Precisely...

buying that phone bro? Lol
haha. not sure yet. I'm curious to see if it's really throttling Genshin, and whether it can run the game at 60FPS at medium graphics. but that's about it. other than that, it's like oneplus 10r but with different design, glass back, better cooling?, and better processor? like not much else that are too different. And if it's really throttling in genshin, then the phone is kinda pointless to me liao, considering a big part of their marketing is performance for the price. that's one of the few games that demands having a flagship processor to run properly. if they throttle it.. then what's the point. most other games don't even need that much power at this point in time. like my 10R can run games like MLBB, COD Mobile really smoothly already.
and i have a feeling that it is being throttled considering i've seen 2 videos of the global unit showing genshin with FPS counter, and both are not at the level they should be at for SD8+G1. just have to look at chinese reviewers too see what it's actually capable of since they likely don't dare to throttle Genshin for chinese market since it's being used by most sites as a benchmark. lol. so maybe should just wait and see considering it's not that interesting otherwise. And talking about cheap phone for gaming/genshin, the k50 ultra that was just announced seems even more promising. one chinese reviewer noted that performance in genshin is like ROG 6 in terms of FPS while using less power. lol.
