Pixel 8 Pro miserably lost to iPhone 15 Pro Max in performance comparison, unable to keep a couple of apps in memory
The authors of the PhoneBuff channel compared the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro. As always, using a robotic manipulator.
Various benchmarks show that the Tensor G3 SoC in the new Google flagship is far from the performance of flagship platforms even of the previous generation. However, at the beginning of the test, we see that the Pixel 8 Pro not only easily competes with its competitor, but even outperforms it at first. It’s especially surprising to see that photo processing in Snapseed is faster on Google’s new product.
True, the next task in the form of video processing puts everything in its place. The iPhone turns out to be head and shoulders faster, takes a strong lead and does not allow its competitor to catch up until the end of the test. Moreover, in the end it also turned out that Microsoft Word and Excel applications could not stay in the RAM of the Pixel 8 Pro, which is why the gap between smartphones became huge: 2 minutes and 48 seconds for the Apple flagship and 3 minutes and 28 seconds for the flagship Google.
However, if we omit video processing, it turns out that the performance of the Pixel 8 Pro in regular applications is on average no lower than that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its latest A17 Pro.
In addition to the ultra-cheap Smart 8 HD smartphone, Infinix also presented a whole line of budget models: Hot 40.
It includes the junior model Hot 40i, basic Hot 40 and Hot 40 Pro. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but the company says they’ll all cost less than $200.
Hot 40 Pro, as expected, looks the most interesting. There is a camera with a resolution of 108 megapixels, a 120 Hz screen, and 8/128 or 8/256 GB of memory. The device is also equipped with a 5000 mAh battery with 33-watt charging, Helio G99 SoC and a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display.
The Hot 40 is similar to the older model, but it has a screen with a frame rate of 90 Hz, is based on the Helio G88 and a 50 MP camera. The remaining parameters are identical.
The younger model Hot 40i is more different. The heart here is the less productive SoC Unisoc T606, the basic amount of RAM is 4 GB, although there is also a version with 8 GB, the screen here has HD+ resolution with a diagonal of 6.56 inches and supports a frame rate of 90 Hz, and charging power is limited to 18 W. Other parameters are the same as Hot 40.
It is also worth noting that all models received IPS screens.

This ultra-cheap $75 smartphone offers a “premium” design and a 90Hz screen. Infinix Smart 8 HD unveiled
Infinix has announced the Smart 8 HD smartphone with a price of just $75. At the same time, the device is equipped much better than many smartphones priced at $100-120.
But it’s worth starting not even with this, but with design. As you can see, Infinix does not betray itself and even made an ultra-budget smartphone so that it stands out: the back cover seems to have a relief pattern. The company itself even uses the expression “premium design,” but this, of course, is on its conscience.
From a technical point of view, the device is not bad, and for such a price it is very good. It is based on the Unisoc T606 SoC, which scores about 240,000 points in AnTuTu 10. There is 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory, a 13-megapixel main camera and a 5000 mAh battery. And the 6.6-inch screen with HD+ resolution also supports a frame rate of 90 Hz. In addition, there is an element that imitates the Dynamic Island of the iPhone.
It remains to add that the dimensions here are 164 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 184 g.
