SoCs (System on Chip) : Which one\’s the best for you under 20K?

Here\’s a list of best SoCs under the 20K price segment :

NOTE : THE NUMBERING DOESN\’T REPRESENT THE RANKING

1) The first one on our list is Qualcomm\’s Snapdragon 730G :

The Snapdragon 730G is a gaming centered chip-set where G represent gaming. We\’ve seen it now only in mid-rangers, but also in some of the flagships as well : POCO X2, last year\’s realme\’s (It is \’realme\’ and not \’Realme\’) insane value for money smartphone, realme X2, Samsung\’s innovative A80 and also the smartphone through which Motorola made a comeback in the mid-range segment, Motorola One Fusion +.
The fabrication process technology here is 8 nm, which makes it an efficient SoC, saving both battery and not letting down performance.
It also has the support for capture of 64MP pictures and 4K video recording at 60FPS.
It has the Adreno™ 618 GPU, which handles Graphically Intensive tasks pretty easily. The gaming experience here is really good.

2) Second one in our list on Qualcomm\’s Snapdragon 720G

The Snapdragon 720G was launched after the 730G, which is the reason why few smartphone brands declared the 720G as the better among the two.
On paper, there might be a slight difference between these two, but when it comes to real-life situations, they are on par.
We can see the Snapdragon 720G in some of the most efficient mid-range and also in some of the flgship phones : The Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Note 9 Pro Max, both have the 720G SoC on board ; Realme\’s highly advertised Realme 6 Pro; Poco M2 Pro (Same as the Redmi Note 9 Pro, with a slight change in design and launcher); It is also present in Oppo\’s new extremely advertised Reno 4 Pro.
The slight difference on paper, as I mentioned earlier is the CPU : The 720G comes with the Kryo 465 Octa-Core CPU whereas the 730G has a slightly better Kyro 470 Octa-Core CPU.
However, the AI processing on the 720G is better than the 730G.

3) The next one on the list is MediaTek\’s Helio G90T

The MediaTek Helio G90T has appeared in a couple of smartphones in 2019 and 2020 : First, on the Redmi Note 8 Pro; Then, the realme 6 ; And the realme 6i.
All these smartphones were marketed with a \’Gaming\’ stamp. All thanks to the G90T. The GPU performance here is just phenomenal and so is the CPU performance.
It has the Mali – G76 GPU, which has amazing video and photo capabilities : 4K video capture and 64 Megapixel shots.
A slight disadvantage here is the fabrication process technology : It\’s 12 nm here, which ,makes it a little less efficient, consuming battery more than the ones mentioned before. But that\’s not going to be a big deal as most of the phones with this processor come with very fast chargers.
Coming to the CPU performance:As mentioned earlier, it\’s amazing and super smooth. All thanks to the Cortex-A55 and a highly clocked A76.

4)The next and the final one on the list is Samsung\’s very own and \’most favorite\’ Exynos 9611

The Exynos 9611 is seen is quite a \’lot\’ Samsung\’s smartphones : Samsung M21 ; M30s ; M31 ; M31s ; A50s. Samsung have stuck with the Exynos 9611 for a lot of their smartphones.
This doesn\’t mean that it isn\’t good. If Samsung have dared to put it in their A series high-end A50s, then it\’s surely going to be a good one.
It\’s not centered towards a particular aspects, in other words, it\’s an \’All-Rounder\’.
The CPU performance here is great, with the Cortex-A73 clocked at 2.3GHz and Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.7GHz.
Looking at the GPU, it has the Mali-G72, which is quite good for occasional gaming. It\’s not as good as the ones mentioned above, but gives a good gaming experience.
It too, just like the others, has support for 4K video recording and 64 Mega-Pixel photo capture, which makes it on par with others when comes to camera.
