Samsung somehow thinks it's okay to charge $499 while delivering no tangible upgrades.

It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it’s charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

Plus, he forgets to mention that Samsung skips on a microSD card for A56 which was present on A55. Though in Samsung’s favor, they are offering 6 OS upgrades and I doubt any other OEM except Google matches it.

    Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.

    This hasn’t been the case in 20 years now.

    ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die.

    This has no bearing on software support at all.

      Oh ok, so the B550 chipset in my PC that handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports Excavator through Zen3 isn’t real, got it. Same with the Q270 in my Optiplex 7050 that also handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports 6th and 7th gen Intel CPUs; I guess that isn’t real either. My bad.

      Then why don’t you go inform the LineageOS devs that they’re obviously doing it wrong.
