    Snapdragon 695 hater, 29 Jul 2024Is this better than a snapdragon 695 or worse?You confuse bad software and device performance with performance of a SoC, SD695 works flowesly on nokia x30, never had one app in 2 years that crashed on me, lags with android 14 are from as rare as the 29. Day of Februar. So yeah, the SoC might put some limits, but in this day and age the midrager SoCs and their CPUs are powerfull enough to withstand everything you throw at them, minus huge games based on a lot of 3D graphics. Of course with a garbage OS and other Hardware parts even a flagship SoC will have issues.

      Maybe even cheaper SoC for IOT devices or automobile SoC or maybe for health care equipments.

It has UFS 2.2 storage with Snapdragon 4 gen 2. It is a very capable device and more than sufficient for daily usage. If you remove bloatware, it will be smooth as butter. Search Google for how to remove Xiaomi bloatware.

              Hemedans, 29 Jul 2024Gpu yes but cpu nothing meaningfull in cpu, around 3W they ... moreYea they made the gpu smaller and clocked it higher, a good way to reduce costs but at huge decrease in efficiency. With an ok cpu and trash gpu wonder how worse it is.

                rizki1, 30 Jul 2024We don't know which phone it is yet, 4 Gen 2 on Redmi ... moreDon't confuse 4 gen 2 and 4s gen 2. 4s gen 2 for weeks now Qualcomm is hyping it, it will be in phones under $100.

                Also G99 only has better gpu than 4 gen 2 but it lose in almost all other aspect compare to 4 gen 2, not just 5G modem, Cpu, support for faster storage and ram etc

                  Hemedans, 30 Jul 2024Can you name that mtk soc which offer similar perfomance as... moreWe don't know which phone it is yet, 4 Gen 2 on Redmi 12 5G for $130.

                  Again, it seems like only a few phones with this SoC are used and Mediatek is still everywhere because maybe the chips are cheaper.

                  I found it, itel RS4.. it costs $110 in Indonesia and has G99 which has similar performance on AnTuTu, but yes without 5G. 4s Gen 2 might be better in CPU but weaker in GPU.

                    rizki1, 30 Jul 2024Qualcomm can't fight Mediatek in the low end and mid end. Can you name that mtk soc which offer similar perfomance as this soc under $100?

                          Anonymous, 29 Jul 2024Snapdragon 4 gen 2 has powerful CPU. It has 2 cores Cortex-... moreYes, this is absolutely true. A lot of people doesn't know this. Most people are not hardcore gamer, they are day to day normal user. That's why for most people Snapdragon 4 gen 2 is faster than Snapdragon 695.

                              Isn't better to call it Snapdragon 2 Gen 1?

                                      Modeey, 29 Jul 2024So why not just use 4gen1 Looks deceiving Is 4 gen 1 cheap enough to be used under $100?

                                        1989 nothinghappened, 29 Jul 2024Thats where i got the 4g1 and 4g2 comparison from, but ok. ... moreGpu yes but cpu nothing meaningfull in cpu, around 3W they are almost same and 4 gen 2 scale more in perfomance.
