Hi everyone. Back in 2019 I bought a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro at release. Now the charging port, software and battery are starting to cause some serious issues, which is why I am looking to get a new phone. After some search the Motorola Edge 50 Neo seemed to be a good candidate, with a good mix of decent price/performance and not being Xiaomi (I hate the OS). Now to my actual question: Looking at benchmarks, it seems like my Mi 9T Pro has roughly the same performance as the Edge 50 neo, if not better. Am I reading that correctly? Would I not see an improvement in performance with this “upgrade”? Is a rather top tier phone from ~5.5 years ago comparable to a mid ranger from today?
Any input or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
I’m a bit late but mid range Dimensity chips are generally more power efficient than last gen Snapdragons (888, 8 Gen 1) which means the battery should last longer - not just for a single charge but for overall battery health, as you don’t need to charge it as often
