Galaxy Note 9 vs FORTNITE - Does It Overheat?

2018-08-18
what's up guys Eber here with hard-working acts and I'm back with some exciting content regarding the new Galaxy Note 9 now I've been using this phone ever since launch and I know my first impressions video I talked about how the 6 point 4 inch display was a big upgrade for me personally coming from the pixel 2 but having used this over the weekend I'm actually slowly getting used to it and I'm actually enjoying my time watching content on the note 9 now there are so many features to explore with the note 9 because it is a feature pack device and you know hence the price tag of $1,000 but I actually wanted to test something pretty interesting that Samson did claim during their note 9 presentation and that is the implementation of an advanced water carbon cooling system inside the note 9 and Natta says she prevents the phone from overheating especially when you intend to play you know game if you intend to gain on the note 9 so I'm actually gonna validate that because if you think about it every flagship smartphone out there that comes with the highest end processor so in this case we have the snapdragon 845 octa-core CPU 6 gigs of ram 120 gigabytes of storage so in order to dissipate the amount of heat you know engineers have to design a cooling solution that's a lot more efficient but also doesn't you know give you an unpleasant experience with overheating while you're you know playing a game or something like that so I'm gonna validate that with a few tools that I have here in the studio in fact I do have one important tool I'm really excited to try out so yeah let's take a look at it and validate those or validate the water cooling system inside the note 9 but first a quick message from our sponsor treat your ears with the incredibly comfortable HD 5/8 X Jubilee headphones from mass drop and some Heiser delivering sound expected from $500 headphones but only for a hundred fifty bucks making it one of the best price to performance skins available check out and join the drop down below alright so the testing methodology for this is actually pretty straightforward I'll be playing a couple of first-person shooter games on the Galaxy Note 9 the first one doesn't really need any much of an introduction because it has been a heavily anticipated or I guess a heavily requested title for the Android platform and interesting enough it's exclusive to the note 9 and a few select Samsung devices folks fortnight is officially hitting the Play stores very soon and I'm pretty excited to try it out myself for the first time next up we have pub G for Android that also flexes the Adreno 630 GPU and I chose this title specifically to create a point of comparison to my Google pixel - since fortnight is currently not available at least at the time of making this video on the pixel - and a few Android devices in fact it was a collaboration between Epic Games and Samsung during the note night launch to bring fortnight exclusively on the note 9 and the newly announced Galaxy Tab as for tablet and now if you are interested in playing for tonight on the Android and if you want to test out the Android beta program you can actually sign up on their website and you'll be part of the invite list where they'll you know randomly pick a hand pick a bunch of you know users and you will be able to play fortnight on the Android platform so I'll leave a link to that in the description down below now there are a couple of things I'm looking forward to when testing fortnight on the note 9 and pub G on both the note 9 and the pixel - one of them is of course the temperatures because if you're gaming on an Android smartphone you want to be able to game at a comfortable setting you don't want your you know hands to sort of sweat over time and of course prevent overheating because that's something that we're looking into so temperatures is definitely gonna play a huge factor when it comes to this testing methodology the second one is of course what the what's the experience like because if you look at both the note 9 and the pixel the primary difference between these two devices is of course their screen size so you know is it gonna is the bigger screen gonna give you a lot more advantage when it comes to a gaming or are you much better off on gaming on a smaller display so that's something that I'm also going to tackle so I'll be using the FLIR efore thermal camera to actually test or evaluate the temperatures on both the front side of the display and the rear side of the phone to see what the temperatures are like especially you know after playing these games for about 15 minutes so that gives us roughly a good amount of time to you know get the phone warm up and of course see where the temperatures are peaking at so starting off with fortnight on the galaxy note 9 I've gotta admit it was actually an amazing experience playing in for the first time on the mobile platform in fact this is my first time playing 49 in the first place and so it got me a few trials to sort of get used the gameplay and of course after 15 minutes of runtime I was able to get a temperature reading of around forty five point nine degree Celsius on the front side of the display and switching over to the rear side I got a temperature reading of around forty two point nine degree Celsius so it's certainly warmer to the touch I wouldn't say it's way too warm because I can certainly comfortably game on it I can certainly feel the heat coming out of the SOC but that's obvious given that it's pushing really hard on the six point four inch qHD plus display so definitely keep your expectations medium I'd say if that makes any sense because don't expect you know the phone to stay completely cool while gaming on it because it is an SOC that's not actively cooled so keep your expectations somewhere along those lines but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the results in the comments down below are you impressed switching to pop G we saw a temperature readout of around forty three point seven degrees Celsius on the front side and on the rear we got a readout of around forty two point four degrees Celsius so it's definitely respectable alright so switching to the pixel two running pub G and I definitely noticed an increase in temperature compared to the galaxy note nine so as you can see with the front display I got a reading around forty five degrees Celsius and switching to the rear side I got a temperature readout of around forty five point seven degrees Celsius so hitting the forty six degrees Celsius mark which is definitely a little bit hotter on compared to the galaxy note nine and it kind of raises a few questions because one the SOC on the pixel two is actually located somewhere around the fingerprint reader so that could be a little bit of a limitation because it's right beside the camera and there might not be as much of a you know the the cooling solution on the pixel two might not be as efficient compared to the galaxy note 9 but that being said I did feel like you know this part of the phone was it felt a little bit warmer so that's something to consider but like I said both these games can still play just fine the one thing that I will mention is that I did experience a few framedrops on the pixel too because it's running you know a slightly outdated version a Snapdragon 835 which is a year old CPU compared to the eight forty five processor on the galaxy note 9 so we could definitely expect a little bit of a performance difference between the two which is obvious but you can still game on the pixel two this is still a pretty good smartphone at that but out of these two smartphones which one would I pick for gaming to be honest I might actually have to go with the galaxy note none because the six point four inch display is just amazing to look at and of course you get a lot more real estate when it comes to you know running around the gameplay and of course you get a lot more detail and the whole experience just you know shooting your targets is really is an immersive experience and you don't feel like you're crammed and you don't feel like you're just focusing on a smaller screen like the pixel 2 which is a little bit crammed in my opinion when you're gaming on it and I think that's where something like the note none can come in really beneficial if you're looking for a smartphone for gaming because man the 6.4 display on this guy is just it's amazing well folks that about wraps up this video and for those of you are wondering how the water carbon cooling solution on the note 9 would play out especially with games like 49 and babji well now we know by the results and you know I want to hear your thoughts on this whole implementation especially when it comes to smartphone brands trying to push their limits when it comes from display tech and you know cramming in the best in terms of specs thermals is definitely something that some brands tend to compromise on but it looks like the note 9 seems to handle that relatively well and I can't wait to explore some more features with this device so definitely stay tuned for more content
