While benchmarking results are helpful indicators, real-world performance can vary due to software optimisations and other factors.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: CPU & GPU
Although both Snapdragon 782G and Dimensity 7200 are octa-core chipsets, they have different cores and arrangements. For instance, the Snapdragon chip has a (1+3+4) core architecture, whereas the Dimensity chip goes with a (2+6) configuration.
The Snapdragon 782G chip has a Cortex-A78 prime core clocked at 2.7 GHz for handling demanding tasks like gaming. It has three more Cortex-A78 performance cores but clocked at 2.4 GHz, slightly lower than the prime core. The remaining are Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores clocked at 1.9 GHz.
Inside the Dimensity 7200 SoC, we have two Cortex-A715 high-performance cores clocked at 2.8 GHz, and the remaining six are Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz.
The Snapdragon 782G chip will likely offer better single-core performance and handle high-processing tasks better than Dimensity 7200. However, the Dimensity chip is more battery efficient because of more power-efficient cores and a smaller nanometer (nm) process.
As for the graphics, the Adreno 642 (in Snapdragon 782G) performs better than the Mali-G610 MC4 (in Dimensity 7200) in demanding games, despite having a lower GPU frequency of 700 MHz (vs 1130 MHz of Mali-G610 MC4). However, the difference may not be significant in most games.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: NPU
Both chipsets have NPUs to handle AI tasks. The Snapdragon 782G has a Hexagon 770 NPU that can deliver up to 12 trillion operations per second (TOPs) related to AI tasks. This can result in better AI-based noise suppression, AI voice assistant, low-power AI audio processing, and more.
The Dimensity 7200, on the other hand, has the MediaTek APU 650. Although not much has been revealed about this NPU, the official website mentions it efficiently runs AI tasks and AI-fusion processing. The NPU can enhance visuals, improve power efficiency and deliver upgraded performance.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: Multimedia
The Snapdragon chip has Qualcomm Spectra ISP, featuring 14-bit triple ISPs. This means the chip can capture simultaneously from three cameras, with swift processing up to 2 gigapixels per second. The chip supports up to 200MP photo capture (the same as Dimensity chipset) and up to 64MP photo capture (with MFNR, ZSL at 30 FPS).
Both chips can take 4K videos at 30 FPS, but the Snapdragon chip can also take up to 720p videos at 240 FPS. So, both chips have decent camera capabilities, but the one with a higher-quality lens will stand out.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: Display
Both Snapdragon 782G and Dimensity 7200 chips max out at Full HD+ resolution with HDR10+ and up to 144Hz refresh rate support. The latter also supports AI SDR-to-HDR video playback that intelligently adds HDR visuals directly into streams.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: Connectivity
Both chips have a 5G modem — Snapdragon X53 in the Snapdragon 782G and 3GPP Release-16 in the Dimensity 7200 — offering all the necessary connectivity features, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a navigation system.
While the two chips offer all necessary connectivity features, the Dimensity chip has a slight edge. It offers a newer Bluetooth v5.3 technology (vs Bluetooth v5.2 in Snapdragon 782G) and an improved Wi-Fi 6E (vs Wi-Fi 6 in Snapdragon 782G). So, you can expect better connectivity and download/upload speeds with Dimensity 7200-powered phones and tablets.
Snapdragon 782G vs Dimensity 7200: Which is Better?
While both Snapdragon 782G and Dimensity 7200 chips target the same user segment, picking one really depends on your needs. In my opinion, the Snapdragon 782G will do a better job at gaming and handling other heavy-processing tasks, while the Dimensity 7200 is a power-efficient chip with better connectivity features.
Both chips are good enough to handle day-to-day tasks. So, based on your priorities, you can pick the suitable one for your next mid-range smartphone.
