In the mobile phone circle, people often say that buying new ones is not old ones. But in some cases, this creed may not be so effective. After all, some new products may be slightly upgraded from old products, while some old products have higher cost performance. For example, the first model of Dimensity 8200 has been launched now. Are old mobile phones like Dimensity 8100 worth buying? This issue needs to be analyzed in detail. Let’s use the most mainstream 12GB+256GB version of the first model iQOO Neo7 SE as a reference to compare it with those Dimensity 8100 phones.
iQOO Neo7 SE is the first Dimensity 8200 model, and it has rich configurations, even including the less common 16GB+256GB version. But I believe that 12GB + 256GB should be the first choice for most people. After all, 12GB memory is enough to play large games at this stage. If it is not enough, then Dimensity 8200 cannot be brought. This phone is priced at 2499 yuan, Antutu 901010 points, 5000mAh large battery, 120W fast charging, and a rear 6400W pixel main camera, which is definitely enough in all aspects.
Let’s talk about the Dimensity 8200 chip. It is a high-frequency version of Dimensity 8000, and its status is the same as Dimensity 8100. However, Dimensity 8100 has upgraded its support for 2K resolution screens, Dimensity 8200 mainly improves performance, and Antutu's evaluation is indeed tens of thousands of points higher. Therefore, whether Dimensity 8200, Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 8000 mobile phones is worth buying depends mainly on the price difference.
1, OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, 12GB+256GB price of 1899 yuan
If the same configuration version is used, Dimensity 8100 is 600 yuan cheaper than Dimensity 8200 mobile phone, is it worth buying? I believe that this price difference can be considered first in Dimensity 8100 mobile phone. After all, the performance gap between the two is about 10%, and the price difference is far more than 10%. What's more, Dimensity 8100 is not insufficient. However, if you focus on playing games, you should give up on good performance. In addition, the LCD screen of the mobile phone and 67W fast charging may also make you give up on the OnePlus Ace racing version.
2, Realme GT Neo3, 12GB+256GB price is 2399 yuan
At this stage, there are also some Dimensity 8100 phones that are similar to iQOO Neo7 SE. For example, Realme GT Neo3, this phone's 80W fast charging version is only 100 yuan cheaper than iQOO Neo7 SE. So do you still need to consider it in this situation? The battery life of this phone is a 5000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, which is a little slower. It uses all the price to take photos and uses an IMX766 main camera to improve its photography capabilities. It is also a product with selling points.
3, Redmi K50, 12GB+256GB price is 2499 yuan
There is also a mobile phone with the same price as the Dimensity 8200 mobile phone. It is the Redmi K50. This product is also the first model of Dimensity 8100, and the price is 2499 yuan so far. The phone is equipped with 67W fast charging and a larger 5500mAh battery, and it also has a selling point, that is, the 2K screen, which makes the Dimensity 8100 truly value. Of course, the shortcomings of this phone are in taking pictures. After all, the same main camera as Redmi K20 has been used again. It can only be said that it depends on what your focus is on when purchasing.
summary, perhaps when the mobile phone was released, Dimensity 8200 was very eye-catching, but now in a horizontal comparison, Dimensity 8100 is not that bad, and may even have some advantages. So whether it is worth buying depends on whether you pay attention to the direction of optimization of these mobile phones and whether you care about the shortcomings of your mobile phone. It doesn’t mean that new products will definitely be better, this is the current situation in the mobile phone market.
