Huh, it seems like they have gone with Snapdragon 765 instead of 865. Is the price difference between the processors that high?

Also, I think Google should commit to four year updates now.

765g has a builtin 5g modem, 865 is a 2 chip solution.

865 is faster, costs more, uses more energy, and takes up more board real estate.

If the next gen 8 series qualcomm can integrate the modem, it might be an easier decision. Currently the 765g seems like the overall superior solution, even if somewhat slower.

OnePlus 8 have it for the same price (little lower actually)
