The recently released mobile phone SOC ladder list for December reveals the performance ranking of the current mainstream mobile phone chips. The list comprehensively considers the CPU and GPU scores of mobile phone chips in order to fully evaluate their comprehensive performance. Judging from the list, the current highest-ranking are MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen3, which outperform Apple's A17Pro. This result reflects the fact that while Apple's A-series chips have long been seen as a representation of the lead over Android's chips, this myth has been shattered over time. In fact, since A16, Android chips and Apple chips have begun to go hand in hand.
However, it's important to note that the performance of a chip doesn't just depend on how high it is. The mobile phone experience is also affected by factors such as ecosystem and system optimization. Taking Huawei's Mate60 series as an example, although it is 4 generations different from Apple's iPhone15Pro, it is known that the smoothness of the Mate60 series is not inferior to that of iPhone15Pro. This shows that in daily use, the running score does not fully represent the actual performance of the phone. For most people, the main purpose of mobile phones is to make **, send text messages, surf the Internet, take photos and use various applications, and in these scenarios, the difference in the performance of mid-range and above chips is not too obvious. Therefore, for the vast majority of people, the ladder list is only a reference, not the only factor in determining the purchase decision.
For those users who are keen to play large-scale games, perform high-intensity operations such as big data processing, buying a powerful mobile phone chip is of course the first choice. After all, the chip can be considered the heart of the phone, and its performance determines how well the phone will perform when handling complex tasks. Similar to the human heart, if the difference in heart function between different people is not obvious during a weekday leisure walk, a more powerful heart naturally performs better during strenuous exercise. The same is true for mobile phones, where the gap between a general chip and a powerful chip is not obvious when it comes to ordinary calls, texting, surfing the Internet, and using social networking**. However, when it comes to large-scale games or other tasks that require a lot of computing power, powerful chips can play a clear advantage.
However, at the same time, we also need to know that the vast majority of users are not high-intensity users. They usually only need to do the basic daily operations, such as calling, texting, surfing the Internet, taking photos, and using social networking. In these cases, the mid-range and above chips do not make much difference in terms of smoothness for everyday use. Therefore, when we choose a mobile phone, in addition to paying attention to the performance of the chip, we should also take into account our own usage scenarios. If you are an ordinary user and your requirements for a mobile phone are mainly smooth and practical, then a mid-range and above chip is enough to meet your needs.
In summary, the ladder list has a certain reference value for some users who pursue extreme performance. However, for most users, the phone's performance is not the only factor that determines the purchase decision. When buying a phone, we should also take into account other factors such as camera configuration, battery life, screen quality, etc. These factors will have a direct impact on our experience and satisfaction in our daily use.
In addition, the release of the ladder list also reminds us not to blindly pursue the latest and highest configuration of mobile phones, and ignore our actual needs. Chips are important, but not the only indicator. The most important thing is to find a mobile phone that suits your use scenarios and needs.
Therefore, when buying a mobile phone, I recommend that you not only pay attention to the performance of the chip, but also consider other factors. Only by finding a mobile phone that suits you can you get a better experience. At the same time, we must also understand that the performance of mobile phones is ultimately only to serve our daily use, and choosing a mobile phone that suits our needs is the wisest decision.
