What!? A76 to A78 with only such differences??

It's a shame they used a78 cores at all. Two X1 cores will do any job well enough, considering the spare transistor budget could be used for more cache for those cores. But no. This SoC is on the midrange MTK SoC level. Definitely not a flagship.

what a disappointment, using tech from 2018. going the apple route of not focusing on specs, selling a bogus experience

челты, Ага.. "хватает" это когда 20 ваттная зарядка и паршивая энергоэффективность, которая не улучшилась в сравнении с прошлым поколением. То, что производительности достаточно, не значит что не нужно заботиться о других улучшениях. Использование старой архитектуры ядер явно не пошло на пользу "флагманскому" процессору.
