I believe most people prefer the Dimensity 8200 because of the overheating and subsequent frame rate drops in the SD 8 GEN 1. Initially, the SD 8 GEN 1 offers better gaming performance, but after a few minutes, the phone heats up, leading to reduced performance and dropped frame rates. In contrast, the D 8200 maintains stable frame rates and doesn't overheat as much when compared to the SD 8 GEN 1.
