I work in an electronics and smartphone retailer currently and have worked for Vodafone & Three too, across a decade now. Spec hunters are not buying Samsung.
A vast, vast majority of the younger guys are buying IPhone’s (I’d say at least 80%) with most of my Samsung customers being in their 40-50’s, with a very small number of younger people perhaps going for the Ultra models, and more recently Pixels.
Samsung knows its market. Outside of India and China - where they seem to value spec above most else - regular, everyday people simply don’t give a shit. They’ve never heard of snapdragon, or exynos and even brands like Oppo/OnePlus are completely and utterly foreign to them.
And because people here don’t give a shit, they sell. Now, their MUST be a reason why the exynos chips either don’t sell, or it’s cheaper to market in the US comparative to Europe - or they wouldn’t do it.
Essentially, for the vast, vast majority of people - it’s a complete non-issue and Samsung isn’t about to blow tens of millions on different chips so people like you and me - the tiny, diminutive vocal minority - might get some better battery life.
It sucks, but it’s why I don’t by Samsung anymore and I’m better for it.
