Leaker Ice universe (@UniverseIce) explains how the power saving mode on the Galaxy Z Fold4 works and appreciates it.
Maintains 120Hz refresh rate, suppresses operating frequency
According to Ice universe (@UniverseIce), the Galaxy Z Fold4’s power saving mode keeps the operating frequency of the installed Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 low, but maintains the maximum refresh rate of the display at 120Hz. That’s it.
Regarding the operating frequency of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in power saving mode, he said that Arm Cortex-X2 will be 2.82 GHz, A710 will be 2.57 GHz, and A510 will be 1.67 GHz.
At that time, the Geekbench 5 benchmark score was 1,156 for single core and 3,773 for multicore.
I compared each item with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 during normal operation.
