Weekly poll results: most people prefer older flagship chipsets

19 November 2023
Not that they wouldn't get the cutting edge chip if the price is right, but more often than not it isn't. Mid-range chips have their fans too.

New chipsets with similiar specs to desired older chip IMO is better buy.

    We have:
    1. a capable chipset,
    2. for under midrange price,
    3. with less bloatware,
    4. often Stable software version, (granted its sometimes a bit unsafe)
    5. and addities like microSD and 3.5mm (sometimes)

    Things are workable on a Snadragon 855 phone even today, and quite good, at least compared to 99% of the midrangers.

                          Do you have proof for it is more efficient than 8gen2 at reduced power? Even if you have how many people you think will underclock their phone ?

                                Midrange chip is good enough

                                  "And they do have a point – Google’s new Magic Editor for the Pixel 8 series uses a cloud-based service, despite the Tensor chip being geared specifically towards AI. If a server somewhere does the heavy lifting, why pay extra for a faster chip that will sit idle in your pocket?"

                                  (1) That's an incredibly niche scenario.
                                  (2) The Tensor chip is geared towards nothing, not AI. It's horrible Samsung silicon.

                                    Here’s the current hierarchy of Modern Chipsets for Android Phones:
