Just like my Galaxy S10 Plus with 512gb (2019) feels identical to my new and expensive Sony Xperia 1 III (2021)
Im currently on an iphone 8 still kicking.
If it had a removable battery I would buy it in a heartbeat, I dont think Ill ever need to replace my phone as long as it has good battery health. Problem is, there are almost no phones on the market that do have one. Last one I had was a LG G3.
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…
>reddit, [...] twitter Probably not the best examples because they have bloated webapps that are pretty slow/laggy.
Reddit on a desktop does this kinda weird jiggle thing.
I thought my eyes were going bad, and then you notice the page is still loading after 10 seconds.
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.
For now, at least. I imagine they'll have caught up before too many generations. Samsung clearly has the resources to keep up.

A great deal of the processor on phones and for people to upgrade aren’t necessarily the processor speed but a better ISP and also an accelerator to process pictures faster. The secondary reasons to buy a phone is getting a better camera and battery life / battery is nearing end of life. Then again I upgrade phones if they come out in green also. My last upgrade was for a 120hz screen refresh rate.

Also samsung seems to be doing something fishy with benchmark results. It seems like exynos has been very close or even outperforming snapdragon for years now in benchmarks but the performance gap in real life is still massive. My friend imported a samsung s21 and it is a nightmare compared to my snapdragon s21.

Based on what I've read it seems to me that the gap has become worth over the years... The last time I remember reading that the exynos was competitive was around the Galaxy S6 so 2015
So the rest of the world will finally feel the same pain as europeans with the slower exynos chips…
