A newer generation and at least 10% difference? Not good

Are the 4th Gen 1 models supposed to be low-end, and the 4th Gen 2 models mid-range, even with a much lower GPU speed and only a slight CPU upgrade? What a joke!

Gpu is very bad. It gives only a 60,000 score in antutu on the other hand 4gen 1 gpu gives more than 100,000 in antutu.

Zzz, The 2nd generation Snapdragon 4 is not really a mid-range device, but the 1st generation Snapdragon 4 is regarded as low-end. The gaming performance is best in the 2nd generation Snapdragon 4 because it uses a 4nm chip.

Happy, Not really. The Adreno 613 is a clear downgrade compared to the Adreno 619, and that will be noticeable in real life usage as well. Plus, it is manufactured using Samsung's 4nm node, which is far less efficient than TSMC's manufacturing process. 4Gen2 is not an upgrade from 4Gen1 at all.

Early benchmarks suggest the GPU is weaker. Looks like a downgrade to me.

Downgraded gpu? Then still lacking 4k recording? Or even 2k support?
