Best Smartphone For Gaming? The Ultimate Performance Review!

Alright, it's time for our annual smartphone comparison review! Have you been waiting for this? Many of you probably remember our big review from early last year, right? We thoroughly dissected every flagship phone, from the standard to the ultra-luxury models. This year, we've decided to go all out, including not only flagship phones but also mid-range and near-flagship models. The entire review will be divided into four parts: gaming performance, battery life, imaging, and system smoothness. Our standards will be even stricter than last year , not only introducing more methods to uncover the various tricks used by phone manufacturers but also incorporating more dimensions for a more comprehensive evaluation of this generation of phones . To be honest... This workload is incredibly heavy, so we hope everyone can support us by liking, commenting, and sharing. Supporting us isn't too much to ask, right? So today , let's talk about a familiar topic, but one of the biggest areas where phone manufacturers cheat : gaming performance. As we all know , phone manufacturers send us media units for review before launching a new phone , many of which are hands-on experience videos—essentially paid content. These media units are quite subtle; many manufacturers like to manipulate them. First, they meticulously select high-quality, low-power chips. Then, they use targeted scheduling strategies based on the media testing process, specifically choosing… Since we can't buy retail units to verify the custom- tuned devices before they go on sale, anyone wanting to capitalize on the initial sales will have to swallow their pride. Actually, we brought this up in last year's comprehensive review, criticizing various manufacturers. Back then, to avoid suspicion, we only referred to them as Model A and Model B. I thought everyone would be more restrained , but unexpectedly, last year's new devices not only didn't restrain themselves but went further down the path of cheating, becoming even more outrageous. A major reason is that this generation of 8E5 and 9500 chips are incremental upgrades. If they don't tamper with the media units, it's really hard to differentiate them from the previous generation 8E and 9400. This year, consumers have completely stopped trusting the data from initial media units. Some data is obviously fake, and everyone assumes it's all false. I think if we don't completely expose the issue of specially tuned media units, these manufacturers will only become more unscrupulous this year , which will only affect our own credibility. So, in this year's comprehensive review, we're not even trying to avoid any appearance of favoritism;
