Sorry if this has been asked before, did a couple searches and found nothing related so here it goes: as title says is there a way to check the Snapdragon version/revision of this phone? I mean factory wise, no third party tools. I'm a bit confused because this phone launched under the statement of the Snapdragon 810 v2 revision 2.1 and the thermal heats / performance improvements. But recently I've seen some Sony/HTC phones that were released under the "old" version (specially the M9) having a firmware update that brought the performance to the same scores in all benchmarks to the rev 2.1 supposedly the Mi Note Pro has so I'm a bit confused with all of the revisions, is this one a different revision? Is there a way to check it out, like in recovery mode or through adb/fastboot? If so could you post and share your results / findings? Thanks
The snapdragoon 810 rev. 2.1 have a overclocked GPU , "normal" 810 chip have a gpu clock set to 600 ; 2.1 versions have a 630 clock in the gpu, so download cpuz and check it.
The official Samsung site and many reviews state the Note 5 CPU is four cores at 2.1 GHz and four at 1.5 GHz. I have also found a few sites that ONLY list it at 1.5Ghz, including the specs at the top of this forum.
Can anyone confirm?
Do you have the phone? ...if you have it, Install an app like cpu Z from play store and check for yourself
ścribbled from my Note 5
I don't have the phone yet. I'm assuming the XDA stat is wrong, but wanted confirmation.
yes it has 4 A57 cores at 2.1 Ghz and 4 A53 cores at 1.5 Ghz
Thank you!

Interesting, didn't know that GPU is SO WEAK,we knew it's WEAKER than Adreno 630. Especially that some games run just fine(Shadow Fight 3)....

Should be similar to the other Mali GPU devices
The Qualcomm adreno is unmatched (it's an anagram of Radeon as Qualcomm bought the initial ip from and)
If you buy your phone to play games... There's no reason to buy anything other than a snapdragon with an adreno you
Otherwise it makes little difference in real life use
As far as I remember... Qualcomm was always behind on CPU benches but generations ahead on GPU performance and efficiency
Well nowadays they're ahead in cpu department too....cuz you compare 970 with 845,and 980 w 855(or whatever his name is).
Regarding buying phone for gaming I agree. In the segment up to 500-600$. Anything more than that it should be a complete package...phone that is capable of everything equally capable...and competitive with rivals. Ofc that's in my ideal world
Can we transform our 855 chipset to 855+ or equivalent?
They both have same hardware but
Just a over clocked version
Omfg... For real? Isn't 855 fast enough?
Root and overclock you device and bam 855+

Since sd845 and forward it's impossible to overclock cpu, only gpu.
You know that overclocking increases CPU temps, right? Can't do it that easily nowadays in phones.
Hello there, Ive decided to “overclock” my Snapdragon 888 iGPU. Im using the GPU pretty heavily with emulators like the new AetherSX2 and wanted to give this a try. My problem was the lack of performance with Lineage OS, Kernel seems to clock lower on default. So, this was the best solution for me.
If your Mi11 or other device with SD888 (other chips are supported too) is rooted, you could test this too and could share your results . I will be more focused on my results, here is a good guide with good values to start (table: OC#1 XDA), at the bottom of this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-gpu-now-with-root-and-konabess-app.4275089/
What you need: https://github.com/libxzr/KonaBess, this apk allows to give your voltage value (fixed) a frequency. Set the frequency higher with const. voltage = overclocking, set voltage lower with const. frequency = undervolting. You should (please!) make a backup of your vendor_boot.img and save it on your PC, to reset to the default values if your phone isnt stable.
If my theory is true with lower voltage/lower frequency in this kernel, I basically have an undervolted iGPU with nearly the same performance of an SD888. After 20min stress testing in 3D mark or combined with Antutu there is still no thermal throttling. Somehow there should be a reason for the better battery life. So, a higher clockspeeds (nearly stock) with the lower discrete voltages should give a performance boost without sacrificing battery life.
Please be aware that my values could only work for AOSP or LineageOS 18.1 20211105, you should try it with little steps:

My results Antutu and 3d Mark:
It seems that the temperature and the stability is much better, than the stock MIUI Version, as you can see in this video
. Its a comparison between Mi11, S21 Ultra and Mate40Pro with 3D Mark Wild Life Stress Test. Peak performance on the Mi11 is about 5 percent higher, but at the end more than 25% lower due to the thermal throttling. Geekbench shows nearly no difference, it seems that it is more CPU-biased . Would love to hear the reason of all of this, please feel free to share your thoughts. Sorry for grammar or spelling mistakes, English is not my native language.
Hi
I have Xiaomi Mi 10T with Snapdragon 865 with Adreno 650 GPU and 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM and I used Konabess app to Overclock GPU to beat ROG Phone 5 in Vulkan performance.
I used This two tables to overclock to 905-940Mhz.
Adreno 660 is just overclock on Adreno 650 from Snapdragon 865.
If you want more performance look for CAF ROMs like I did.
I'm using Xdroid ROM with is CAF ROM.( CAF stands for the CodeAurora Forum. It is like the name says, an online forum (just like XDA, except, the forum is more for OS developers than flashmaniacs) where Qualcomm releases source codes and patches for their CPUs. Code Aurora is a kind of an initiative in which brands can release the open-source codes for SoCs(CPUs) for future software development. )
First few technical staff.
1000 Gigaflops = 1 Teraflops/TFLOPS
Adreno 650 on 587 MHz has 1202 Gigaflops
Adreno 660 on 840 MHz has 1702 Gigaflops
Adreno 650 on 905 MHz has 1853 Gigaflops
Adreno 650 on 940 MHz has 1925 Gigaflops
You overclock Adreno 660 to 855 MHz so you have 1751 Gigaflops.
You can calculate this very easily
Shading units 512 * freq 0.905 * 4 = 1853 Gigaflops = 1.8 TFLOPS
Compere to home consoles last gen
PS4 has 1.84 TFLOPS
Xbox One S 1.4 TFLOPS
Nintendo switch 1TFLOPS docked and undock around 500 Teraflops.
I overclock my Adreno 650 to 940Mhz giving me performance of SD888 with new drivers OpenGL 604 ( I link below if you want try on SD888 )
Ybf
Performance is incredible just from driver it self. Stock freq 587 MHz gives 4230-4150 score in Wild life just like SD870.
I used 940MHz and 905MHz on TURBO_L0 Voltage.
You can click on any images to get closer view.
Here is AnTuTu before overclock on stock freq 587MHz and 3Dmark Wild life
Now here we go to 940Mhz overclock with GPU.
AnTuTu Score beats Mi 11 and few SD 888 smartphones.
Here is Wild life and Wild life stress test.
Here are bonus 3DMark Sling **** Extreme Unlimited and Geekbench 5 Vulkan Compute test
And here are temp of Red Magic 6 series phones.
And here is temperature of all big SD888 phones to compere.
Here is test which show how many Watts GPU uses.
Overclock to 905-940Mhz with new drivers v604 use 7W on of power without idle screen 0.8W compere to SD888 which is much higher around 1.5W
Gfx Benchmark Manhattan 3.1 off screen 112-115fps with 7W
SD888 GfxBench Manhattan 3.1 off screen 117 fps with 8W-8.5W of power.
Running Genshin Impact on 60fps highest gets 7.2W of power with 58fps almost lock and SD888 uses 8.5-11W to run this game.

Thank you very much, gives much insight. Also it shows the efficiency of the 888, which is actually really bad for a newer gen cpu . Hopefully the competition with Mediateks Dimensity will push the development. 8 gen 1 seems like a disappointment, it probably will throttle like hell.

No Root support Custom MIUI / AOSP actually for Mediatek CPU... So for a lot of people Mediatek = No Way (like Mi 11T...)

Root is supported on any device of Xiaomi just unlock bootloader via Mi Unclock tool and get boot.img of your Rom you can do that even of MIUI without PC or find MIUI version for phone in internet.
When you update phone or you can select to install update again in right corner option you will get zip or your Rom just use rar and extract boot.img and repack it via Magisk app with unlock bootloader you can boot to fastboot and with adb debugging via adb flash boot.img from Magisk and you are rooted.

Maybe he meant the Konabess support, I think there isn't any way to overclock/undervolt a Mediatek CPU.

Yes I think there isn't but Mediatek chips have agresive thermal management so temperature is never high as exynos or Qualcomm

...hum i know that, i'm an active / old Xda users, and root my device from my first Android device in 2010.
When i talk about root it's for rom dev.
I mean Mediatek is not supported by dev... not more, not less. Mediatek is a pity for customers search waiting Custom MIUI or AOSP rom because any dev purpose build on this models.
And i think it's more important for users to have a CPU with a good compatibility with apps/dev/emulation instead choose a Mediatek for a "maybe" better overclock.

I don't know what emulator do you use but there isn't anything on the market with works better with ****s Mali GPU.
Emutation will be always Better for Adreno GPU than Mali GPU because it is incomplete it therms of GPU components and extensions of drivers.

Im sorry, but I didn't make a backup of the custom values. It is easier to copy paste the values and probably better to tweak in little steps.
Can you undervolt though leave CPU frequency the same? With less volts though same speeds you should see better performance sure to less thermal throttling. Assuming it can run stable

Yes, you give your core other values. I basically give higher clocks at the same voltage values. But I've tested also lower voltage values at the same clocks and it works. But I don't know how much a increment is in volt. With LineageOS my phone runs already cooler, so I didn't feel the need to undervolt it.
I have successfully modified the default highest clock 840MHz down to 825 with one step down in voltage level (TURBO_L1 to TURBO_L0) and added extra lower clock 251MHz at the same voltage of the default lowest clock LOW_SVS
been using it for few days on pixel experience 12.1 with no issues, just a subtle decrease in gpu score in benchmark..but battery wise I didn't notice any difference
Now if anyone can share a way to edit the CPU voltage without applying custom kernels

As far as I know 840MHz @Turbo_L1 is the default max clock of adreno 660 which also was the default value in konabess
I only undervolted it once by going one step down in voltage because frankly I don't want the hassle of trial and error..but if you are saying you could boot with even lower voltage with nearly same performance I might give it a try

Not could it works perfectly tested on few hundred devices.
Of course your silicone lottery can be different but -10MHz is worth it to use with NOM aka 830MHz and lower.
