The shaders and shading units are better on sd778g despite lower gpu clocks though it's built on 6nm tsmc while sd7sg2 having 940 mhz gpu clock in 4nm samsung node maybe can squeeze a lot of performance but the sustainability is another story though I know Samsung is improving to match tsmc density and efficiency i know its efficient (4nm vs 6nm maybe more efficient in some task and daily) but not as good as tsmc known for thier solid chips. Not to hate on sd7sg2 that is good and newer compared to sd778g but we know sd778g are known in midrange segments in past years and proved to be a good and efficient chip for its category.

I have the Poco x6 5g, its performance is consistent enough to not notice any huge huge frame drops in games with high resolution but varying graphical settings. Everyday tasks are great so far. No issues, it is a good performing phone for it's price. Though could've gotten something like the Poco x6 pro with mediatek 8300 ultra, I decided to get this phone because of the Snapdragon SOC that's more compatibility on 3rd party camera apps and it's already good photo and video processing. Though it does heat up but the processor is cools that's because it's designed to push heat outwards so hot to the touch but cool on the inside. Overall good phone, no issues with it, very balanced compared to it's competitors on the same price point or even slightly higher.

No. New generation 4nm from Samsung in E2400 is better than TSCM 6nm E2100 5nm is nearly as good as 7nm+ from TSCM and better than 855 standard 7nm

Is it possible to stop using "process in nanometers" as a criterion to measure efficiency and battery life? For instance, the Samsung 5nm often has inferior battery life compared to the TSMC 6nm or equivalent. Consequently, these figures don't carry much significance with lower nm values, since they are merely industry terms and do not physically represent the actual scale within the silicon.

Yep, we are still roughly at 20 - 40 nanometers instead of 3 - 4 nm

Do not underestimate Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in any means. It just needs more optimisation and should be given some time. Take it with a pinch of salt at the initial stage.

Yeah it should be given the time of sitting on the bench, hoping the new 7s gen 3 is at least an ARM v9 chip. What a joke.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro user here, been using it for two days. I can say it outperforms 778G in consistency. The downside of 7s is that it is still not optimized. 7s Gen 2 will be the 732G of 2020.

Is there a reason why it hasn't been optimized yet? Can you explain what it means for the 7s Gen 2 to be the 732G of 2020? Additionally, how is the battery life on the Note 13 Pro? I'm seriously considering purchasing it but I'm still undecided. What is the price?

Have you ever used the 778G in your whole life? There is no processor as consistent as the 778G. Even the 7th Gen 2 can be outperformed by the Dimensity 7200 in terms of consistency.

Sushil, The 870 is too laggy these days. I can't even achieve 60fps on medium settings for older games like Genshin. Though, it should certainly work for Facebook and Instagram for around the next ten years.

Dear Nanoreview team, you are most likely mistaken about the 7s Gen 2. It also supports 16GB of RAM. Otherwise, Redmi Note 13 Pro wouldn't have a version with 16 GB RAM/512 GB ROM.
