Recently, the release of Huawei's nova 12 series has attracted widespread attention, especially its performance has caused some heated discussions. When it debuted, the Nova 12 Pro scored only 553019 in Antutu, which is not even as good as the Snapdragon 778G on the Vitality version, which may have made Yu Chengdong feel a little unhappy. However, we need to give Huawei more understanding and time, because they have clearly put in the effort.
Initial data shows that the Nova 12 Pro's 550,000 points are slightly inferior to the Snapdragon 778G in the vibrant version, raising some questions. However, it is worth noting that after the full score of the Kirin 8000 was revealed, the Nova 12 Pro only reached 550,000 points, while the Vitality version equipped with the 4G Snapdragon 778G stabilized at 580,000 points. This seems a bit unexpected and raises questions about whether the Kirin 8000 is capable enough.
The analysis shows that the Kirin 8000 has undergone a major adjustment, and the final CPU core only retains 1 large core + 3 medium cores + 4 small cores, and the GPU has been replaced with Mali-G610, making the performance relatively ordinary compared to the Snapdragon 778G. However, it is reassuring to know that the Kirin 8000 still supports 5G, which is in line with the positioning of the Pioneer Project. The performance may be average, but we can think of it as Huawei's version of 778G.
Although the initial performance score is not satisfactory, don't forget that the nova 12 series has HarmonyOS tuning, which makes the daily experience quite good compared to some flagship phones. Huawei's nova 12 series may gradually get rid of the limitation of 778G in the future and become the next generation of trend-setting force.
Excitingly, after a period of transition, the nova 12 series' performance and actual experience have shown a clear trend of improvement. For the Ultra and Pro versions that will soon be equipped with the Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000, the benchmark data has surfaced. In the Antutu test, the nova 12 Ultra scored 591776 points overall, but the graphics card was not accurately recognized, so the actual performance may be better. The Nova 12 Pro, on the other hand, has an overall score of 593,310 points, and the graphics card is accurately identified and presents specific results.
Let's turn the page in 2023 Considering that the Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000 have just been released, there may be incompatibilities in the test software, resulting in zero results for the nova 12 Ultra graphics card. However, if these factors are excluded, we still need to wait and see how the two Kirin processors perform more in actual use.
