Who cares? I genuinely haven't needed my phone to be faster for at least 5 years. The only reason my phone becomes slower is because of operating system bloat that they keep introducing on phones. Just give me an open OS, an old phone, and a web browser and I'm good. If I need serious computation I'll use a 400-core ephemeral cloud computer with 12 TB of RAM, or a modern GPU, depending on workload.

Pretty much. My phone is an Oppo... something. If I benchmark it, it is considered very slow but in general use I never hit the ceiling. A part of all this more starts to look the same as people debating over super cars they will never own. Pure Philosophical. Yes, there will be many users, especially on here that have their use cases for this extra grunt. But more often than not, for the average person - they will never see or need it.

I have a mid-range android from work (Samsung a53) and the UI feels annoyingly sluggish compared to my iphone 12.

  I have a super low end Xiaomi that is 4 years old and feels just as snappy as when I bought it. I am very sensitive to lag of any sort. Been advocating for 120 Hz screens (on computers and TVs) back in 2000. What, exactly, is your point? Phones should get faster hardware because the UI is slow? Clearly not a hardware problem. Hasn't been one for at least a decade

    I was responding to comments about people not needing faster phones and there was no need to compete on single core performance with apple. Apple phones are always fast in the UI. Some is fast hardware, some is software. But if samsung is not able to stripdown android to run decently on a midrange phone maybe they actually need the faster single core performance.

  Using both the A53 and A52s 5G and I feel that the performance is better on the A52s5G which I'm currently using now the type this comment. I use the A52s5G s lot more. I think the latter is better due headphone jack, speed and the option to record calls.
