It is a norm for a midrange to catch-up to the flagships after 2 years of development. What I previously meant was that if the user expects a very noticeable performance increase (non-placebo), then he/she should opt for a flagship SoC for the new phone from a midrange (SD660) that he/she already has.

Anonymous, 25 Sep 2019The question is : "is it Mediatek's fault?"
When you see h... moreYour point of comparison is only limited to a niche market. Nokia 1 is an Android Go device which Android and Mediatek has collaborated with for development just recently. There were only a handful of Mediatek SoC under Android Go platform. Also check the release date:
MT6737 platform was released around 2016.
Nokia 1 was released around 2018.
Given their collaboration for the Android Go and the release date for the phone, it is clear that Nokia 1 should receive up to Android 10 major update as the phone was released only last year. This is one way for MTK SoC to have better OS support but not all of their SoC were released under a special collaboration with Android using an SoC that was pretty-much considered outdated. If you want better MTK and Android OS support? Choose Android Go that uses a 2 year old SoC but since we're in a midrange phone with MTK's latest SoC designed for gaming, I bet if you consider buying the Redmi Note 8 pro that you won't even consider buying the Android Go device just so you can have consistent Android Go update.
To answer your question directly:
"Was it Mediatek's fault?"
I would say, YES, unless they changed their policy for the better that I never knew. Mediatek's issue with their own policies regarding open-source software were already talked a lot for years. If you are oblivious of such malpractices then you should read about those first before making an argument with a "cherry-picked" product just to prove a point.

I hope I'm wrong but this probably isn't going to be a good device if you like custom ROMs. MediaTek devices tend to have tumbleweed forums on XDA.
Still, it's the Note series and that's pretty popular so I could be wrong.
Even with that larger battery I think the slightly more expensive K20 is going to be a better buy. It may have no MicroSD and a smaller, albeit AMOLED screen but it'll probably end up having better SOTs and it already has custom ROMs.

Cortex A76 are only clocked at 2.05ghz on G90T
They're clocked at 2.27ghz on Kirin 810
It's normal to see Kirin 810 win
And clocked at 2.2ghz on SD730 as Kryo 4x0 Gold are Cortex A76
Sd845 uses Cortex A75 (Kryo 3x0 Gold) but at higher frequencies
Mediatek made a very good job in term of speed

When you see how Nokia is able to update their devices, this is a real question!
Even their cheaper phone, Nokia 1, released with Android 8.1, will receive Android 10...
Nokia 1's soc is mt6737.
Mt6737 was released with...Android 6.0!

A large screen, strong processor (especially graphics,), card slot and headphone jack? This is everything I want in one package. This thing should really be the black shark lite by the way it performs.
