He Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 It’s a Qualcomm SoC to compete A17 Pro implemented on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max smartphones. At the performance level, it showed good behavior and even managed to beat the Apple model in multicore, but as revealed by YouTube channel TechDroider, it seems that it achieves this at the cost of not beating it in autonomy.

TechDroider compared some smartphones, which included the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Xiaomi 14 Pro. The first uses the A17 Pro SoC and the second implements the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In both devices, the screen frequency has been set to 120 Hz to balance, but it is important to remember that the supported resolutions are different for each and that this cannot be easily adjusted at least.

Another aspect to consider is that The Xiaomi 14 Pro has a battery with a capacity of 4,880 mAhwhile that The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a capacity of 4,441 mAh. However, despite the fact that the Chinese brand mobile phone has an advantage in this area, The Apple device was better by offering an autonomy of 11 hours and 54 minutes in the test, while the Xiaomi 14 Pro lasted 10 hours and 24 minutes..

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which was also tested and implements Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a 5,000 mAh battery, managed to last 10 hours and 5 minutes. This shows, without going into details, that Qualcomm’s SoCs are efficient and that the manufacturer has complied in principle, but Apple seems to be one step ahead in this regard. It is possible that these results are affected by the operating system, and while iOS is specifically designed to work on iPhone mobile phones, Android is a base designed to be adapted to a wide range of devices and manufacturers.



These are still tests carried out by a specific channel, but sticking to the results obtained, Apple still maintains the advantages based on the strong specificity of its own ecosystem, because things work better when everything plays at home and is designed in a specific way.
