Curious to see how this plays out. I was planning on upgrading my Note 20 to an S25 Ultra next year, but I keep hearing inconsistent things about this chip and now I’m hesitant.

Just a few months ago early leaks seemed to indicate it was a battery hog, now it’s apparently not. But now some phones are apparently overheating with it, but maybe adequate cooling solutions will make this a non-issue.

I dunno, just scared we might have another early 800s chipset on our hands.
