The Snapdragon 8th Gen-1 might sound superior when compared to the Snapdragon 7th Gen-2, but the reality is quite different. The Snapdragon 7th Gen-2 is the best processor after the Snapdragon 8th Gen 2. There's no real competitor to the Poco F5 within the 30K range. While there have been motherboard issues with the X series, the F series seems to be all good. Its performance is excellent, it has a good rear camera and an average selfie camera - perfect for multitasking, which is exactly what a hardcore gamer needs.

My Poco F5 is currently at the service center due to a motherboard technical issue. Eight days have passed, but my phone is not yet repaired. Poco is not a good mobile company, in my opinion.

Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in other simplest explanation is just the Lite version of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. They both have the same architecture, the SD 8+ Gen 1 is just overclocked.

Qualcomm Snapdragon is taking the competition very seriously with its new mid-range chipset of 2023, the 7+ Gen 2, and it's quite impressive. While it may not be the most power-efficient compared to the undisputed king of power efficiency, MediaTek Dimensity 8100, it's one of the most consistent mid-range chipsets for intense graphical games. The 7+ Gen 2 can run Genshin Impact consistently at 56 FPS for the first 11 minutes, but it slightly drops to 52 FPS. This is better compared to the previous 7 Gen 1, which runs at 54 FPS for the first 12 minutes but drops to 25 FPS. Quite impressive, Snapdragon! In benchmarks, the 7+ Gen 2 may not be as close to the 8+ Gen 1 in CPU and GPU performance, but it is much better and more efficient than the Dimensity 8200.

8+ Gen 1 is just an overclocked version of 7+ Gen 2, so the stability of it is kinda trash compared to 7+ Gen 2, both of their architecture are the same. Therefore, my conclusion is, it's close when you overclocked 7+ Gen 2 which will have the same output as 8+ Gen 1. πŸ€ͺ
