Apple has reportedly added a graphene thermal system to the iPhone 16 Pro models which helps dissipate the heat better and in turn, offers a more stable performance. The A18 Pro chipset is also more capable than last year’s chipset. But how do its performance and stability compare to flagship Android devices with superior heat dissipation systems?” To test it out, the YouTube channel ‘极客湾Geekerwan’ ran Genshin Impact and similar heavy titles on the iPhone 16 Pro Max , some previous iPhones, and some Android flagships with last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300+ chip.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max obtained a decent lead over the iPhone 15 Pro Max . However, the Red Magic 9S Pro, which was launched in July this year with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 managed to outperform Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro Max in the game. It’s important to mention that the Red Magic 9S Pro equips an active cooling system, which likely enable it use more power.
The A18 Pro running in the iPhone 16 Pro Max maintains a framerate of 55.5FPS in Genshin Impact, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Android flagship offered an average frame rate of 59.9fps.
While the difference might not seem reasonably big, the gameplay was significantly more stable in the Red Magic 9S Pro . It is also interesting to see that the same SoC powering the smaller iPhone 16 Pro managed to achieve only 49.5fps, and offered a significantly less stable performance as compared to the larger model.
This is probably because of a relatively inferior heat dissipation system on the Pro model. However, the story is strangely different with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, as the A18 running in the smaller 6.1-inch handset obtains a higher framerate than its bigger 6.
7-inch brother. Notably, not all Android devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performed the same. The Xiaomi 14 Pro , which also packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip only managed to score an average frame rate of 38.
9fps. It also hints at a difference in the heat dissipation system and performance tuning. ( Source ) TAGS Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Red Magic 9S Pro Find X8 vs.
