Performance is important, sure, but is that the be-all and end-all of buying a smartphone? Let's see if we can find out.

Not gonna lie, I didn’t think that this was going to be a question I’d have to ask so soon. But, in the past few months a couple of interesting things happened that made me really think about the high-end flagship processor so many of us often covet in our smartphones.

If you had asked me or anyone in the SoyaCincau office this a couple of years ago, we would have definitely said yes. After all, I didn’t think that there was any substitute for the raw performance that a flagship chip could bring to the table. And for the most part, enthusiast-friendly brands like Xiaomi, Honor, Realme and the lot have always striven to deliver on these goods.

The goal, it felt like, was always to get the most powerful processor into the lowest price bracket possible–choosing instead to sacrifice on as many other “unnecessary” features as they could.Famously, Xiaomi spin-off brand Pocophone did that with their debut smartphone, the legendary Pocophone F1.

Naturally, everyone reveled in this democratisation of smartphone power. Suddenly, owning a phone with the high-end power of a RM4,000 flagship handset wasn’t completely out of the average Joe’s reach anymore. Of course, before Pocophone came along and made waves, anyone who has been following the scene will know that brands like Xiaomi and Honor have been doing the whole amazing performance-per-ringgit smartphone game this entire time.
