But even after being used to 120Hz and a fast phone (for most people), and being able to tell the difference b/w 60 & 120hz in most cases (some 1st party apps that run on 60Hz still felt so smooth due to the animations/acceleration, etc that I had to turn on the overlay just to confirm, I hadnt changed any of the dev. options), I still don't find going back to my previous phone (SD820) "laggy" or experience breaking as most stuff worked quite well due to the stock os/ui (Google Now). Sure it lagged a bit when updating apps and got choppy if I opened up way too many tabs in Chrome (820 was hot and 4GB was a stretch by 2021), but for the most part I never felt that it was "too slow" despite having only 4 cores (its GPU was still faster than most mid-rangers up until 765G I believe), in fact I still love sometimes booting up my Lumia 730. I only upgraded bcoz I couldn't find a genuine battery and fps replacement.
But I cant say the same about low-mid range phones from a few years ago, especially the chinese and sammy phones filled with bloat, tons of notifications and already dated chipsets. Whenever someone elder gives me their phone to help with something, I sometimes pull my hair out as it takes ages to anything due to so much stuff filled to the brim.

Chipsets exist because some people can't afford higher models or they simply don't know better. I remember how I couldn't play games if they had poor framerate and whenever I asked other people who weren't into computers and gaming, they couldn't see or feel there is something wrong with how games "perform". It's same here. But once you try a top end, it's hard to go back. And for a good reason as experience is just so smooth and seamless and you don't have to wait for anything ever.

Nowadays smartphones have :
Wider variety of screen resolutions 720,1080,2k,4K
Variety of RAM options / speed DDR 4,4x,5
Different storage options: emmc, UFS 2,2.1,3 etc
Phones with secondary chipsets : display chips etc
Phones now have thermal components: fans , coper pipes
(never existed ins smartphones previously)

Few years ago, phones with same specs did not have even 1000 points difference, now you see some with 120.000 more.
Even between phones of same brand.

Reference vs reference they perform exactly as expected the X2 performance is to the marginal line 1239 QRD vs MTK president 1273. QC opted for more compromises on small core's (less and shared L2) and smaller victim coach on SoC lv compared to the MTK (3785 vs 4324) on the other side we finally got a worthy upgrade on GPU side regarding QC. I don't like neither I would prefer more efficiency oriented sustainable 2 and 4 CPU core's (no X2's) with such GPU and much faster (and lower latency) RAM instead of more of it or cupping and increasing victim cache.

Mali is inefficient, big, low shading units GPU, even if you put more cores the performances will be almost identical. This time it will have the node advantage over the snapdragon, they might be close.

dimensity have advantage from tsmc maf process but they still bad in term of arc design, if snapdragon 8 gen 1 use the same tsmc maf process i bet they will have higher score just like dimensity 1200 vs 870, the former use 6nm tsmc + cortex a78 yet still below 870(7nm cortex a77) in terms of cpu
in terms of gpu, other than score, compability, optimization and feature adreno gpu still the champ in android realm so beyond the score gpu wise snapdragon will still be king, emulator wise adreno still have the very needed features than mali gpu used by dimensity
