Just bring back a flat oled screen for fuck sake.
I had an Exynos dual-SIM S21U and it was pretty fine. I kind of miss it because my current S23U is a regular North American model with a locked bootloader.
I bought a Galaxy Note 3 way back when, they promised the Exynos chip that generation was a significant innovation with it's 8 cores (BIG.little) and would be better than the Snapdragon version. In reality, it would overheat, the camera was worse, the modem had issues. Oh, and most games didn't perform correctly due to GPU drivers being absolutely insanely broken.
Fast forward to the launch of the Galaxy S10 and here in Brazil it was Exynos based. Surely, a decade later, those issues should be gone right? Nope, the exact same nightmare: phone overheats if you barely look at it, camera quality was worse, modem had issues. GPU drivers were slightly better, but still horrendous.
I'm not falling for this a third time. My current Snapdragon S23 runs like a dream, in fact, it's cooler to the touch while playing an intensive game than my S10 browsing my photo library.
Either give me a TSMC fabbed Snapdragon, or I'll ignore that device. No Samsung fabbed SoCs for me. Memory yes, storage yes, screens yes... SoCs? Never again.
