My headcanon is that Snapdragon 875 would've been a great chip unlike the infamously overheating 888.

  I'm on a Snapdragon 870 (moto g100), and it's great. Performance and battery life are both good enough that I don't think about it very often, and I've never had any overheating issues. I think the 870 was the highest end Snapdragon that didn't have any overheating issues for a while.

    5nm Samsung process was just bad. Needs active cooling. I've had the sm8250 (865 in my case) and it's a great chip that's faster in real-world conditions than the 888 hand warmer was. Now I have an 8 gen 2 device and it has no overheating issues. The 8 gen 1+ doesn't appear to have any either. I avoided the 8 gen 1 after having the bad experience with the 888.

      Aah, ok, I edited my comment to just say that it was the best for a while, not still the best. Agree with you about Samsung's 5nm process.
