There are people ... moreAccording to Nanoreview, the Snapdragon 845, which was released 7 years ago, has comparable performance to a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. That’s still a perfectly usable (if not a little slow) chip for 2025, and some new phones like the Moto G 2024 still use the 4 Gen 1. But the S25 Slim, if we go by the numbers in the article, took about a 20% performance hit because of its form factor. One chip that’s about 20% slower than the 845 is the Dimensity 700, which is the chip on the Moto G 2022. And by comparison, that phone feels a lot slower

There are people now using Helio G99 today and think the phone performs fine. SD8 Elite will perform fine 7 years from now. The question that should be asked is whether Samsung would still stock the battery replacement by then.

potato4k, 10 Jan 2025What kind of usage that requires such high multi-core score?Right now, basically nothing other than heavy gaming and video editing. But in 7 years when this phone is running Android 22, the S25 slim is gonna start showing its age more than the other s25 phones

Battery capacity very likely compromised too and Samsung is known to put bare minimum passive cooling on the previous S series like S20 and S21.

The fact is OEMs going back to thin design because they have no more niche design to discover. Small phones like Apple Mini has proven to be unpopular so OEMs are gambling the thin design will catch on.

These people even would call the default messaging app as bloatware cause it is not from Google.
Buh, If anyone like Google product so much then why buy a phone from Samsung or Sony?
Any first party(manufacturer) apps that is inegrated to help the user shouldn't be considered a bloatware.

Well duh, who would have thought an extra slim phone is technically very unwise and a huge, unnecessary compromise?
