It means that the processor in your phone was made by the company called Qualcomm and that it has 8 cores (Us) inside, but that does not tell us the full name of the processor as Qualcomm has designed plenty Octacore chipsets.

Since the full name of the chipset is not published I can guess the company that has that bad habit of not releasing the full details of specs
I don't want to fall my hand but if I don't ask I won't know. Does that means Qualcomm, Snapdragon, Mediatek, Exynos are company's making their chipsets?

You can only fall your hand while asking the question, when you receive the answer and assimilate it you become wiser. There are many people that don't understand stuff, but because they don't want to "fall their hands" or appear stupid - they refuse to ask questions, choosing instead to remain ignorant.

The U's brain is called the SoC. It is an integrated circuit that contains U cores, GPU, RAM, ROM, Network modems, WiFi and Bluetooth radio etc all soldered on one chip hence the name "System on a Chip" or SoC.

Another name for an SoC is simply just processor.
So you are saying the U and processor are both different? Okay

Na wa.

Smartphone set up is different from PC oh.

The U is the brain (processor) of a PC.

But smartphones are built differently. Smartphones have an SoC composed of different components of which the U cores are a part of.

The SoC is the processor of a Smartphone.

If you had actually bothered to read through, you would have gotten your answer.

No vex.

I was exasperated. A lot of people are using PC or laptop knowledge to deal with phones. Before you, I've had to answer this same question several times.

The PC processor is a totally different thing from ioS/Android set up.

For PC, the U na single unit on e own, but with phones, the U doesn't stand alone. Instead, it is part of a small chip along with the other GPU, RAM, ROM etc. So we call that small chip an SoC.

Have a great evening sir.

Thanks for the information OP
I believe most phone brands should educate their fans about stuff like this. Tecno or others.

Gionee S11 lite

Gionee S11 lite is okay. It's an entry level device that's quite old. 2017 was when it was made. As at then it could be considered a budget device, now it's fallen to entry level.

For games, I'd recommend low settings for PES, PUBG, CoD. It should do fine with those. But as for Fortnite, only phones with SD 675 and above can play it. Even my SD 660 has no hope of playing it.

No. Sorry. I have no experience in that area myself especially on Gionee phones.

@atheistandproud, I have a question please,
Looking at the antutu scores of the RN8 pro for May 2020,it ranks higher than the Rn9s and even the Galaxy S9. Does this mean its better (overall) than these devices? Thanks
