I would rather choose the 2 year old processor from Qualcomm (778G 5G) than mediatek later processor since it has the better architecture, better gpu, better memorry(ddr5 3200mhz) and slightly better modem(cat24).

This kinda funny because many users poco x3gt choose uppgrade into poco x5pro which is.... Literally downgrade rather upgrade in terms of power of chipset am really sure many regret not just decide wait for poxo6 pro realease....
