I Tested the First Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Phone! Ft. Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro

In this video, we have tested the world's first Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phone to find out if it is actually an underpowered version of the flagship 8 Gen 3 or is it an overclocked 7 series chipset. We also ran benchmarks and tested games such as BGMI, Genshin Impact, etc.

The phone featured in this video is the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro.

Qualcomm is utter mad with their chipset names these days.

[arthgohelcs-]

The "s" in 8s gen 3 stands for SLOW 😂

[anshusarkar]

So they couldn't name it 7++ gen3 ?

[Faraz-cse]

Same like 7s Gen 2 which was basically upgrade over 6 Gen 1.

[seadwellerind]

It would have been bonkers if 8s gen3 was a slightly overclocked version of 8 gen2 with the same GPU setup, because the GPU in 8 gen2 is miles ahead of what is being offered on 7+ Gen2 (talking on terms efficiency and power consumption)
But albeit this turned out to be an Intel like move from snapdragon by confusing us consumers with complex naming schemes lmao, the video addressed my doubts regarding this mysterious chipset (thank you!!), Hoping that Poco F6 would launch with 8 Gen2 instead of this processor, although chances are slim for that to happen.

Literally, tech companies needs some special persons for the Product naming… 😵

[Gabik]

The naming of Snapdragon processors is overally pretty confusing, especially with the 7 series.

[sufiyankhan]

You are right about the performance here. I agree that it similar to a midrange chipset and not a flagship one.
But things to remember: 8 series processors even if low performance has advantage of flagship chips like AI features and their update cycle is way more, because of which Samsung and Google can give 7 years of updates

1:35 I laughed so hard at the score😂 It's just unbelievable

[finisherxs]

It has half the cache of 8 gen 3/2. Which makes it less efficient and it runs hot also gpu is significantly weaker than 8gen2. Both 7+gen3 & 8s gen 3 are 30k smartphones SoC.

[BigT]

Love when channels call out companies marketing tricks. You have my respect.

[kingstontheoneandonly]

It would be better if manufacturers started using 7 plus gen 2 now in mid range phones

[Roypriya]

Counting down the days until I get my hands on the Xiaomi 14 Civi! Heard the camera is a game-changer, can't wait to test it out.

[SumanthLatestTech]

Better you should have compared with 8 gen 1 and 8 gen 2 chips which are exactly same powered processors and should be compared to a equally balanced exinos and meditech processor in that region of chipsets not with high end

[AngryLad_]

2:51 bro keeps using the same goofy aah team 💀

[sv]

2:32 are you sure ? It literally has same cpu core structure as 8gen3 with different clock speeds🤷, it's just that 7+ gen 3 is soo good it makes 8s gen 3 look like a minor upgrade.

[francinenicolemalcredo]

Thanks for this..almost bought F6..now Im buying X6 pro

[amithabhanand]

But 8s gen3 have in chip AI features not in 7+ gen 3

[ihabhaydaw]

7 plus gen 3 oc is the best name for that chip

[rygskufud]

the two chips are so close that it comes down to the tuning
