My Xiaomi Note 10 Pro, with a Snapdragon 720G, worked very well and didn't lag at all. However, since switching to the Xiaomi Note 10 5G which uses MediaTek, I've been disappointed with its performance. Now, I'm considering buying an iPhone 7 because it performs better.

In my opinion, the Dimensity 700 is slightly better since it's manufactured using the 7nm process by TSMC. In day-to-day usage, you won't notice any difference in performance or stability.

I currently have a dimension 700 and it is excellent nothing to envy a 680 or 720g in fact on a day-to-day basis and in several games it surpasses them, it has a much more stable performance without heating up.
