performance and sometimes better
not sure about the GPU differences

because the US/CA are getting the S4 variant, the list of not working games on the ATT/Roger HOX is a good list to look at. bummed that ME Infiltrator won't work on it. i love Mass Effect and would've bought that game day1.

Games are not compatible yet
I got my new SGS3 yesterday but most of the games listed here are not compatible with SGS3. Only Shadowgun and GTA3 is compatible and working great so far. Can anyone suggest that how this guy in the video is using these games on SGS3?
Nova 3, Modern Combat 3 and Mass Effect not Compatible with SGS3

I think I remember reading that people have extracted the APKs from their old
Phones and transferred them manually to the S3. Don't think you'll be able to install from play store until the games are updated as being compatible for the S3

+1 nothing is available here as well
Bummer wanted to see the power of the phone.....

NOVA3, MC3 doesnt work on my s3.
Real racing 2 crashes during load screen with cracked sound.
MassEffect is playable but cracked sound as well..

I saw some clips of asphalt 7 in presentation of s3 in India
Asphalt 7 looks like console graphics
In India they showed game play for 15 secs

I received the update in the morning. Have used the tab briefly 15 min after update. The display quality has improved, it appears more crispy, colors are more vibrant. One thing noticeable is, it is blazing fast. Have played NFS most wanted for few minutes, and it was a piece of cake.
Will spare more time with it in evening.

blazing fast..
Blazing fast android 5.1 played several games like asphalt 8.. And believe me guys not a single lag + better graphics than kitkat....☺

benchmark
Antutu score 39839
Browsing in Google chrome is also buttery smooth

Got it today, the update needs a lot of time, cause of many reboots for optimizsation of all installed apps. But finally it works.

awesome got min today aswell.. never thought this tablet would get it hahah.

It's taken me flashing back stock recovery (quite reasonably since wouldn't install with TWRP as others have found) and taking off the excellent Shaky kernel (and actually reinstalling a full stock system since my wifi wasn't working when I just flashed the stock kernel back) ... and I'm all upgraded and good to go . Pleasant surprise for a Friday, since like many I'd given up expecting the upgrade!

Is it just me or does the upgrade kill internal memory?

Any one sight laggy menu ? For me L brings tons of lags...

why cant I access internal memory ...!!!

here is the ota update just in case someone needs it Android 5.1 ota update

Redmi Note 2 benchmarks, and general performance thread

Hi, can anyone do few benchmarks and also point out MIUI version?
1. Please install Geekbench + Androbench, reboot the phone, turn off everything from background (apps and such) and do Androbench first, then Geekbench.
2. Please install PC Mark for Android, turn off everything from behind and post the results.
3. Feel free to add any benchmarks you like, thanks!
Also report about performance in app, smoothness, load times on big apps, and general performance.

Thanks so much!

So how do these numbers compare to other phones?

Actually regarding price, they are very good!

I assume you have the 16gb model? How much usable storage space is left?

I can't tell you exactly because I have installed a few apps and I do not feel like resetting it atm! But I would guess just over 10gb free space.

what I am wondering is if there is any actual difference in performance between this and the prime version and also if this one can be overclocked to match the primes performance if there is any difference.. I would be interested in seeing youtube videos on this phone .. but there is nothing out there yet..

Like 5-10% MAX difference, do not bother about it if you don't need the storage.

Yes,16GB ver. I reset my device and checked storage. After resetting, available storage is 10.72GB. After uninstalling Chinese apps, available storage is 11.4GB.

Could you unintelligible the Chinese apps as any other app or do you need root or any uninstaller app?

the benchmark of XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 2

Please avoid antutu, Geekbench is much better, and PC Mark Android....

What mainstream phones is the Redmi Note 2 Prime comparable to?
I'd like to upgrade from my dead Galaxy Note 2 and am looking for something inexpensive but that's still an upgrade in specs.

I found a nice long review here with more benchmarks and info on the device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR_la5ngaco
I didn't know about dragon glass, so apparently it is comparable to the old Gorilla Glass 2, which is what I had on my G2, and which is the reason I have the RN2 now so I will make sure I don't drop it again: http://agcem.com/index.php/dragontrail/15-cover-glass
There are also two reviews on Youtube with people doing scratch tests.

Can anyone do javascript benchmarks for me with the latest google chrome browser version?

Hi,
Somebody to post a screen of Basemark OS II ? Thank you.

Antutu score

Hi guys, why my antutu score is so low compared to OP3 (especially on 3D) ? It's even lower than the old G5. I'm using v10t open stock rom

Strange, my G6 scored 144325 points with the same benchmarking app.
Your test seems to lack in 3D performances.
I did not stop any app before I run the bench.

1. don't give a **** about benchmarks
2. use the onboard Smart Doctor before Benchmark
3. Stop all your social waste apps like Facebook or better deinstall it, takes a lot of performance
4. LG G6 Display got a much higher resolution, this needs more performance
5. Oneplus is cheating on Benchmarks
So, don't give a f u c k about those things

Update : i did another test with "force gpu rendering" option on and with game battery saver off. My score increased but i saw on youtube that other variant of G6 can reach up to 160k

Point 4 doesn't matter here because AnTuTu does the 3D benchmark at 1080p

Excpecially the point 5 should avoid any benchmark comparison with OnePlus smartphones

also, changing to the latest available antutu (outside of google play store) changed my score too, 140k+ is on par with snapdragon 821 devices and you shouldn't fret about the small differences. Try Geekbench

Camera lag/FPS dropping video recording

Hi all, i'm experiencing lags and FPS dropping while recording video (expecially zooming in and out) and with slow motion option (always).
I tried all resolutions, gcamera, stock, camera MX.....still the same.
For videos it's a big problem because after lagging fails to sync video and audio...
Slow motion is always unusable... Full of stuttering/lags.
What can i do? Anybody experiencing this problem?
I don't have SD installed, my model is 4/64 with 10.3.2 MIUI.
Thanks
Inviato dal mio Redmi Note 7 utilizzando Tapatalk

Hi. I can't reproduce the zooming FPS drop issue on my device - 4/64 MIUI 10.3.3 EU. It wasn't even present before MIUI updates.
Phones often drop frames when shooting video in low light, but it doesn't happen for me on this device, at least not noticeably.
On the other hand, consecutive frame drops in slow motion have always been a huge problem when recording using the stock camera – slo-mos are almost unusable. Fortunately, all versions of GCam record slo-mo video smoothly in my case, with just a rare frame drop in longer videos. It's only a frame here and there so it doesn't hurt the video and is seen on virtually all phones.
Also, I tried slo-mo in Open Camera once and it was fine, unlike in the stock app.

Thanks for reply.
It seems like a RAM or CPU management problem. With Camera (gcam or stock) in "game turbo" app there are less lags or stuttering. I tried "Footej Camera" and seems better, 95% no problems.
I found a video that explains a similar problem (more serious!) with Redmi Note 7 Pro.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeV7uo339-g
My Redmi Note 7 has stuttering only when i zoom in and out fast or i move my phone very quickly while recording. Slow motion isn't my priority but is annoying...

Maybe you've been dealt a bad RAM chip or something. Try running benchmarks and see if you can spot some low or unusual results. We can help you out to compare.

Can you suggest me a tool? Thanks

Maybe Androbench for testing storage speed and Antutu to check if altogether your device produces expected results for the Redmi Note 7.
Btw, how much free storage do you have?

It seems that erasing Camera folder improves the situation (i had few photos but....ok...).
I also tried Footej Camera app and last night i could record flawlessy with it.
So it's a MIUI bug handling camera apps or an issue with read/write Camera folder..
