snapdragon 4 gen 1 is clearly better but why is it classified as low-end while snapdragon 680 is mid-range?? it doesn't make sense.

The date of release does matter. When SD680 was released, it is classified as midrange. That's it.

MrB, You should check sd685 vs sd 4 gen 1. sd685 release date is March 2023, it is also classified as mid-range but sd 4 gen 1 is clearly better than sd685 as well.

Wrong, They believe that overclocked old chipsets, when re-released, fall into the same category as the original chipsets at the time of their launch. Therefore, even though the Snapdragon 870 is high-end, they consider it a flagship chipset as it is an overclocked version of the 865.

Redmi Note 11 vs Note 12. Note 12 no card slot in CN, maybe global.
