Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Mediatek Helio X10 vs Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650 Benchmarks

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Mediatek Helio X10 vs Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650 Benchmarks As I am currently in possession of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (3GB/32GB/Helio X10) and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (3GB/32GB/Snapdragon 650) I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to compare these SoCs in a common hardware platform. The specifications of the SoCs, as clocked in the Xiaomi devices, are as follows: Mediatek Helio X10 - MT6795 8 x ARM A53 @ 2Ghz PowerVR G6200 @ 700Mhz Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 2 x ARM A72 @ 1.8Ghz 4 x ARM A53 @ 1.4Ghz Adreno 510 @ 600Mhz Both SoCs are great mid range offerings, with the Snapdragon 650 being pretty close to last years flagships - in particular the Snapdragon 808, with its 2xA57 + 4xA53 cores. The A57 is, of course, an inferior core to the A72 in the Snapdragon 650, but it runs at a slightly higher 2Ghz in the 808.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Mediatek Helio X10 vs Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650 Camera

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Mediatek Helio X10 vs Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650 Camera In my previous post I outlined the difference between the performance of the two variants of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - the Standard Helio X10 and Pro Snapdragon 650 versions. In addition to containing an enhanced SoC, another enhancement found in the Pro line is a 16MP Samsung Camera, up from the 13MP unit found in the Standard edition. Camera Units Standard - 13MP Samsung S5K3M2 Sensor Pro - 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 sensor Test Photos While I took a number of photos, the results were all quite similar. Whether HDR was On or Off, the photos from the Pro version were noticeably superior. In general, the Standard edition pictures were far more washed out than the Pro, in addition to containing less detail. The Daffodil photo above was taken with HDR disabled. The Pro version is the lower photo. The Garden photo above was taken with HDR on. An identical photo with HDR off shows similar traits. Above we have a c...
