Samsung and Apple make their own processors too...?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 35 minutes ago

sam sung did, they abandoned for thier higher end models, i think thier "budgety phones" still use thier processor.

[–] degen@midwest.social 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not saying they couldn't get results with another processor, but that it still wouldn't be a "cheap" processor found in a budget device

[–] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The Pixel 7a is a budget device.

In a sense, but it's more of a mid-budget phone. I'm thinking like $200 phones. Maybe the landscape is different than what I'm considering nowadays.

Edit: I might not be giving Motorola enough credit either lol

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

In a world chock-full of $1200+ phones, yeah, I'd say $500 is firmly in "budget" territory.

Oh me too. If you missed the edit, I'm starting think I just don't have a great image of Motorola lol
