What I would like to see (and definitely won't) is a price cut for Exynos devices.
Have experienced this hyperbole regarding the Exynos chipset on at least 4 occasions with different Samsung devices. On each occasion I have been disappointed by its real world performance in comparison to Qualcomm. What really grinds my gears is that we in the U.K. pay more for our devices than the U.S.A. and end up with an inferior product.

To be honest I really don't understand why Samsung persists with their exynos chips. Qualcomm chips are clearly the best, not only in performance but offer other features like BT5.2, AptX and various other audio features when paired with a Qualcomm equipped headphone, 5G, better video and camera options etc

Can they really be so much more expensive that it's worthwhile for Samsung to spend billions making their own? If Xiaomi can offer Qualcomm in the budget range they really cannot be that expensive. Plus you've also got MediaTek making good chips now as a cheaper alternative.

I have seen enough older relatives with budget Samsung's with super slow phones waiting for things to load and apps to open because of the junk Exynos inside to know they are rubbish chips and make for a very bad experience.

I actually look for Qualcomm equipped devices when looking at a new device, on purpose, for all the benefits it has and here Samsung is still messing around with Exynos rubbish. Waste of time and money.

They really are that much cheaper for Samsung. And unfortunately, the vast majority of customers would never know the difference or that there were even two variants.

Yeah, it won't affect me either way cuz I'm getting an Ultra and if it turns out the Ultra is Exynos I'm keeping my S23U. But I do think other people who get stuck with the Exynos should at least be able to feel like they got a good deal on it to compensate for the lacking performance. #socialism

Yeah, I've complained about the same myself. Paying more for worse products, not to mention trade-ins here being laughable. When I upgraded to the Flip 5 I paid £1050 and got a £440 trade for a pristine 512GB Flip 4. Meanwile over in the colonies they were paying $999 and getting $900 for the same trade... Hard not to feel like Samsung should have bought me dinner first lol.
