Not a significance difference in performance - even though theoretically the SD778 is better, in reality it is not that obvious - i have the M52 and Oppo Reno6 to compare

Even though the SD 778G is better, but due to that small deference of specs, yet the prices of this two have a big difference, with dimensity 900 phones being cheaper. Not over priced like the SD 778G phones, making a difference of prices range btw $50 to $100.due to price ands specs comparison, I go for dimensity 900

There's a huge difference. That's why Mediatek released the Dimensity 920 right away, since the 900 can't compete with the SD778G.

MTK920 can't stand in competition with SD778G. You can't realize the difference right at this moment, but after 2-3 years difference will be quite significant. OnePlus has saved costs by implementing MTK DIM 920 for which assembled AMOLED display. Now it's upon you What's your preference. For me, performance matters. IQOO Z5 too has a decent display both indoor as well as outdoor. I personally recommend IQOO Z5 5G.

Bruh the Samsung a52s costs €300 as of rn which features a 778g, that's not very much tbh.
