OPPO F7 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Benchmarks Comparison – MediaTek Helio P60 vs Snapdragon 636

The Redmi Note 5 Pro and OPPO F7 represent some of the most powerful smartphones that both the brands have to offer. What’s even more interesting is that they both sport all new chipsets. The Redmi Note 5 Pro with the Snapdragon 636 and the OPPO F7 with the MediaTek Helio P60, both smartphones are the first of their kind. We put the two through our standard test benchmark suite and here are the results. 

To put things in perspective, the Snapdragon 636 chipset in the Redmi Note 5 Pro has 8 x Kryo 260 cores clocked at up to 1.8Ghz. This is paired with the Adreno 509 GPU. The chip is built on a 14nm process. Meanwhile, the MediaTek Helio P60 sports 4 Cortex A73 cores and 4 Cortex A53 cores arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration. All the cores are clocked at up to 2.0 GHz. What this means is that high-performance tasks will activate the A73 cores while the A53 cores are responsible for maintaining battery efficiency. The GPU here is the Mali G72MP3.  So how do the two phones fare? Let’s find out.
