I would choose 870, it is not worse than 8200 and in some aspects, it is better, that's why, I have a Poco F3 and you can install the Gkam mod on it, after which the smartphone can shoot video in 4k 60 Fps with Eis based and ultrawide.

MediaTek certainly outperforms it, but the Snapdragon 870 is still quite good and was a beast in its time – an older flagship chipset instead of a beefed-up midrange option like the 778G+. The 7 Gen 2+ is set to be another powerhouse, as it's based on a slightly scaled-down 8 Gen 1+ with less power. It's vastly superior to the regular 8 Gen 1 and likely surpasses this Dimensity model as well.
