What is the Difference between Flagship Phones and Gaming Phones?
As we know so far, smartphones are divided into several large categories, namely flagship, high-range and midle-range. But recently with the proliferation of Android games that have given birth to professional gamers, even to the point of giving birth to a new branch of sport, namely e-sports, to accommodate these gamers, smartphone manufacturers have released a new category of cellphones, namely gaming smartphones.
For those of you who are still confused about distinguishing flagship smartphones and gaming smartphones, the author will try to compare the black shark 2 pro smartphone which is a gaming cellphone and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 which is included in the flagship cellphone category.
Okay, now let's try to discuss the differences between these 2 cellphones in terms of their category types. Both of these smartphones use the best processors from Qualcomm. For the Galaxy Note 10, it uses the Snapdragon 855, although in some countries it uses the Exynos 985 processor, while the Black Shark 2 Pro uses the Snapdragon 855 + processor.
What distinguishes these two processors is their clock speed. For the Snapdragon 855, it has 1 Kryo 485 chipset at a speed of 2.8 GHz, plus 3 485 chipsets at a speed of 2.4 GHz and 4 Kryo chipsets at a speed of 1.7GHz.
While the Snapdragon 855 + processor has a configuration of 1 Kryo chipset at a speed of 2.96 GHz, plus 3 Kryo chipsets at a speed of 2.42 GHz and 4 Kryo chipsets at a speed of 1.78 GHz.
The Adreno 640 GPU is used by both smartphones, but has a fairly significant speed difference. For the Snapdragon 855, it has a speed of 585 MHz while the Snapdragon + has a speed of 672 MHz. So it is natural that in the Black Shark 2 Pro benchmark test it has better results than the Galaxy Note 10.
With this increase in performance, there is something that must be paid by the Black Shark 2 Pro, namely the cellphone will heat up faster. But this has been anticipated by the manufacturer by using a cooling system called Direct Touch Liquid Cooling System 3.0.
This cooling system is claimed to be able to touch all devices that do produce excessive heat, so that the black shark 2 pro can be 14 degrees Celsius cooler when compared to other smartphones, including flagship smartphones.
The next difference is in the screen technology, both the galaxy note 10 and the black shark 2 pro both use OLED-based screens. The galaxy note 10 uses a conventional screen type, while the black shark 2 pro embeds 240 GHz touch-sensing technology, this makes the black shark 2 pro have a much smaller input lag, so gamers can play more comfortably, because in e-sports matches 1 ms can determine the win or lose of gamers.
For the level of precision, the black shark 2 pro screen reaches 0.3 mm, and has a screen response speed of 34.7 ms. Black shark 2 pro also supports a 60 Hz refresh rate, so playing popular android games that are currently available will run very smoothly.
The next difference, black shark 2 pro is equipped with special software for gamers, namely shark space. With this shark space software, gamers can block incoming calls, prioritize internet networks and optimize smartphones for playing games with just one click.
Last but not least is the issue of battery capacity, gamers usually play regardless of time and place, so whenever and wherever they have to be able to play games. Therefore, battery life is the most crucial thing for gamers. Black shar 2 pro uses a 4,000 mAh battery, and the galaxy note 10 uses a 3,500 mAh battery.
Thus the difference between flagship and gaming smartphones, hopefully readers can be enlightened by the review above, and are no longer confused about distinguishing the 2 categories of flagship and gaming phones.
