Huawei has already introduced three members of the P9 family, the ‘vanilla’ P9, the P9 Plus, and the P9 Lite. However, there may actually be a fourth one coming soon, a P9 Max to act as the successor to the P8max from last year.

We already know that Qualcomm managed to fix the bad overheating issues that plagued the predecessor, Snapdragon 810, but to what end? That’s what our Swedish colleagues over at NordicHardware.se have tried to find out.

They put the LG G5 under CPU and GPU stress tests and compared it against the Galaxy S7 (Exynos 8990) and the Nexus 6P (Snapdragon 810). To do so, 3DMark Slingshot and Geekbench 3 do the heavy lifting, while an app monitors the temperatures reported…
