@elephant18512 years ago You would need a radiator and a fan to sustain even a 5 watt cpu at peak performance. But you can run it at peak for about 5 minutes, and then slow it games, especially 3d games often require every bit of performance out of the chip and for extended periods of time. You can limit the frame rate to save power and prevent the chip from heating up but everyone wants more, always. Most games on smartphones are limited to 30fps even if your screen can refresh at 90 or 120hz the game still render at a lower rate and at a lower resolution than your screen' s native specs. This is all done in the name of reducing power consumption and heat. Out of most apps, games are by far the most power hungry and demanding of performance. Designing software that reduces power consumption and heat while allowing the chip to perform as fast as it can under the given constraints is what every smartphone maker should be doing. That the problem is the tendency of manufacturers to believe their users are idiots and providing zero control over these features.
to samsung' s credit they have given toggles and switches for a lot of the stuff - i was pleasantly surprised to find a " limit battery charge to 85%quot; function in the settings of my note that was not there before. It was like a nostalgic moment reminding me why i am a note user. Silliness aside, i think as the demand for high performance on smartphones gets higher and higher we will start seeing more controls over the power management software.
demand for performance has outpaced progress in making chips more efficient (do more for less watts) so clever software is used instead to manage chips that consume more power than ever before. New phones nowadays are designed around this and are simply not meant to perform at 100% power for any longer than about 5 min. It' s an understandable compromise but users need more control over this. ...Expand 221

@virtual22882 years ago I' d basically say that most smartphones have a bottleneck in cooling. And chip manufacturers are extending the bottleneck. And instead should work to solve it so that bumping their performance actually matters. 27

@picklerick_912 years ago Theres something that needs to be said from this i would prefer that everyone needs to have a certain level of transparency when showing the next gen id="hidden7" chips essentially for me all day battery life compared w less time near a wall outlet is what i really need forget thinness of the phones larger more thicker phones w a good amount of efficiency and good battery savings paired a good durable housing and easily replaceable parts is key to me getting my phone moving forward.

@--DM2 years ago Insightful video arun! You raised very important points regarding battery life, chips power and" dishonestly" limiting performance.
what do you think about the actual batteries capacity? Do you think it is fair for consumers to overpay forchips and othercomponents while getting suboptimal batteries? What do you think about manufacturers putting 450-600 wh/l batteries when there are 750-850 wh/l batteries available in the market? That would effectively give 30-50% more energy for smartphones per every charge for the same size battery!
should smartphone manufacturers move to 60-70mah batteries for premium models such as s22ultra, iphone 13 max and etc?. ...Expand 2

@kstar32492 years ago I have a question unrelated to this.
i have a samsung s8 and was given a samsung s 9 (used) from a family member. It had to get the s 9 unlocked i have 2 service providers and two different numbers, so was hoping to use the two phones with now issue.
my s8 was working very well until i collected the s9 that i had unlocked, and sim with other number from different provider put in immediately.
as soon as i got in the car and checking the two phones, immediately the s8 started giving trouble to come on, started blinking, changing colours etc.
when i switch off the s9 the s 8 seems to be doing fine without most of the issues.
what could be the issue? I need the two phones on at the same time, different people have different numbers to contact me on.
i just find it strange that the phone was fine up until it got the other phone and both are in good condition. ...Expand

@DeadRyGuy2 years ago This was a phenomenal video, excellent breakdown of the situation. As a long time samsung user (s6, s7, s10, s21) i' ve read lots of speculation that although i understand why hardware manufacturers are doing what they are doing, i do hope to see some changes in the near term (as more adequate cooling and power solutions will take time, and likely increase cost)
i hope that phone manufacturers will be more transparent about what exactly their software does, and that users will beto disable services as they see fit. As long as users are informed of potential risks, it should be a user' s prerogative to do what they want with what they own. I also hope some sort of industry standard is adopted for how (mobile) chips are tested and compared. Peak performance is fine, but for what length of time can it be sustained? More importantly, what level of performance (and efficiency) can be had for say, 30 minutes at a time?
generally, i think people who care about this stuff understand that hardware is limited by it' s cooling, and understand that some throttling is acceptable. Just as long as there is transparency, that' s my big thing. ...Expand 91
