Interesting. Samsung making a bold move here, but one that could make sense.

    Isn’t that a bubble? Phones are 10x more performant than they need to be anyway. Not like in gaming/server market where it’s always too slow, no matter how fast.

      My phone is now 7 years old and it still works perfectly. Maybe not the newest of the newest games, but i don’t care for games on my phone anyways. And the amazing contributors keeping lineageos up to date for my phone model makes me not need a newer phone :)

      People said that 10 years ago and all these phones are barley usable now.

        Yeah it’s honestly quite impressive. Software developers have managed to take orders of magnitudes of Hardware improvements over the years and keep Pace ensuring that software still runs like complete utter trash garbage

          Not to speak of the battery life that hasn’t improved at all.

            Battery life has definitely improved, my old android phones (Moto 2, HTC Evo 4g, Samsung Galaxy s2, nexus 5) wouldn’t usually last a day, meanwhile my fold 2 now lasts 2-3
