IPhone 12 Pro Thermal Throttling Vs Galaxy Z Fold 2 This IS BAD! By TechTablets

Hi everyone Chris here so I've seen a lot of messages on youtube and via dms on Twitter, to check out a super demanding game. It's called kinship impact, it's a cross-platform game, that's also on consoles and PC, but it is on the iPhone iOS, and it's also on android. So in this particular review. I'm going to do a head-to-head thermal throttling test gaming performance test and benchmarks, the iPhone 12 Pro up against the Samsung Galaxy zed fold, 2. So which one of these is going to thermal throttle, the most which is going to get the hottest and are we going to see a significant drop in performance when these two heat up playing such a demanding game? Let's find out all right, so before I jump into some gameplay just quickly, we're going to get a base score here for an tutu, and I'm going to run this after doing one hour of intense gaming with Jensen impact on the maximum settings which I'll show you shortly. So you can see here.

We've got just under 600 000, with the iPhone 12 Pro and then just over six hundred thousand points with the Samsung Galaxy z fold. Two now the z42 has eight cores. This has the snapdragon 865 plus and on the apple here, we've got six cores, and it has that bionic a14, which has a five nanometer process, and we'll get a baseline here on our thermals as well. So ambient temperatures right now are between 23 and 24 degrees, and you can see the phones themselves very similar temperatures there's only about one degree, not even that in it. So the fold you can see 22 degrees and on the iPhone, approximately 23, with slightly different materials here that both of them are using.

Now I've calibrated my thermal camera for the shiny surfaces, so it should be accurate here what we are looking at and now to check actually loading up the game, so I've got the same area on the map, and it should be the same time of day as well, both of the phones connected up to the same Wi-Fi network and also both of the phones on the without cases. Sorry, so that's not going to affect the thermal so tapped at the same time we'll see which one loads first uh, the iPhone 12 Pro definitely looks faster, also tapped at the same time, and let's see how long it takes to actually get in game here. So look at that iPhone, 12 pro definitely speeding ahead, wow. That was really quick, very, very quick there, and you can see many seconds behind on the fold two here, so settings wise, I'm going to be running the exact same graphical settings on both of them we'll see the performance so just to point it out so under settings here that I'm going to set both of them, graphics and the graphics you can see it says custom. This is basically the highest setting.

Both of them are 60 frames per second, so I'll do that again on both. So here I will select simply highest and right here. Custom move that to highest again it's going to say custom because I set it to 60 frames per second, all right, which is an absolute battery killer for both of these devices. So the frame rate option right here set to 60. That is great exit out.

Okay, so both of them right now. You can see huge difference, of course, in screen size and very, very immersive having a larger screen and playing on this one. Both of them have perfect loudspeakers. So performance here looks very smooth and good on the fold too, very smooth as well and looking great on that iPhone 12 Pro. So what I'm going to do now is leave it for one hour and a game on both of them in the same areas of the map.

Just simply just move it around and let's have a look at the performance. Now after one hour will one of these devices throttle and what about all thermals I'll check on that as well, so this performance is as expected, it is very smooth. It is great here on the fold too. Now it does seem to look sharper on the iPhone 12 Pro. Perhaps maybe it has a slightly different level of graphics, but I think it's actually just down to the fact that it has a smaller screen on the iPhone 12 Pro.

So the PPI of course, is better, and it just makes it a little sharper, but here so far gameplay is good. Now I'll just do the same. Hopefully I won't die on the fold right here. Do the same now with the iPhone 12, and it's already actually feeling a little warmer to me. It hasn't taken long for it to get a bit warm and performance here is good so far, and actually I'm already seeing like a little of stutter here, maybe because of the graphic settings, and graphically they're very, very similar.

Here I mean I do have it set, as I showed you on the same settings, and I'm just starting to detect just a little. Just then a micro starter here and there it shouldn't actually be happening. So when I smooth a skull around here, it's just now, and then it does a little of a butter. I don't know why that's happening, probably optimization, or could it actually be? The hardware is this GPU starting to throttle is the iPhone 12 Pro now throttling a little and let's go back here to the fold too. It seems to be exactly the same, also getting warm so both of the devices are warm, and I'll check after one hour of just testing this out how warm both of them are going to get break out that thermal probe.

So let's speed ahead now, one hour of both of these gaming plane, Jin Chen impact all right, so it's actually been about 47 minutes. I don't think I can make it to one hour, because the iPhone battery is going to get below 30 then, and I still need some battery life for an an tutu test, so temperature wise front of the screen's very, very similar you can see about both of them 40 degrees. Let's turn them over. Okay and we'll have a look on the back side of them which one's getting the hottest. Clearly, the iPhone they're quite a bit warmer, actually that's 45 degrees, almost 47 46 and actually not bad at all on the fold.

So the fold here you can see is getting up to approximately 37 38 39, okay, 40 degrees still warm, but the back almost 48 degrees on the iPhone 12 Pro okay, so they're being both running now for almost 50 minutes, I showed you the temperatures they're both getting warm but clearly the iPhone is warmer there. So what I'm going to do now is exit out of both of these kill everything that's going on in the background, and I'm going to run then and tutu okay. So I need to kill everything. I don't want that running so now. There is nothing running in the background of both of these phones here and let's go and find and tutu bring that up.

Okay and two I'm going to run in here now. What I'm going to do is speed the phone ahead, oh something in Chinese. Sorry, I hit the wrong button. Okay, so there are the results before now: they're, both warm, let's see how much are they going to throttle so remember the score, and now I'm going to run it again, and I shall just simply speedy hit here, so we'll go test again. Sorry need to get back test again on both all right, so this is completely unexpected.

I thought the galaxy zed fold 2 would throttle a lot more than it has right here, so it has barely throttled down. It's gone from just over 600 000 to now just below 600 000 points, but take a look at the iPhone 12 Pro. It's gone from.580 000 points to almost losing a hundred thousand points here, almost 490 000. , that's a significant drop now. I know that this isn't entirely fair in terms of thermal performance.

We have a much larger phone here. They can probably dissipate that heat a lot easier through its frame and being larger, of course, that acts as a much larger passive heat sink. Now, if anyone has an iPhone, 12 pro or the iPhone 12, please, if you've got one run, the same test run the game at the highest possible visual settings, 60 frames per second. Let us all know in the comments. Are you seeing clear frame dips? Are you seeing stutter? Are you seeing your phone getting very hot? It also kills the battery life we've found a new battery life killer.

It burns through both of these devices, so quick that you're really only getting about an hour's game play on the iPhone and maybe about two hours, game play or two and a half on the fold. Two, depending of course on your brightness. That's another thing: I keep the brightness of the screens exactly the same ambient temperature, exactly the same, tried to play for the exact same time on each device and always kept it running to make this fair. So thank you so much for watching this video. If you liked it, if you thought it was interesting, educational, please do give a thumbs up subscribe for more up and coming comparisons.

I'll actually be doing a camera comparison between both of these that I'm about to go out tonight when it gets dark to get some low light photo samples. So I hope to see you back with that video.
