Newer cpu but just a slightly overclocked GPU. Deceent upgrade on cpu but not so much on the gpu. Then of course these are not meant for gaming that much and more into allrounder type phones.

Yes it is not a major upgrade, in the gpu side adreno 820 would have made more sense

7 gen 3 use adreno 720, While 7s gen 3 use adreno 810. Why does the 7 gen 4 still use Adreno 700 series (722), Why not use Adreno 800 series?

810 is an old gpu 722 is newer it has more frequency than 810 More frequency more speed 8 series doesn't mean better than 7 Depends when launched Whether it's old or new

Anonymous, Brother 810 is not old, but 722 is better for games and raw power

I think this new SOC can only withstand against dimensity 8200 to rival out it in raw performance cause it shows immense potential To beat dimensity 8200 which is a premium type mid range chip So yeah it will intresting to see that how 7+ gen4 stack aginst the beast dimensity 8400 in terms of performance.

a7med, No, the 7+ gen 4 is supposed to be the Snapdragon SoC to rival the MTK8400 and not the SD7gen4
