Can you rely on midrange soc for few years.

Im planning to buy a new phone with snapdragon 730, and that soc is the most powerful midrange in 2019. People saying you wont notice the difference when playing graphical games on max setting when compared to flagship, youll only notice few seconds slower loading time. 700 chips is also far power efficient making them better experience. Can you rely on it for about 4 years just like flagships especially for graphical games?

So....
over the last couple of years... you've been asking about chipsets prior to every phone purchase?

how has that worked out for you?

You definitely can, the 730 uses 8nm process technology and it probably will be around for the next 3 years.

My HTC 10 has the 620 and after 3 years I don't have any problem while using it daily. Yes it does get hot when I play heavy games but it's 14nm technology. With the 8nm technology in the 730 heat isn't a problem.
