Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7300 vs MediaTek Dimensity 1200
Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450) is an entry-level eight-core SoC that is the successor to the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. It integrates a total of 8 cores divided into two clusters.
The SoC continues to rely on the same core constellation as its predecessor, but with higher clock rates. In addition to two fast Cortex-A78 cores that clock at up to 2.2 GHz, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 has six energy-saving Cortex-A55 cores that operate at a maximum of 2 GHz.
The performance is on par with the similar but older Snapdragon 695 5G, the Mediatek MT8188J and the Mediatek Dimensity 7020. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 of the next faster tier, is about 29% faster in our benchmarks (Vivo V40 Se vs Honor Pad 9).
The Adreno 613 graphics card is different to the predecessor and as the name implies - and our benchmarks show, it is slower then the Adreno 619 in the SD4 Gen 1. It supports important graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and Vulkan 1.1. It is also capable of hardware-accelerated decoding of H.265 and VP9 data.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 can rely on the Qualcomm X61 5G modem, which supports maximum download rates of up to 2.5 GBit/s (upload: max. 900 MBit/s). Only Wi-Fi 5 is supported for WLANs and Bluetooth 5.1 is also no longer up to date. The dual ISP works with up to 12 bit and operates with a maximum resolution of 108 MPix. Quick Charge 4 is integrated as fast charging technology.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is manufactured with a structure width of 4 nm at Samsung (compared to the 6nm TSMC Process of the SD 4 Gen 1).
MediaTek Dimensity 7300
► remove from comparison
The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 is an ARM-based mid-range SoC for (mostly Android based) smartphones. The integrated CPU is divided into two clusters with four larger ARM Cortex-A78 cores with up to 2.5 GHz clock speed and an efficiency cluster with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 2 GHz.
In addition to the integrated ARM Mali-G615 MC2 iGPU, the 7300 also offers a MediaTek APU 655 for AI tasks. Furthermore, a 5G multi-mode modem is installed (2G - 5G) with up to 3.27 Gbps download speed. In addition to Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 is also supported.
The chip is manufactured using the modern 4nm process and is advertised to consume 25% less power compared to the older Dimensity 7050.
MediaTek Dimensity 1200
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 1200 (MT6893) is a high-end SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes three CPU clusters. One fast ARM Cortex-A78 at up to 3 GHz with 2x L2 cache, 3 additional A78 with up to 2.6 GHz and for power efficiency four ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz.
Furthermore, the chip integrates a 9 core ARM Mali-G77 MC9 GPU, a Wi-fi 6 modem (ax), a LPDDR4x memory controller (up to 5266Mbps), a AI processing unit (APU 3.0 with 6 cores) and video de- and encoding (including AV1).
The chip is manufactured in the modern 6nm process and should be very power efficient.
