Review by Tenzys Tech
CPU
CPU of Dimensity 1100 is clocked up to 2.6 GHz while Snapdragon 845 is clocked up to 2.8 GHz but still, Dimensity 1100 has better performance just because of latest Cortex A-78 Cores.
GPU
GPU of chipset Dimensity 1100 is equipped with Mali-G77 MC9 while the snapdragon 845 is equipped with Adreno 630. Frankly, Mali-G77 MC9 is much better than Adreno 630. Also, the frequency of GPU of Dimensity 1100 is higher than the GPU of Snapdragon 845.
Memory
The maximum memory (RAM) supported by Dimensity 1100 is 16 GB while on another hand Snapdragon 845 supports only 8 GB of RAM. In fact, the memory frequency of Dimensity 1100 is 4266 MHz while in SD 845 it is 1866 MHz. So in this section Dimensity 1100 would be a good option.
Display and Camera
In-display section, Dimensity 1100 supports display up to 144Hz refresh rate while display resolution in Snapdragon 845 supports only up to 60 Hz.
Energy efficiency and battery life
As the facts are seen by the specifications in which Dimensity 1100 built on 6nm process technology while on another hand SD 845 built on 10nm technology. This concludes that Dimensity 1100 is better than SD 845 as the small size semiconductor indicates the more no. of transistors embedded in SOC (System On Chip) which is not only energy efficient but also significantly enhances the performance of the chipset.
MediaTek Dimensity 1100
Summary
Decent Chipset but not recommended for overclock processing.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
Summary
Best performer in Flagship Series of 2018 or better performer in 2019.
