This one is a big “meh” from me… Yes it’s way to pricey , it has some nice features but the P60 from Mediatek is a big let down.
I was a fan of Mediatek SOCs but since I tried the Snapdragon 820 I have to be more realistic about it … Mediatek SOCs don’t match the Qualcomm ones even if they score well in Antutu and other benchmarks.
The Android version upgrades, source code releases and other things like these are also a catastrophe for Mediatek SOCs so you’re going to mostly be stuck on that version of Android with not that many community ROMs.
For $374 you can get the Xiaomi Mi 8 which is in my opinion miles ahead of this one and that’s $74 that’s well spent.
U r right. Mediatek and Snapdragon are like AMD vs. Intel. Maybe they are a bit cheaper but always big step back. Their flagship P60 is made in 12nm process while Snapdragon introduced 8nm SND730. Anyone with basic konowlege of processor knows what it means.
