When I see the number 5, I expect 5 to be better than 4 or 4+, so I expect more power. The Snapdragon 865 is almost a downgrade compared to Pocket 4+'s Dimensity 1100. The SD865 will have almost no performance advantage, likely use slightly more battery power, and keep less cool. If the Pocket 5 is $199 I guess it would have aesthetic advantage, but if you already have a 4+ this would not be an upgrade if your goal was seeing more FPS. Personally I prefer power over OLED.
