                  Who gives a dufk? It's not stock Android ... End of story . We know what kind of backdoor business goes on in Chinese phones . When pei gets too bored oppo color os will creep in . Shame shite different dye

Nowadays, making a flagship killer for a new company is impossible, having to compete with IQOO 12 , Redmi K70 series and so on. First of all, as a brand new company, they can't get same prices as Oppo or Xiaomi or really any major player. We can discuss this but from business standpoint it's impossible. Also, flagship killer phone nowadays is up to 800$ . Look at the flagship prices. 1400-1500$.. also historically flagship killers like one plus or xiaomi in early days always had a worse camera and displays compared to true flagships. Today, everyone cry about that. Even if you spec everything else the same,people wouldn't care.

                                PrdniPaUhvati, 19 Feb 2024Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2I think that chip was made specifically for the Redmi note 12 turbo/Poco F5 and Realme GT Neo5 SE. As we have not seen it in anywhere other then these. Not eve on on tablets. Like for example when Poco F3 come with SD870 and that was made in a lot of devices.

                                Feels like 7+ gen 2 is limited edition or something as special case. It's soon year old chip and we have not seen it used anywhere

                                  Weighing on fast and new chip is only way Chinese manufacturers stay in competition . No innovation from their end ☹️

                                    SD 7 series or Dimensity 8200 series will be good. Hope he will not disappoint will SD 6 series.

                                      I'm guessing this customisation was to make sure the phone still runs as smooth as Snapdragon even with a MediaTek.
