Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G
The 2021 midrange darling: a 6nm chip with four Cortex-A78 cores, Wi-Fi 6E and a triple-ISP camera stack that gave phones like the Galaxy A52s and Nothing Phone (1) a flagship feel. The Adreno 642L still handles casual games, but the 6nm node now shows its age.

- Wi-Fi 6E and triple ISP were rare at this price
- Defined a strong generation of midrangers
- Cool, well-behaved thermals
Cons
- 6nm process trails modern 4nm parts
- Adreno 642L struggles with today's heavy games
- Cortex-A78 cores predate Armv9
