G99 better but not best like 6020 cause it’s 5g chip set and stable for long time..and soon g99 will be history.

Wait, what about that huge difference in download and upload speed? Is it a writing mistake?

I will prefer D6020 because it is on a mid-range phone. G99 on any phone will be highly expensive despite it's 4G range.

The dimensity 6020 is like G99 but it has 7 nanometers and overall I think G99 is more stable.

Yes, the only difference is wireless but nobody cares about 5G in the budget midrange, g99 higher gpu clock and BT 5.2.
