Good move by Xiaomi?

To recall, MediaTek's Helio G90T is more powerful than the regular G90. It uses a 12nm 2x 2.05GHz Cortex-A76 + 2.0GHz 6x Cortex-A55 octa-core processor paired with an 800MHz ARM Mali-G76 3EEMC4 GPU. 

G90T also has support for up to 10GB RAM, up to 64MP camera, HDR10, and Dual 4G VoLTE support.

MediaTek also introduced the "HyperEngine" technology to boost the overall performance of the phone with the G90T chip.
