      Will still lag and throttle after 1 min in the heat.

        what if exynos actually turns out to be the best soc?

          It's hard to defend Samsung these days.

            Samsung doesn't need discounts, their customers do, especially given that they are getting a worse product for the same or higher price with the Exynos variants.

              the exynos version shouldn't be a flagship, call it S26e and sell it cheaper, and leave the snapdragon as S26 for full price.

                As usual the S line is the same year after year except for the processor...why working on improvements when just marketing and useless AI will make people buy the phones anyway. Zero innovation. Dumbness for the masses...

                  Samsung executives patting themselves on the back for releasing the same phones with cheaper chips but at the same retail price 👌

                    Exynos is a waste of silicon.

                      It's easy to make money releasing the same phone every year.

                        Every year the flagship Exynos is better in benchmarks. And every year, in the real world it gets too hot, throttles to 50% so it's slower than SD and drains battery faster than the snapdragon. Very disappointing.

                          Before launch Exynos always performs the best.

                            The non-Ultra S26 models are slowly looking like an S25s model.

                              Lmao so Samsung get to earn more $$$$$ selling an inferior product for the same price as the superior one? The reasons to buy this line-up get fewer and fewer.
