About Hardware ARM Mali-T860 MP2

Mali-T860 MP2 is ARM's mid-range mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) consisting of 2 shader cores. This GPU is designed to deliver better power efficiency compared to previous generations such as Mali-T760, while still maintaining sufficient graphics performance for daily needs. Mali-T860 MP2 is widely used in older chipsets such as MediaTek MT6750 and Samsung Exynos series 7, and is found in many popular Android devices of its time, such as OPPO F1s, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and other devices.

With support for modern graphics standards such as OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.0, as well as RenderScript and OpenCL 1.2, the Mali-T860 MP2 is capable of running a wide range of Android applications with a smooth interface, stable HD video playback, and light to medium games with adequate performance. While not designed for heavy gaming or intensive 3D-based applications, this GPU is still an ideal choice for an efficient and stable light multitasking experience, especially on devices with HD or HD+ displays.

In tests on devices like the OPPO F1s (refurbished) with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the GPU was able to handle activities like browsing, social media, and video streaming without a hitch. The combination of decent graphics performance and energy efficiency keeps the Mali-T860 MP2 relevant for entry-level devices that are still in use today.

About Hardware Qualcomm Adreno 610

Qualcomm Adreno 610 is a mid-range integrated GPU designed to provide an efficient graphics experience on a wide range of Android devices. The GPU is part of Qualcomm's 6th generation graphics architecture family and is commonly found on chipsets such as Snapdragon 665 and Snapdragon 680, which are widely used in mid-range smartphones. With full support for modern graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, and DirectX 12, Adreno 610 offers good compatibility with the latest Android games and apps, ensuring users can enjoy visual content smoothly and responsively.

In terms of graphics performance, Adreno 610 is designed to support gaming experiences up to Full HD 1080p resolution, providing stable frame rates in light to medium games. While graphics-heavy games may require adjustments to low or medium settings, the Adreno 610 is still capable of running most popular titles quite well. Benchmark testing using a Samsung Galaxy A05s device sporting a Snapdragon 680, 6GB RAM, and 128GB UFS storage showed a score of 40,326 points in AnTuTu v10 GPU and 51,397 points in AnTuTu v9 GPU, illustrating decent graphics performance in its class.

In addition, the score of 348 points on Geekbench 6 Compute reflects the GPU's capability in handling light graphics computing and AI tasks such as image processing, augmented reality (AR), and UI optimization. In the 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme benchmark, the Adreno 610 registered 1,484 points, showing solid performance in OpenGL ES 3.1-based graphics processing. The GPU also supports hardware-based video decoding for efficient codecs such as HEVC (H.265) and VP9, allowing users to enjoy high-quality video with low power consumption - ideal for streaming or watching long videos.

With a balance between power efficiency, support for the latest graphics technology, and performance that is capable enough for daily needs, Qualcomm Adreno 610 is the perfect GPU solution for mid-range smartphones that prioritize battery life, casual gaming experience, and smooth multimedia. For users looking for stable performance without sacrificing energy efficiency, Adreno 610 is still a relevant and competitive choice this year.
