While both the Media Tek dimensity 9400 and 9400 plus are high end premium chips, it's strange that latter falls short to the former in 5 tests.

Why why mtk 🀑 Even on plus there is degradation of all editing things like ray tracing ,image detection ,HDR, photo processing , cpu score (though minor but expected a better cpu atleast) For photography dimensity 9400 is still Better And plus with more pricey

That's the phones fault, temperatures and OEM config. The 9400+ is a much higher binned version of the 9400 and is clearly better, wait for more consistent AnTuTu scores.
