One more year the war is served. Qualcomm and MediaTek fight to star in the best smartphones of the year and, although Qualcomm seems to be a step ahead, it is also true that the latest MediaTek processors are giving a very good result.
As proof of this, we have decided to collect what, today, are the best mobile phones that you can find on the market equipped with the most powerful processors of each firm despite the fact that, as you all know, they can raise the internal temperature of the phone.
Smartphones with the best Qualcomm processor
Currently, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus is the chipset that dominates the market, but it is barely present in a couple of mobiles, waiting for the brands to launch new phones equipped with this CPU throughout these weeks.
ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro
The true gaming beast of the year is not only that it equips the best processor manufactured by Qualcomm this 2022, it is that, in addition, it has an insulting 18 GB RAM memory capacity . In our tests it has been placed as the most powerful phone of the year, without any rival.
It is accompanied by 512 GB storage, a 6,000 mAh battery and state-of-the-art cooling system, 67 W charging and an amazing 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that runs at 165 Hz.
Xiaomi 12S Ultra
The entire Xiaomi 12S series is powered by the aforementioned Qualcomm processor, but the Ultra model is the best of all thanks to its AMOLED panel with an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz and 2K resolution. Special mention for its triple camera where we find a 50 MP Sony IMX989 main sensor with optical stabilization, accompanied by a 48 MP ultra wide angle along with a 48 MP telephoto lens with 5x zoom.
It has a 4860 mAh battery with a 67W fast charge, but we do not know when it will arrive in our country.
OPPO Find X5 Pro
Beyond the ASUS mobile and the Xiaomi models, at the moment, there are no more terminals with the improved Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . But the Oppo Find X5 Pro is not far behind in power and, in addition, it is rumored that it will be replaced by a model that integrates the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus.
The Find X5 Pro features a ceramic back and a Gorilla Glass Victus-protected front, making the device more than tough. It features 256GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, and 80W SuperVOOC wired charging. In addition to its impressive SoC, the company developed its own image signal processor called Marisilicon X and partnered with Hasselblad to offer improved image processing. the captures we make with your camera.
The best phones ‘Made in MediaTek’
In the case of the Chinese firm, the brand’s “flagship” CPU is the Dimensity 9000+ , a beast manufactured in 4nm that is not yet present in any smartphone. For this reason, we must look at its predecessor, a Dimensity 9000 that fills these 3 terminals with power.
I live X80 Pro
We start the list with a heavyweight. Vivo has gained a lot of relevance in recent years, especially in markets such as Spain. This X80 continues the legacy of offering the best power of the brand and creating a truly premium experience.
In addition to the Dimensity 9000, the X80 comes with Android 12 and a 6.78-inch screen. This screen is AMOLED, compatible with HDR and has a refresh rate of 120 Hz to guarantee the best fluidity. The battery is 4,500mAh, but its 80W fast charge means it can go from 0-50% in just 11 minutes.
Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro
Another Xiaomi phone that, at the moment, we do not know if it will arrive in our country. This device is sold in some markets for less than 500 euros, but, as usual in the Chinese firm, it offers all the features of phones that have a much higher price.
Here we find again the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and Android 12 with a 6.67-inch screen with OLED technology, compatible with Dolby Vision and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The camera is 108 MP, and its 5,000 mAh battery is also It has a 120W fast charge that goes from 0 to 100% in just 19 minutes.
Honor 70Pro+
The Honor 70 Pro+ is the most recent device on the list and although it has only been ‘informally’ presented, many of its specifications have already been confirmed. The Pro + version, the most complete of the family, reaches the Chinese market with a Dimensity 9000 chip that is housed under a 6.78-inch OLED-type panel and with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The fast charge is 100 W and can reach 60% in just 15 minutes, one of the main differences with the rest of the mobiles on this list.
