The exynos vs snapdragon issue is a long standing issue with Samsung. There's also very significant differences between the flagship phones like the S22 ultra sold in EU (exynos) and the ones sold in the US or Asia (snapdragon)

Getting an Exynos galaxy means more thermal throttling, lower performances and is just not competitive with other brands for the budget.

So the rest of the world will finally feel the same pain as europeans with the slower exynos chips…

Aren’t those just for the Asian market?

Asian market mostly get Snapdragon except for South east asia where both are sold. In Europe, it's exclusively exynos and that means that there's pretty much no point in buying Samsung compared to other brands in Europe.

Just like my Galaxy S10 Plus with 512gb (2019) feels identical to my new and expensive Sony Xperia 1 III (2021)

Galaxy S10e was the last Android smartphone, if it only wouldn't crack within first weeks I possessed it. Now only Android phablets exist.

Day to day, anything past an iPhone 6s or 7 and phones pretty much feel the same speed.

If you game or edit pics or anything else that needs a faster proc, sure, you'll notice not having the fastest phone. But if you email, reddit, HN, twitter, etc, you're really not going to notice much.

Rumors are the iPhone 14 will have the same A15 and only the Pro will get the A16. I think you'll see a bunch of people freak out about this, but honestly, phones really don't need to be faster at this point.

>reddit, [...] twitter

Probably not the best examples because they have bloated webapps that are pretty slow/laggy.

For now, at least. I imagine they'll have caught up before too many generations. Samsung clearly has the resources to keep up.
