I put the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Fold 8 through a thermal torture test — here's the winner
In a 20-minute 3DMark stress test, here's how the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8 performed to find out which one runs hotter under pressure.
A thermal torture test was conducted to compare the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8 in terms of performance and heat generation during heavy loads like gaming. The test involved running the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test for 20 minutes on both phones. The iPhone Duo ended up hotter than the Z Fold 8, but it managed to deliver better performance.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8, on the other hand, retained less graphics performance during sustained testing, despite its lower exterior temperatures. The iPhone Duo achieved a higher stability score of 67.9%, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 scored 51.4%. The iPhone Duo's thermal management system effectively dispersed heat across the phone's body and display, keeping the processor cooler and enabling sustained high performance.
In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 experienced performance drops due to thermal constraints. Therefore, the iPhone Duo emerges as the winner in this thermal performance comparison.
