So far, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, which relies entirely on Qualcomm chips, has received a very positive response. And even better, it’s the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 which is said to bring some significant improvements. Samsung may have a “supercharged” version available with more power.
come already Some numbers are online. These suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S23 is as close to the iPhone as it gets. However the regular iPhone 14, which comes with the A15 Bionic chip and not the new A16 Bionic.
Samsung will be at the top in terms of performance with the new Snapdragon chip and the first numbers also promise high efficiency. In particular, customers in Europe who previously had to buy Samsung smartphones with Exynos can expect a big jump.
Samsung is also close to iPhone when it comes to updates
But you can expand the whole thing further. Samsung is also close to Apple in terms of software. Current flagship smartphones and even mid-range devices come with a four-year update guarantee. With Apple, expect five years without a guaranteed guarantee.
If the EU comes up with advanced update obligations, Samsung will add another year. Apple has no advantage then. And Samsung is already close to delivering new Android versions as quickly as Google. According to Google, they are currently working on making the Android 14 process even faster.
Anyway, it’s nice to see that some Android OEMs are really looking to put past negligence behind them. But you also need to stay away from the strategy of flooding the market with cheap smartphones. Samsung dropped this image years ago.
Apart from Samsung, Google is also on the right track. While the ecosystem there is now more accurate, the still-young Pixel Watch was another piece of the puzzle.
