EnderMahan November 28, 2025 at 12:52 PM Snapdragon is a good CPU 0 Reply Phenom July 8, 2023 at 06:03 AM This review cracks me up, it's clear the snapdragon 680 is better but it's labeled as a "low-end chip" but the worse g88 is "mid-range" 😂 +393 Reply Kano May 16, 2023 at 08:16 AM The biggest upside to the SD680 is the phenomenal battery life. +177 Reply RKDreal March 9, 2023 at 05:51 PM SMD 680 is great for multitasking and other tasks, but it's unplayable when gaming. It only gives 2 to 10 FPS on a 6GB RAM Redmi 10 (in Free Fire training grounds). I have a Lava phone with Unisoc 9863A and 2GB RAM, but it gives 31 FPS (in Free Fire training grounds). While 680 has good performance, it can't be used for gaming. At first, it may seem smooth, but after 2 minutes it starts to drop FPS. I wouldn't recommend buying an SMD 680 phone if you want to game. +170 Reply Phenom March 17, 2023 at 08:00 AM That's not true, I play Apex legends Mobile at 40 fps, smooth and normal graphics with no frame drops, what the heck do you mean by 2 - 10 fps in freefire?!?. I used to play 60 fps and ultra graphics in freefire. +366 Reply Name Message Send Send Comparisons
