A new phenomenon of high-end mobile phones, with a price of 4000 yuan, this time the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is inferior to the Dimensity 9300

Recently, a new feature has emerged in the high-end mobile phone market, that is, the choices of users have become diverse. First of all, of course, it needs to be a flagship SOC, but the same flagship SOC has a different performance.

For example, Xiaomi 14, equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen3, is currently comparable to Apple and Huawei, and the hot-selling mobile phones of more than 4,000 yuan. This seems to indicate that the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is extremely attractive and can crush the Dimensity 9300.

But another set of data shows that the Dimensity 9300 can also crush the Snapdragon 8 Gen3. For example, we see that vivo X100, which has been released at about the same time, currently has 50,000+ comments, which can be said to be a great success, while iQOO 12, which also starts at 3999 yuan, only has 20,000+ comments, which is not a small gap.

Why is the Dimensity 9300's vivo X100 selling well?

Why is iQOO 12 much worse than vivo X100 sales popularity, the evaluation Jun thinks that on the one hand, X100 has a high appearance and average configuration, and the design of this generation is still very classic. In addition, it is also the lack of features of iQOO 12, and there is a situation where you want everything, such as periscope telephoto, whether it is necessary for a mobile phone that focuses on e-sports, or it is confusing.

And if it's really about e-sports, the RedMagic 9 Pro seems to feel a lot better, and the price is not too expensive. For example, Xiaomi 14, it also gave up large-screen users and embraced small-screen users, so that it became the current king. It can be seen that there must be trade-offs in order to gain a foothold in the current highly competitive market. In addition, Fa Ge also raised his eyebrows on vivo X100, and its follow-up performance is worth looking forward to.

So, if it were you, how would you choose between these two?
