Nokia X20 | Is Snapdragon 480 Underpowered? Benchmarks, Speed Test, and Throttling Tested!

Рет қаралды 55,369

Күн бұрын

In this video, I review the performance of the Nokia X20 and its SD480 processor on benchmarks like Antutu, geekbench and Androbench for storage speeds and reveal the Nokia X20's biggest secret. Does the Nokia X20 suffer from throttling?
The video also covers a speed test between the Nokia X20 and the Nokia 8.3 5G, and talks about how the X20 compares against the Samsung Galaxy A52 and A52 when it comes to benchmarks. So, how does the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 compare against the SD662, SD660, SD720, SD765, and SD750?
00:00 - Intro
00:23 - Antutu
02:13 - Geekbench
04:26 - CPU Throttling
05:43 - Androbench and Secret
07:23 - Optimisation
08:14 - Speed Test
09:40 - Conclusion
IMPORTANT UPDATE: An internal document has been shared with me that shows that the phone is in fact using UFS 2.1 and NOT UFS 2.2. I apologize for the mistake.

Great video. Good to see you giving Nokia the attention nobody else is willing to. As expected, the SD480 punches well above its weight. Another good example of how just reading numbers off a specsheet doesn't paint the whole picture. The X20 (especially in that gorgeus blue colour) is now looking really tempting with the 3 year update promise. Now just got to wait to see the Indian pricing.

Yeah the 6.1 are solid devices. When lockdowns where imposed, the old Pentium D desktop went to Tartarus, and I had no laptop, and school tasks where running. Luckily I had bought a USB OTG cable, and had a wireless KBM combo laying around, so I plugged in the receiver, did the tasks and passed the classes.

The perfect review for all who criticized the 480 5G "Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes" "Don't judge the snapdragon 480 until you have seen Abdulla's review" I had an idea about the 480 a when I read an article about it, but your review made it very clear. My only complain is that the 480 don't allow to record 4K video, but if it can record a smooth full HD and better than the 5.4 and 8.3 HOPEFULLY :) it would be very very cool Hope the camera test on its way :) Thank you!

@sergiusflavius 3 жыл бұрын

And in order to make four icons on the screen and it looked like MeeGo, you need to go to the settings, item: Screen, then find the item: Image scale on the screen and make: Maximum. There will be 4 icons on the screen instead of 5. This will be more like MeeGo
