Snapdragon 780g is not good for gaming because stability has 79% but snapdragon 778g stability has 98%

But the 778g is less efficient than the 780g. What do you mean that it has better stability?

780G is better for gaming and it has better battery life, I chose MI 11 Lite 5G over A52s and NE because it's better for gaming, anyway no one will see the difference in ram in practice.

Genau. Du sagst es. Hab auch das Normale. Ich verstehe es sowieso nicht. Von einer Reihe ewig viele Modelle rauszubringen. Die dann doch fast alles gleich sind. Kein Wunder dass die Chips immer weniger werden....๐Ÿ˜œ

Domi, Dappschรคdel. Ursache/Wirkung vertauscht. Die hatten Probleme ausreichend 780G zu bekommen, also haben sie schnell eine Version mit 778G auf den Markt geworfen, weil sich das Modell an sich aus einer Reihe an Grรผnden echt gut verkauft hat. AMOLED, 90Hz, gute Akkulaufzeit, wahnsinnig leichtes/dรผnnes Design. Schรถnes Mittelklasse allround-Paket.

So, which one is better. Xiaomi MI 11 lite 5G (780G) or the newer Xiaomi 11 lite 5G NE (778G)? I'm confused.

henk, I bought the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G on Amazon and I received the NE version. Honestly, it's a good smartphone and I don't think it could change so much between the two versions. They are pretty similar!

Depends, the NE has one more GPS antenna, so gives you a better location. the normal has mimo wifi, giving you the possibility to share wifi with another person (for example, you connect a 5ghz wifi, and then share in 2.4ghz this wifi using your phone as a modem)

Santiago, I think it's because of MIMO WiFi; there's no need to enable hotspot and WiFi at the same time. Even my old Redmi Note 7 with Snapdragon 660 could do that via a custom ROM.

Fra, Me There is no Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and there is HyperOS 2024.03.01 android 14 version approx. 2 months ago. So it's better. THE In the case of Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G, there is none.

The 780 manufactured at Samsung 5nm node and the 778 at TSMC 6nm node.

That might give the impression that the 780 at the smaller 5nm node should be the superior product but that wasn't necessarily the case. Since Samsung chip foundry hasn't managed to match the efficiency of the TSMC products. Also, Qualcomm discontinued the 780g production at Samsung. And judging by this comment: "A Xiaomi executive has claimed the Snapdragon 780G chips are hard to come by." it is safe to assume that there were some irreconcilable production problems with the SD 780g at Samsung.

780 still up there September 4, 2021 at 10:13 PM
I feel the 780 still out performs the 778. The 778 is just the 870 to the 888.

The 778g and the 780g chips are basically the same chips manufactured at different CPU foundries. The 778g is manufactured at TSMC on a 6nm node whereas the 780g was produced at Samsung on a 5nm node. One would expect a chip produced on a smaller node will have superior performance over a chip produced on a bigger nm node. But since in this case the manufacturer also is completely different that isn't as straightforward as it suggests. Between TSMC and Samsung chip foundries TSMC seems to be a few steps ahead. That lead causes TSMC chip production to have better yields and performance/efficiency. Apparently, the 780g produced by Samsung had slightly higher power usage, and the yields allegedly (no official data is disclosed on yields by Samsung) weren't as good as TSMC's. I guess Samsung 780g production was of significantly worse quality compared to TSMC's 778g that Qualcomm stopped the production of 780g chips completely. But that is just a guess, maybe housing the production of some of their chips at Samsung was just a stopgap measure because TSMC's capacity was limited and fully booked. But if it turned out the 780g produced by Samsung had better efficiency/performance then I think they would have chosen Samsung for the production of their Snapdragon chips. But Samsung is known not to be able to match TSMC's chips (nobody is). They lag behind especially concerning their efficiency. And it is rumored that their yields are so bad that you pay for working chips only instead of full wafers.
