Is it more cost-effective to buy a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 phone? These four flagships are worth more than the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 phone

Some time ago, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 chip and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 chip, which also caused a debate about who is more worthy. In the eyes of many netizens, these two chips are a bit redundant. After all, if you look in the market, there are a lot of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile phones that are still high-end within 3000 yuan, so why consider new ones?

Is the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 phone and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 phone worth buying? Personally, I think it mainly depends on the product design and price. If it's purely a performance party, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 phone may be worth considering, after all, the price is cheap, and the new Snapdragon 8s Gen3 remains to be seen. After all, the two new chips still can't beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen2.

1, Redmi K70, 16GB+512GB to hand price 2899 yuan

When it comes to the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 phone, the first thing that comes to mind should be the Redmi K70, which not only has the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip, but also has a 2K bracketless straight screen, a 5000mAh battery and 120W fast charging. Compared with Xiaomi, Redmi mainly weakens the photo part, and when it comes to this mobile phone, it is all dependent on the Light and Shadow Hunter 800 to carry everything. Other than that, the phone is otherwise good.

2, realme GT5: 16GB+512GB to hand price 2799 yuan

Realme GT5 is a product that has been on the market for a while, and it has been half a year now. From the perspective of product layout, there are only two 16GB+512GB versions that can be bought, the difference is mainly in battery life, and there is no other capacity to choose from. Relatively speaking, the 150W fast charging version is more cost-effective, and the 5240mAh capacity can better ensure battery life.

This phone is equipped with a 1.5K screen, which is considered the mainstream choice at this price point, but the refresh rate is as high as 144Hz, and pulling up the refresh rate is also the consistent style of the real me. The phone is equipped with an IMX890 main camera, but at this price point, it doesn't show anything special. Realme GT5 is a cost-effective product with a relatively balanced balance in all aspects.

3,魅族20 Classic,16GB+512GB到手价2999元

The Meizu 20 was not so cheap at first, but now that the Meizu 21 series has been launched, the Meizu 20 series has naturally reduced its price. This phone is the Meizu 20 Classic, and the main difference is that the LOGO on the back has changed. The biggest selling point of the mobile phone is the hardware configuration, price and Flyme system, especially the system, which has many fans.

As for the shortcomings of this phone, the 1080p screen and photography are all there, and this shortcoming has been made up for on the Meizu 21. In addition, the 4700mAh battery and 67W fast charging are not too attractive, so if you buy the Meizu 20 Classic, the advantages and disadvantages will be obvious compared to other models in the same price range.

4, iQOO Neo9, 16GB+512GB at 2799 yuan

At the end of 2023, the iQOO Neo9 series will be released, with an eye-catching design, and many friends have decided to buy this phone because of this appearance. As for the hardware, the iQOO Neo9 is also a cost-effective flagship, even more attractive than Redmi, but unfortunately not so popular.

In terms of hardware, this mobile phone is equipped with a 1.5K 144Hz straight screen, and the rear camera is the same IMX920 as vivo X100, but it is only the same hardware, and the optimization strategy will be quite different. The 5160mAh battery and 120W fast charging are at the mainstream level, which can guarantee the battery life. At this price point, it's really not easy to pinpoint its shortcomings.

In summary, the high-end versions of these mobile phones are all within 3000 yuan, which seems to be cheaper than the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 model in comparison. But you can't generalize, after all, the selling point and design direction of the product are different. With the next few new phones coming out, it is estimated that it will be easier for everyone to understand who is better value between Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and Snapdragon 8s Gen3. Of course, if you don't want to wait, these are good today.
