    SnapDragon 625 is well-capable of QC3.0, but my Redmi 5 Plus doesn't even have QC2.0 official support.
    SnapDragon 450 can record 1080p@60fps, but my friend's A6+ 2018 can only do up to 1080p@30fps, not even a slow motion, in which the DSP of the 450 is well-capable of doing it in 720p@120fps.

The problem is the cost of the phones which have these SoCs. They should NOT cost more than $150 in 2018, but there are phones costing $300 - $400 with those SoCs. This is the problem. Given a choice, I would actually ban ALL the 28nm SoCs.
                1. Mediatek 6737/6739
                2. Mediatek 6750
                3. Mediatek 6755 (P10)
                4. SD 430/435

                  Cortex a 53 in 2019 when we see phones with those socs? Goodbye.
