NanoReview's SoC classification is a big joke. Saying 4Gen1 is a low-end while 4G2 is a mid-range, while 4G1 is a rebranded 695, while 4G2 is equipped with a clearly low-end GPU, just laughs at this classification.

A newer generation and at least 10% difference? Not good

Are the 4th Gen 1 models supposed to be low-end, and the 4th Gen 2 models mid-range, even with a much lower GPU speed and only a slight CPU upgrade? What a joke!

Yes, if Gen 2 of version 4 was equipped with at least a GPU of 619, it would have been far superior to Gen 1 of version 4.

Gpu is very bad. It gives only a 60,000 score in antutu on the other hand 4gen 1 gpu gives more than 100,000 in antutu.

Zzz, The 2nd generation Snapdragon 4 is not really a mid-range device, but the 1st generation Snapdragon 4 is regarded as low-end. The gaming performance is best in the 2nd generation Snapdragon 4 because it uses a 4nm chip.

Happy, Not really. The Adreno 613 is a clear downgrade compared to the Adreno 619, and that will be noticeable in real life usage as well. Plus, it is manufactured using Samsung's 4nm node, which is far less efficient than TSMC's manufacturing process. 4Gen2 is not an upgrade from 4Gen1 at all.

Happy, Though you have to consider whether 6nm TSMC fabrication or 4nm Samsung, it's up to you. Because you have to know who is best in making the best in fabrication node of processor and not to consider about the nm transistor size. ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ˜œ Happy.

Happy, Wrong! It's efficiency eg battery longevity is better but not gaming with that weak gpu.

Happy, Nope. Adreno 613 in 4 Gen 2 is far weaker than 619.

Early benchmarks suggest the GPU is weaker. Looks like a downgrade to me.

Downgraded gpu? Then still lacking 4k recording? Or even 2k support?
