Just heard this news on a site..
Came rushing here.
Say what... Sammy is using SnapDragon Chip in A30 series ???!!
They... They ! Are using SnapDragon ??
I know I'm over reacting but... I can't believe this.
They don't even use Dimensity because of Exynos Stock.
I wonder .. I mean 6 gen 3 isn't best but it's same Cortex as my Nord and also City 8200...

PureOS, 02 Mar 2025Huge upgrade in soc? It just has 100k more AnTuTu, which is... moreG99 to Exynos 1380 is big leap. You're going from 2x ancient A76 cores to 4x A78 cores. Exynos 1380 offers a much smoother and better quality of life in overall user experience than the ancient G99.
And then there's 4K video recording and wifi 6.
People use their phones not by staring at antutu benchmark scores.

still no HDR10 for A36 and also the notch is still there on the A26 small upgrades like this Samsung doesn't care about, in 1 year Samsung couldn't have thought of this?

Sad that A36 lost expandable storage in exchange (apparently, I haven't confirmed it myself) of a headphone jack.
A26 is a remarkably attractive pick, given it's features, lower price and hardware specs. Very odd move from Samsung with the A26/A36

Well, this is interesting.
A36 SoC is disappointing, but now it gets a headphone jack!
The real star imo is actually the A26. Not only it gets Exynos 1380, it gets IP67 as well. The A26 is a huge jump over the G99/Dimensity 6300 on the A16.
This leaves the A36 to be the odd ball. Why pick it when the A26 has a similarly performing SoC and IP67 as well for less? The A36 would’ve been more interesting if it got Exynos 1480.

The A26 is a steal for 300€ such a good deal. Unbeatable price,it has no competition.

A35 x A26
A35 has tougher glass ( no plastic back ), larger camera, no notch ( surely newer screen) , variant with 12GB ram.
