Snapdragon 778G+ Confirmed as SoC for phone (1)
Personally, battery life is one of my top priorities for a phone, so the choice of the midrange chipset is fine with me.
Simple people not rushing to get the newest CPU. All they need is good battery life and +- a high-end camera with stabilization. I guess nothing else matters
Here are 3 articles concerning the more or less detailed technical sheet.
