    These changes tend to be global because it’s cheaper to make the change for everyone than have two different designs and manufacturing (one for EU and other for the rest of the world). And more often than not EU is too big of a market to ignore.

        Oh? Got a source on this?
        Its the first time im hearing about this.

        Edit : did some digging and ye, most of the world doesnt get the snapdragons. From what i read the performance, battery life etc are all over the place compared to the same phones with snapdragons. Also, samsung is not allowed to sell their own socs in places where they sell the snapdragon versions?
        This is some weird ass shit and i assume it has to do with profit or something.

        Don’t worry, you can essentially get the same shit CPU in the US by buying a Pixel.
