I don't see why people think Snapdragon processors are the best. MediaTek leads the bench in almost everything an SoC is supposed to do. I think maybe, πŸ€”, Snapdragon collaborates with gaming and app engineers to test out their processors. This, in turn, helps Snapdragon optimize their processors for a wide range of SoC capabilities. This is why MediaTek just kind of falls somehow. Anyways, MediaTek makes very good processors like the 8300, 7200, and the Helio G99 5G like chipset Dimensity 7020. I mean, these processors are better and cheaper than Snapdragon's midrange processor.

I'm impressed that the cheaper, newer, more efficient chipset from Mediatek can compete head-to-head with the Snapdragon 870, which was once a flagship chip, despite its price reduction over the generations. However, I would still prefer the Snapdragon 870. If the phone can cool it down properly, because the emulation side of gaming will really benefit from a good, properly functioning driver.
