I don't even know what people need performance for in a phone. I mean, even the most basic SoC can run your email app, and mobile gaming is a crapfest (it's much better done on a handheld console), so who cares?
To be fair mobile gaming is a big/popular thing especially in certain regions, actually its bigger than the PC/console segment at this point. 'even if the majority of the ppl doesn't like it on tech sites/forums like TPU'
The more popular mobile games easily make 15-30+ million $/month on mobile alone not counting their possible PC client incomes.

But other than that I'm not sure really, the 8300 Ultra in my phone is already stupid overkill for the everday casual use cases.

To better deal with all the adds and tracking scripts modern webpages and apps throw at our phones.
if it wasn’t for those the 2010 snapdragon s3 would be fine for phones doing basic things like email light surfing some gps task…
Not that I agree with any ads and tracking, but I still don't see how all that couldn't be handled by any low-end chipset. My phone has a cheap-ass Helio G99 with 8 GB RAM, and it does everything just fine.

I don't know why, considering that you can get a basic phone and a handheld console much cheaper than a flagship phone alone would cost, and have all the normal phone functionality with a much better gaming experience.

While a handheld is somewhat compact its still not something you can keep in your pocket.
Since I don't drive I travel with public transport around here and I've seen a fair number of teens playing on their phones but I'm yet to see a single handheld in person.
Then theres the possible compatibility issues, most mobile games are Android/win/ios based and the mobile generation is not exactly interested in tinkering around.
