what the fvck!?? what the fvck is Nano review doing??? Are you guys on CPU and GPU performance or 5G connectivity??
Yo, just how the Sd 4 Gen 2 surpassed Sd845?? 845 is still powerful than Sd 4 gen 2. This people are driving me crazy lol.

If you use this SoC for more than a minute (R125G in my case) you would not even call it low end. It overheats even when idling.

Nanoreview calls this chip "low end". But this chip is equal to SD 695, better than Helio G99. Nanoreview should make a correction. 4 Gen 2 is midrange, not lowend. Also it has 128, not 96, Shader Unit.

Because it is, the GPU that they gave to this chip is absolutely trash, comparable to the crappy Adreno 610 of the Snapdragon 680 and much weaker than the Mali G57 MC2 of the Helio G99, that's why this chip is way worse than a Snapdragon 695 or Helio G99 despite having similar CPU

695 is from 2021, G99 is from 2022
Both extremely outdated, basic chipsets evolve, what was an entry-level mid-range in 2022 is now nothing more than a Low, embrace evolution and don't get stuck in the past

C'mon Nanoreview team, how do you place this chipset with the trash Adreno 613 (not even reaching 50k score in GPU Antutu lol) higher than the Dimensity 900 or the Exynos 1280 that have comparable CPU but much faster GPU (up to 4x times)

In my opinion, this chipset is not really for the midrange, it's more of an upper-entry-level product. I believe Snapdragon doesn't put much emphasis on this chipset; it seems they focus more on the Snapdragon 600 series, 700 series, and 800 series.

I felt as though SD was on the verge of creating a solid gaming device. However, they seemed to change their mind and went with a weaker GPU instead.

I saw their most entry-level Snapdragon 2xx series was discontinued quite a long time ago. Feature phones are now able to access 4G (if I'm not mistaken, around the 2015-2018 range) and it also lowers costs to make 4G smartphones. The last time I saw a Snapdragon 2xx series was in 2019, with the last feature phone using the Snapdragon 2xx series.
Snapdragon 4xx, 6xx, 7xx, and 8xx are the most focused on and they usually release one new processor in each category each year.
Snapdragon 4xx is now an entry-level and it mostly targets low income.
Snapdragon 6xx is targeted between upper-entry level to lower mid-range, which is considered a balance between efficiency and performance.
Snapdragon 7xx is targeted around upper mid-range to entry-level flagship, which can enjoy a "PC-like" experience at lower costs.
Snapdragon 8xx series mostly targets heavy usage like gaming and multitasking.

Opt for the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 for regular use, but if you plan to game, switch the network setting to 4G. It struggles to handle both gaming and 5G simultaneously. The phone tends to overheat significantly during gaming sessions, and the battery drains rapidly. The touted 4nm technology doesn't seem to make a difference; 7nm chipsets perform better. I suspect Samsung might have compromised its quality, reminiscent of the issues with Exynos. For smoother gaming, stick to the 4G network.

They used the same Samsung 4LPX process as Snapdragon 8 gen 1 so it also suffers from the same overheating error.

I own a Redmi 12 5G. Both BGMI and COD are unplayable due to overheating, and the battery drains incredibly quickly. However, I've found a solution. When playing games, switch to the 4G network. The games run smoothly on 4G without any lag. The phone heats up less, and the battery lasts significantly longer compared to when using 5G.
For gaming, I recommend using the 4G network on this phone, and for everything else, you can switch to 5G. It performs well as a 4G chipset, but its performance on 5G is a disaster. I wonder if Samsung's overheating and lagging issues, akin to those seen with Exynos chipsets, are to blame. Despite being a 4nm chipset, it overheats and lags as if it were a 28nm chipset.

I find it amusing that its performance is just comparable to the Snapdragon 765G or Dimensity 920/D7050. I hope Vivo and Oppo don't market these chips at a staggering $400, like their overpriced Reno series with Snapdragon 695G.
I'm also disappointed that these budget MediaTek and Qualcomm processors are eliminating their 4K 30fps video recording. It feels like a step back to when we could get 4K recording on Snapdragon 665 and 720G. It's concerning that phones equipped with a 108MP camera may be hampered by the limitations of SD4 Gen 2, much like SD695G. It's no wonder some phones with SD695G are so expensive - you're paying more for a 100MP camera that can't fully utilize its potential due to a processor that doesn't support 4K resolution.

Huge mistake
The GeekBench score is of GeekBench v6.1, not version 5, as in many comparisons of the 4Gen 1.
