Personal point of view. I'll wait for this of next generation middle class SoC which come with capabilities of 8K video recording. I'll already have phone with 4K.

I feel none of the major brands are going to use these socs, recently I see Samsung, Motorola and etc... are using MTK or Exynos chips to save a few bucks sacrificing quality and stability as Only adreno has quality drivers. It's funny that Chinese brands are the only ones using SD 7 Gen 1

Maybe Qualcomm could start developing and selling smartphones. :p

A phone with a 7+ gen 2, head[hone jack, SD card, and a user removable 7000+ mah battery is my dream phone.

Hmm, offers for devices with this SoC for around $300(for new unused device with full warranty) despite of lack of 8K video recording are attractive to me, too. If I find any, I may reconsider my intention to wait some more time, to products with an even newer generation SoC, and make a purchase in the next few months.

If it was a user replaceable battery, repair friendly, and ran graphene OS with 5+ years of support (and the option to be google free), I'd gladly throw down $1000+. Since I could use it for 5+ years I'd be totally fine with it.

I would love to see the S24 say use something like this and get costs down. Why you can't get full features without a top-line SoC is beyond belief.
