Geekbench’s Performance
Though both devices come with slightly different chipsets, they both use the same octa-core Cortex-A53 processors. However, while the SD450 in the ZTE Blade V9 clocks, the SD430 in the G6 Play manages 1.4GHz. Both devices run on Android 8.0 Oreo although the Blade V9 uses 8.1 while the G6 Play comes with 8.0. The results are considerably exciting – while only having 30% faster clock speed, the Snapdragon 450 processor takes nearly double the single- and multi-core results.
