I'm 100% okay with lower benchmark results on a chip with a better process node. I don't need to edit multiple threads of 4k video on my phone. I don't need to run 100 tabs at once on my phone. I don't need to play 4k raytaced games on my phone.

I need battery life, aligned with a smooth experience when using phones like 95% of us use them. Excellent cameras being in the equation as well.

I love the Ultra experience - big, high quality screen, stylus, the best cameras, big battery, and a smooth experience with lots of storage for offline needs. But anytime I need processing power for a big workload, I use my laptop or desktop accordingly.

Our needs are basic, and trying to cater to the 1% of those who try to replace a good laptop or desktop with a phone ruins it for everyone else.

If it weren't for inferior camera quality, the old S10 my gf has still performs amazingly. Runs all apps just fine with zero delays. Running an S22U as my main phone, but looking forward to the S25U - mainly for the camera updates.

Ultimately, it's not how much processing power a device has, but how efficiently the software utilizes it. Raw power does not equal performance if the software is poorly written, and throwing more power at something underscores what could actually be done if the software was efficient.
