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

**Jinshin Impact: A Deep Dive into iPhone 12 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Gaming Performance**

In recent times, a surge of interest has emerged around the game *Jinshin Impact*, with many viewers and social media users requesting comparisons between smartphone devices. This article delves into a detailed review comparing the gaming performance, thermal throttling, and benchmarks of two flagship smartphones: the iPhone 12 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. The comparison focuses on their ability to handle *Jinshin Impact*, a graphically intensive game available across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android.

**Antutu Baseline Scores**

Before diving into gameplay, it's essential to establish a baseline for performance metrics. Using the widely recognized Antutu benchmark tool, both devices were tested under ambient temperatures of 23-24 degrees Celsius. The iPhone 12 Pro scored just under 600,000 points, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 slightly edged ahead with just over 600,000 points. Notably, the Fold 2 boasts an 8-core Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, whereas the iPhone 12 Pro features a 6-core Apple A14 Bionic chip, fabricated on a cutting-edge 5-nanometer process.

**Loading Speed and Initial Gameplay**

Both devices were connected to the same Wi-Fi network without cases, ensuring fair testing conditions. Upon launching *Jinshin Impact*, it became evident that the iPhone 12 Pro had a significant edge in loading speed. The Fold 2 lagged notably, taking several seconds longer to load the game.

**Graphical Settings and Gameplay Performance**

The review proceeded with both devices set to the highest graphical settings, capped at 60 frames per second (FPS), which is known for its high battery consumption. Both phones demonstrated impressive performance initially, with smooth gameplay and vibrant visuals. The iPhone 12 Pro's smaller screen size resulted in higher pixel density, giving it a slight edge in visual sharpness.

**Thermal Testing After Extended Gaming**

After approximately 50 minutes of continuous gaming, both devices showed signs of thermal throttling. The iPhone 12 Pro reached temperatures as high as 48 degrees Celsius on the back, while the Fold 2 maintained cooler temperatures around 37-40 degrees Celsius. This discrepancy can be attributed to the Fold's larger form factor, which aids in effective heat dissipation.

**Post-Gaming Thermal Recovery and Retesting**

Following the gaming session, both devices were allowed to cool down before undergoing a second Antutu test. The results were unexpected: the Galaxy Z Fold 2 showed minimal performance degradation, dropping only slightly below its initial score. In contrast, the iPhone 12 Pro experienced a significant drop, losing nearly 100,000 points from its original score.

**Conclusion and Final Thoughts**

The review concludes that while both devices performed admirably under pressure, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 demonstrated superior thermal management, preventing drastic performance drops. The iPhone 12 Pro, despite its impressive initial scores, struggled more with heat dissipation, leading to noticeable throttling. Readers are encouraged to share their experiences and insights in the comments regarding their own device's performance on *Jinshin Impact*.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone chris here so i've seen a lot of messages in youtube and via dms on twitter to check out a super demanding game it's called jinshin 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 antutu and i'm going to run this after doing one hour of intense gaming with jenshan 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 really good 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 gonna 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 bit 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 bit 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 bit 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 bit 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 bit of a jutter 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 bit and let's go back here to the fold too it seems to be exactly the same also getting warm so both 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 antutu 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 gonna do now is exit out of both of these kill everything that's going on in the background and i'm gonna 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 two i'm gonna run in here now what i'm gonna do is speed the phone ahead oh something in chinese sorry i hit the wrong button okay so there's 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 zedfold 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 heatsink 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 videohi everyone chris here so i've seen a lot of messages in youtube and via dms on twitter to check out a super demanding game it's called
