Once again, fuck Samsung for doing this!
It’s not as much on Samsung as it’s on Qualcomm playing hardball. By using their own chips Samsung is showing they won’t be pushed around.
Yes, but by using their own chips in a big market they’re making their users leave for iPhone or potentially other android makers that don’t ruin your battery life like Exynos. Typing this from a hot S20 plus 😔
On that note, may I interest you into looking at the Sony line-up? 🙂 Either this year’s (V) or previous (IV), they make incremental upgrades so it’s not a huge difference year-to-year. Even the 2021 models (III) are still interesting if you can find them.
Best battery life I’ve ever seen on a phone.
Prepare for the dreaded bootloop after update
Will wait to see how it plays out. Seems that the Exynos 2400 is expected to be less crap then the past few gens of Exynos processors, so so long as it’s not going to crater battery life or performance vs the Snapdragon models I’m not fussed.
