IMO the high end Mediatek SOCs are getting pretty good. They are very close to high end Snapdragon, Snapdragon however tend to have the edge on slightly lower power consumption.

But if you can get almost equivalent performance for less, I don’t really see the Mediatek chips as a significant downside anymore.

it’s great we have Mediatek for competition, otherwise Qualcomm would be a near monopoly outside the Samsung Sphere.
