I am using the snapdragon 460 on my Nokia 3.4 and it performs well although it has its limit there is no major hardware lacking.

Snapdragon 460 is the only low-end processor which supports WiFi 6 (Wifi 6 is the successor of WiFi 5 which improve connectivity by up to 15%) the purpose of this version is to increase the phone's capability to connect wifi in a bad situation, for example, many of your friends connected to your wifi off course it shares a lot of radio wave frequency it doesn't worry because Wifi 6 capable phone still consistent also low-end processor to support arm v8.3A which is a bit new although the core setup (Cortex A-73, Cortex A-53) on Snapdragon 460 is old still A-73 can multitask better than 70% of low-end phones who still using 8x Cortex A-53.

Vina User, Snapdragon 460 is 20X faster then Snapdragon 450 and it is obviously 4g ...but 1st Snapdragon processor with 5g supported ..also the best 4g chipset in budget...with best fabrication and architecture

Not 5G Snapdragon 460 only supports WiFi 6 which is good for wifi situations like a couple of friends connect to single router wifi with wifi 6 u get a strong consistent connection without slowing down.
