Any year that Samsung struggles with Exynos is good year for consumers
I would argue the best option would be Exynos was roughly competitive with Snapdragon.
As much as Qualcomm modems rule, it’d be nice to have some competition in this space at all.
Il talking more in terms of performance and power consumption, I would never go back to a Samsung fabbed chip on a mobile device, unless they can prove they match TSMC But yes more competition is always welcome. Unfortunately the only real option right now is realtek but they are very closed chips with close to no custom ROM support
The modem in pixel 9 is pretty good from what I have seen.
That’s good to hear. I’ve been waiting to see some in-depth testing reports from people that know how to put them through their paces.
