Graphics, Throttling, Storage Operation

CPU performance is simply one part of the story, but it'south no real surprise that again, the Pixel two Xl matches other Snapdragon 835 devices in raw GPU performance.

In that location are a wide variety of display resolutions used in flagship phones, and then it's worth taking a wait at how the Pixel ii 40 with its 2880 x 1440 brandish stacks up. Relative the HTC U11, which uses the Snapdragon 835 and has a standard 1440p display, the Pixel two XL was about 4 pct slower in onscreen benchmarks. This gap extends to 38 percent compared to the OnePlus v, which uses a 1080p display.

If you're moving from a Google Pixel 40, expect effectually a 13 to 26 percent performance uplift in games; those coming from the Nexus 6P should expect around double the performance.

One of the great aspects to the Pixel 2 Twoscore is that it throttles by a relatively modest margin after 30 minutes of intense gaming. I still observed a 25 percent reject in performance compared to its peak, though phones like the HTC U11 (37%) and Xiaomi Mi 6 (43%) are far worse offenders. The merely modern Android phone that throttles less is the OnePlus 5, at just 7% but at the expense of oestrus.

This result does mean the OnePlus five is more than twice equally fast as the Pixel 2 XL in long term gaming, though a lot of this comes downwardly to the discrepancy in resolution. While the Pixel ii XL does have a loftier resolution display, I didn't experience whatsoever slowdowns while gaming.

Storage performance is one of the key areas to receive a large boost in the Pixel 2 Xl. Performance was relatively weak with the Pixel XL, just this isn't the example with the Pixel 2 Twoscore, equally the phone now approaches some of the fastest phones in the market when information technology comes to NAND. The Huawei P10 still outperforms all contenders in the Android space at this stage, but the Pixel line is no slouch any more.
