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.

The Motorola Edge 50 Neo seems indeed nice. Performance wise, you might indeed not get that much more (https://www.topcpu.net/en/soc-c/qualcomm-snapdragon-855-vs-mediatek-dimensity-7300), because Motorola cheaped out a bit on the CPU.

I have a Motorola Edge 30 Fusion, the CPU is quite faster, in this case you would really see a gap: https://www.topcpu.net/en/soc-c/qualcomm-snapdragon-855-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-888

    Ah thanks for the links! I find it very hard to compare mobile CPUs, with all their different splittings between clock frequencies and so on. According to your link and most of the other stuff I saw the performances should not be too dissimilar in either way. Given hoe the actual performance of my phone is not one of the problems I think I will just get the Edge 50 Neo.

    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
