I think this sentiment that "guys, we reached peak smartphone - there is nothing we can do" is pure nonsense.

Over the last couple years there were plenty of usfull new features that haven't caught on with mainstream devices but that would benefit lots of people.

LG's second display case, variable Zoom cameras from Sony, ways to use the main camera for selfies like Asus' camera swivel system or Xiaomi's small rear display, toolless sim slots like in older Sony phones, active Stylus support, ... .

Not at all, but its just agonizing watching this once trailblazing company release esentially the same phone for the 4th time now.

Apple at least fixed two of their dumbest past decisions this generation (lightning and flat sides which make the phone unergonomic).

Which obviously is doesn't make them amazing but at least they improved something.

Samsung could easily do the same, bring back 1440p one the base model, SD Card Slot, IR Blaster, Headphone Jack, IR Blaster, ...

I wouldn't be able to design a more boring Samsung phone myself. Apple looks like the nexus of innovation in comparison to these lame ass "upgrades".

Also I can't wait for the Exynos 2400 to even further ruin these phones.

Gives me "Lets just put AI on our camera bump" vibes

Yeah, I image all the PS3 / Xbox 360 era games would probably just work without much effort.

Terrible Idea - in Austria many young men do a 9 month long social service instead of military service and many often get treated like shit.

And with the 4000 Series it worked so damn well. 4090s sold like sliced bread

To answer the question in the title - it varies a lot. For example one of the things I hate about my (Exynos) S22 Ultra is the high "sleep mode" drain - about 1.5% / hour on Wifi.

At the same time some other phones I have drain like 3% in 24h under the same conditions.

I have yet to find a good pattern what causes good standby times vs bad ones but in general Qualcomm chips perform better than Mediatek Chips which perform better than Exynos chips. And generally speaking ROMs that are close to Stock Android perform better than heavily altered ones.

For optimizations - best thing you can do is turn off Location Services and Bluetooth while you don't need them. And Airplane mode also helps.

Also I think since the phone "wastes" a lot of energy during bootup its probably better to just put your phone in airplane mode instead of turning it off.

which also is split between GPU and CPU

I finally upgraded my GTX970 to a used RTX 3080 for 300€. The difference at least for me for the same 300€ was insane.

The thing is its working so damn well. 4090s are selling in huge numbers.

Maybe by some Miracle the Exynos is good this time (I doubt it however)

Just as much love as Microsoft shows the rest of Xbox

Basically, yes.

And now Samsung and AMD are developing mobile GPUs lol

Pulls out the remote unaliver

They got bought up by AMD and their mobile GPU division got bought by qualcom.

Getting anmoying computer work done. And AI is already more or less there but for now you have to tell it to generate a script (in bash, python, powershell, ...) that then does the work.

For example I used AI to generate a script that sortes through a MP3 music library based on genere, artist and album from the file's metadata.

yes

The A54 wins the value award. Lmao.
