              "which isn’t unheard of in the world of mobile technology (Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, cough, cough)."

              Seriously? Adding a plus to the current version is the same as changing the whole number and selling it as new?
              The SD8+ even changed the node from Samsung to TSMC, so it's a bigger change.

                    That's what you call Intel i5 on a smartphone that you can access and load or do anything in a zippy transition.

                    Dis you know, the government, ci5, ministry off defense uses custom made qualcom cores at 3.7ghz with 3 x A72 cores with 7000mah battery at 13w Tdp......

                                    People obsessing over iPhone's RAM capacity are the definition of people who don't understand how things even work...

And even if they did offer retailers the option to choose, those retailers would base the decision on which ever one was the cheapest when buying from Samsung, not what ‘developers love’.

                                        I guarantee you that if for some reason Samsung decide to switch to Snapdragon variants for the uk release of say the S23 series, then it’s the Snapdragon variants you’ll see in the shops here.
