it's not about the performance, it's about energy efficiency, G90T/G95/G96 eats power like crazy compared to 700 series Snapdragons and Dimensity lineup. Also this chipsets get hot even under moderate load.

Exactly 👈 New phones nowadays means a few bumped up specs in 1/2 section and extra year of updates. Custom rom could be a thing but that's not for everyone. Not to mention buying phone just for updates contribute greatly in e-waste.

Just because it's "fine" doesn't mean it should be okay to literally use the same SoC since Redmi note 10S (it actually used the g95 which is slightly better than this bruh)
