It would be a crying shame if nothing still hiked the price to that of a flagship

            Dont understant why these ppl need computer power to run apps that do not demand 1% of what desktop software requires.

                This is a let down i heard 8gen2 was one of the best processors after a long time Qualcomm has ever produced.

                  anon, 06 Mar 2023 No SD8 Gen 2 then. I am not buying this phone.For a smallish brand this was expected. No way their development cycle will be as impressive as Samsung or Xiaomi. Sure it's another BBK brand but the fact that they're not rebodying an existing Oppo or whatever means it'll be a decent phone in the end.

                  Also don't forget this isn't competing with the S23s or iPhone 14s.

                    Would be great if they could keep the price. Also, massive LOL at that Qualcomm guy

                                  That is still a plenty powerful chipset to play with. All it need is a proper software optimization and cooling hardware, that's it.

                                      just buy an S21 FE at this point if you're living in the US. S21 FE prices are dirt cheap now due to them not selling well and S23 coming out.
