Should I upgrade from my new Dimensity 1080 phone to either the SD7s Gen 2 or the 778g, or is my current phone still satisfactory?

The 1080 is still quite suitable for day-to-day tasks and low-intensity gaming. However, out of the three, the 7s Gen 2 is the best. This is primarily because it's the most efficient, boasts the most power, and has the most innovative design. It also fares quite well compared to the 778g and the 1080 for gaming emulation.

RebinTunign, The performance of the 7sgen2 and the 778G is remarkably similar. The major disadvantage is that the 7sgen2 is a Samsung made processor, as opposed to being manufactured by TSMC. Thus, the 7sgen2 could be viewed as a downgrade when compared to the 778G.

It's truly astonishing how the SD 778G has maintained its relevance after all this time. Even now, nearly four years after its initial launch in 2021, it remains powerful enough to keep up with the competition.

SD778G heats up a lot. Dimensity 1080 on Redmi Note 12 Pro is hot but does not throttle. because it can withstand the heat due to its graphite sheet stack on its back. That is why you'll feel it hot all over the back of the phone but it's good heat dissipation. You can feel the hotness on its back but does not reduce its performance.

No, it doesn't. I have a Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G and it doesn't heat up as much as you suggested.

I have a Samsung A73 with Snapdragon 778G. I ran a throttling test; it doesn't throttle but it does heat. To be honest: TikTok - 37Β°C, Brawl Stars - 39Β°C, PUBG - 42Β°C, CarX Street - 44Β°C, Roblox - 43Β°C.

The Dimensity 1080 can only switch between low and high graphics settings in CODM, which is quite disappointing because you can't enable all the graphics options. In contrast, the 778G allows you to access very high graphics settings and enables features like anti-aliasing and depth of field.

Irfan, Its just optimization, mostly because Developers dont optimize Mediatek/exynos CPU's that much on games, thats why A SD 665 can support very high graphics compared to a Helio G88 that Only supports medium Graphics lol.. My A34 doent have a heating issue, and it rarely throttle even in gaming, it can Consistently play games without lagging for hours compared to its big brother A54 that runs Exynos 1380 that has a heating issue plus I never experienced lag On COD in this chipset lol, even on my old A32 that uses helio G80

If you want to do gameplay, Snapdragon is better for you. Bionic A, MediaTek Dimensity better than Qualcomm Snapdragon.

KHH, This is very suitable for day-to-day activities and handles them without any issues. It can also manage low intensity gaming. However, it's not a powerhouse by any means, so don't assume it's the best chip ever. Just a heads up.

Xen, You can merge the two benefits by purchasing the Samsung A73. It comes with the SD778G and updates. However, some might not appreciate that it was launched in 2022.
