Man, this timeline sucks.
On the other hand… Year of the fairphone? Maybe year of the Linux phone?

Not until they use snapdragon elite or the newest flagship

Why though? Unless you’re really into mobile gaming, I don’t see any difference in day to usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

I so strongly disagree with that. The Snapdragon 7 gen 4 in this phone is roughly on par with the Snapdragon 888 from 2020 (S21 series). You couldn’t pay me to daily drive an S21 Ultra, let alone pay 67% of an S25 (a mid cycle phone) for a phone with a 4 year old performance profile. 600$ can be a used S24 Ultra.

The 7G4 is on par in speed with the 888, but it uses a lot less power. And with decent software updates, a Snapdragon 820 is still fast enough for most people (including me).

No complaints regarding performance with a 2018’ Poco F1 here.

Using a Pixel 8a with a Tensor G3, a chip that’s regularly called a bit underpowered. My phone before that had a Snapdragon 765G, another pretty midrange SoC. I couldn’t name a single app that isn’t running perfectly fluently. I dunno what apps you are using, but as far as I can see, there just isn’t any relevant difference in daily usage between current mid-range and flagship SoCs.
