Also Snapdragon 7 plus gen 3 is costly than dimensity 8350 for that and in price point of snapdragon 7 plus gen 3 the dimensity 8400 is available so that's also a point

We want some realism, and I agree with you in all cases. SnapDragon 7+ Gen 3 is better and smarter in terms of handling, modern architecture, and long-term support.
