Seems like you really don't have many options, what's your current phone?

What country and carrier?

lollll.... Galaxy Alpha and after charging it to 100% my mobile works for 30 mins with minimum brightness..Xd

Saudi arabia

S10+ : 2400 riyals ($639)

Reasons to buy s10+ : IP68-telephoto lens-good performance(not sure about the exynos)-good battery

I can still buy A71($373)(snapdragon) or A71 5g($513)(exynos) but i always wanted to use a flagship phone

It certainly isn't a bad idea to upgrade your phone, but you could also consider getting a replacement battery for your Alpha, since it has a user-removable battery. The behavior you're describing sounds like a failing battery.

Are you able to get a Snap Dragon s10+ ?

 

[imsarfu_840]

the snapdragon version is only available in US and china i guess rest of the countries get Exynos processor which is designed by SCAMsung. some are telling that exynos is working fine others are telling that they have some issues even when they use 4G for 30 mins the device gets heated up

I don't understand why the hell is scamsung trying to make a processor if they know they have the worst processor.If they don't know how to make a good processor then then better to stop making them instead of scamming others

Yes this is true, and been like that for awhile. At one point the exyno chip was better in every way but that has changed now .

I have an Exynos S10+. Having had a Pixel 4xl with a snapdragon 855 I can feel a little difference in the processor speed. The phone, though, is one of the best I have ever owned. I have had a little lag at times, but I run a lot of apps. I tend to close my apps when I am finished with them and my RAM is normally not full.

It hasn't run hot with me. I have been lucky.

I did reset my phone recently and the lag has gone, so I think installing and uninstalling apps a lot had caused my lagging problem. I have not lagged since my reset.

I wouldn't pay full price for an Exynos chip, but at the price you have found it for, I think you will have a great experience with this phone. I actually prefer the Samsung version of most apps and if you plug it into a monitor with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it will run in Dex desktop mode, which I use all the time.

The camera updates and the update to OneUI 2.1 have brought significant improvements to the phone. The photo quality is very good now and I enjoy taking photos with it.

In the end, it is your choice. But I did give my husband my pixel 4xl and keep the S10+ as it was a superior phone experience in my opinion.
