Look, I have at home:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. This phone rocks with 5.5' 1080 x 1920 pixels (~403 ppi pixel density), Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 chipset (which has Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and PowerVR G6200).
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. This one is 5.5' 1080x1920 pixels screen (403 ppi), has Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650 (which is Hexa-core (4x1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & 2x1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 CPU and Adreno 510)
Mercury will have Snapdragon 625 chipset, which has Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and Adreno 506.
According the benchmarks:
Power VR G6200 (2 Clusters) which comes with the Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 chipset operates at 600 mhz clock and produces 76.8 GFLOPS.
Adreno 510 which comes with Snapdragon 650 chipset operates at 600 MHz and produces ~180 GFLOPS
Adreno 506 which comes with the Snapdragon 625, operates at 650 MHz and produces ~130 GFLOPS
Now, both Xiaomis runs all the games I tried - without any hiccups. Need For Speed, etc - no issues. just works. even the note 2, which has PowerVR which produces almost HALF the performance of Adreno 506, plays the games without problems.
I do not see issues with Mercury gaming performance whatsoever.
