InnoReviews verdict

MediaTek Dimensity 9200 wins this mobile chipset face-off, 55.4 to 45.7, pulling ahead mainly in GPU (+16) and efficiency (+13). Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 still makes sense if its price or standout specs fit your needs better.

Editor's note

Two used-market favorites, two years apart, and the gap shows: the Dimensity 9200 leads AnTuTu 1.5M to 1.04M and more than doubles the 888's Wild Life Extreme score on a far cooler 4nm process. The 888's remaining advantage is price and the sheer variety of phones that carried it. As a used buy, a 9200 phone is the better phone; an 888 phone is the cheaper ticket to yesterday's flagship build quality.
