MrrKay: You see brother, don't be fooled by what some think is best simply because they want to make sales. Every phone brand has its shortcomings and I do not say this to defend Infinix or Tecno's alleged 'substandardness' Here is what I'll advise you. If you really want a decent Infinix phone, I'd recommend Infinix S5. I have friends using this phone. Indeed it is a decent device. However, you can also check Jumia for a list of similarly priced Xiaomi and Nokia phones to better weigh your option. PS: Let 'what you want in a phone' be your deciding factor and not just mere processor comparisons as there are more to a phone than just PROCESSORS. 1 Like |

photon3106:Infinix note 5 is also good too, its plays almost every games in moderate mode, and its has good camera and it can be upgraded to android 10 which is substandard to pie 1 Like |

Nellsworld: Devices that come with Android Pie (9.0) out of the box do not have to worry about getting android Q (10.0). Suppose, manufacturer decides to leave these devices at 9.0 which is very unlikely even for infinix, users can still enjoy android 10 through the Google Treble Project ( support for GSI pure stock ROMs) |

atheistandproud: I believe you're joking for asking me this because you didn't just start reviewing phones yesterday. Did you? Nevertheless, if you're actually sincere about not knowing that there is more to a phone than just its processor, at this age, then I'd advise you to do your research as I don't know where to start lecturing you ..Furthermore, I'm too busy for sarcasm |

photon3106: You don't have to be so defensive. I mean you no slight or harm. I'm just curious that you would say such a thing. Nothing on a phone runs without the processor. Nothing. 1. Computing tasks/power is done by the cores depending on their arrangements: duo, quad, hexa, octa and even deca. Tasks could be as easy as using the calculator app or streaming live videos to a TV or projector. 2. All camera activities are handled by the ISP (Image Signal Processor), OIS (optical image stabilization), night shots, computational photography software etc. 3. Software (Android or iOS) and other android skins like HiOS and XoS obviously require the processor to run. 4. Calls/Network: the modem for calls and network is located inside the processor. This is why phones using Mediatek 6580 cannot use 4G LTE as it has no 4G receiver embedded in the processor. 5. Connectivity: the modems for Bluetooth and WiFi are located inside the processor as well. The best BT version around is 5.0 I think, off the top of my head. 6. External attachment: inside the processor is where the external attachment receiver is located for USB technology. This is why phones support OTG and others do not despite using the same micro USB charging port. 7. Storage: The ufs flash storage is powered by the processor as well and is used to read it's contents. Storage includes RAM and ROM obviously. 8. Charging and Battery: the processor determines how battery is used or conserved by deciding what cores to run on particular tasks. Fast charging tech is also located in the processor as well. Snapdragon uses Quick Charge (QC) while Mediatek uses Pump charge. So what's more to the phone than the Processor? If I've missed any please educate me. The comment got me thinking. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

busysince1993: This is will be the last time I'll quote you. You as an individual possess certain unwholesome characteristics which need serious introspection. 1. You're dishonest 2. You shift goalposts 3. You never admit wrongs even when it's glaring 4. You nitpick 5. You do not fact check 6. You're illogical 7. You seek for problems even where there are none. Currently what you're doing is "gaslighting" and "projecting". Both of which sum up your narcissistic personality and tendencies. One of the rules of logical debate is that you never attack an individual's personality. It amounts to an "ad hominem". Unfortunately since you have done so, I have no option but to address you accordingly. I have not insulted anyone, yet you accuse me of hatred. Even Itzneowizy (sorry for the mention), cannot accuse me of such despite the issues we've had in the past. Photon made a statement which I perceived to be incorrect and I stated my points as to why I thought so. It's up to him to provide a counter view. That is how it is done between civilized and educated people. One of the basic rules of psychology is that when someone "projects" a tag on someone else, it tells more about them than the individual they're trying to label. I know that even if I answer your question, you'll simply shift goalposts (as usual). Go and do a mental self re-evaluation sir. Have a good day. You've earned yourself a place on my ignore list. 10 Likes 1 Share |

atheistandproud: Nothing runs on a phone without the battery. So what's more to the phone than the battery? First, I was not being defensive and second, I commend the breakdown you have got there. I won't go into much technical detail in pointing out few things. STATEMENT: There is more to a Phone than just Processor! The human brain is the center of cognition and consciousness. In fact, it is the heart of what makes man human. Take a way the brain, then a dummy body of a human is created. Consider the eye and the ear as input devices and the brain (Processor). Without the processor, the input devices are very much insignificant. Therefore, there is NOTHING MORE TO HUMAN THAN JUST BRAINS! Hence, having defective (substandard) input devices (dumb ears and sight defects) does not affect the efficiency and optimal performance of the processor (brain). This is invalid conclusion because a pair of blind eyes and non functional ear simply puts the brain in darkness of what it ought to be processing at an instant. The processor is only good at what it does - PROCESSING! I'll summarise all you've said into the following outline and point out why the processor of a mobile phone isn't the all-seeing and almighty part. Inorder to see the processor for what it is, one must understand some basics. These are: 1. Hardware design: Every hardware design comprises of input, output and processing component. Most of what you mentioned fall under this category. The ISP for camera, the radio controller for wireless connectivity, usb controller, storage controller, SDRAM controller, digitizer controller, GPU and the processing die/dice (aka central processor) are individual components. However owing to advancement in technology, most of these components are now being made on to a single chip to form what is called system on chip (SOC). An SOC is a single package hardware. Yet, not all SOCs contain these component. A good example is the Infinix Note 2 with the MTK6753 SOC but without LTE support and the beautiful infinix Hot S having the same SOC but with LTE support. Talking about storage controllers, not all manufacturer include a storage controller on their SOC. Blackberry for example has a rather unique design for their android device ( a design that enhances security and protection of personal data). Sony flagship phones have a separate sound signal processor that is not part of the SOC to enhance and support the Bravia Engine. These among others means; whether the SOC (commonly refered to as processor) contains these components or not does not change it from being a piece of hardware that depends solely on other basic parts. 2. Software design and implementation: This consists of the OS (Android in this case), GUI (Graphic user interface), API (application interface) and the middle man called KERNEL. The kernel contains hardware drivers and other necessary system level files that enables your software (user and system software) to interact with your available hardware. The combined load of input and output signals (incoming signal to the processor, processed outgoing signals from the processor) are solely the processor's computing task. Imaging processing softwares, power management, fingerprint behaviour,modem stability etc all depends on a well developed software to function properly. Even a poorly designed UI (e.g xos, miui, sense...) is enough to bring down the power of the mightiest mobile processor. Proper scheduling of tasks translate to better multitasking ability and over all enjoyable resposiveness. as important as scheduling is, the processor needs your kernel to be able to successfully compute its tasks. What is the point of having the world's best processor in a phone with buggy ROM if there is NOTHING MORE THAN JUST PROCESSOR IN A PHONE? A friend once asked me, which one is more important: Chipset or Ram size? I told him: both! When he persisted, I said: 'I'd prefer an MTK6572 with sufficient RAM size (say 2gb) to a phone of SnapDragon 845 and 512Mb. Why? because my Processor never runs out of memory to work with. It's simply a matter of slow and steady VS fast and erratic Take a look at Apple... iOS does not require a heavy duty processor to work or ram sizes at the extremes of 6gb to outperfom most high end android devices. Why? This is because the software is different. One is more efficient and optimized than the other. TAKE AWAY THE PROCESSOR, THEN YOU HAVE A DUMMY. TAKE AWAY OTHER PARTS AND COMPONENTS, THEN YOU HAVE AN ENCASED SLAB OF CHIP. In conclusion, Infinix and other non transsion (xiaomi and Nokia for example) all consider several other features when procucing for a target market. So merely checking the spec sheet of a typical Infinix with Helio P22 does not automatically make it a poor-performance device because you just have to handle one to be able to decide. Hence my advice: 'LET WHAT YOU WANT IN A PHONE AND WHAT YOU WANT THE PHONE FOR' BE YOUR DECIDING FACTOR. SMARTPHONES ARE NOT JUST ABOUT PROCESSORS. PLS NOTE! 3 Likes |

photon3106:Going by the example you gave your friend: optimum, underclock/underutilize or overclock/overutilize I don't want to claim techy or what is not. My question is: Why always Helio p22? It's getting boring, transion is just painting mtk in bad light like a company that's not innovative. 1 Like |
Re: ***** Infinix Discussion Thread ***** by atheistandproud(m): 10:05pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
photon3106: I have read and digested what you have said, and I believe I get your point. Beyond the processor, you've got hardware (design, screen, display panel, input/output components) etc. I get you. Completely. And I agree. Put a good processor in a ugly phone and people may not buy it or run a buggy ROM on the processor and it will lag etc. As a graduate of Physiology, I'll tell you that the heart works off the autonomic nervous system which is controlled by the medulla in the brain so henceforth, no brain, no heart circulation. Secondly, emotions that make one human are found in the amygdala, which is also located in the brain. Everything that runs in the body is processed and coordinated by the brain. Same also in the smartphone. These other parts you've mentioned help the processor do it's job and without them, the processor may fail to do it's job properly. Yes. I agree with you. Totally. But whilst the processor may cope without them, they will not work AT ALL without the processor. Note that, no processor, no phone. People root phones and swap ROMs like girlfriends, but you can't swap your SoC from that motherboard. Kernels and drivers can be deleted and reinstalled. You get my point. Finally, I have to say, what everyone finds important in a phone is what they should go for. On that basis, I completely agree with you. I concede that point to you. Thank you very much for your well though out reply. This thread can become good again if we trade tackles like this and teach each other. I'm happy to concede points to you. Thank you again. 3 Likes |
