Actually, Snapdragon 860 is a flagship processor only coming in 1 exceptional phone (poco X3 Pro) also that 860 is more off made for tablets and it's without 5g support and its architecture is above 6nm so 695 is a good option.

Kabir, Guess that still makes the sd 765g better than both at 4 years old... got it for $70 in TCL 10 5g UW for my 8-year-old to game with 😊
