Yeah that's what has put me off getting a new Samsung phone as a free upgrade even though they have better specs. They all have the stupid Snapdragon processors.

I think next year will be the time when I buy a new phone too and I'm also looking to get a pixel. I will devinetively not buy a new one but maybe a refurbished one.

Snapdragons are decent for custom roms, the problem is samsung blocking bl-unlock on US SDM phones.
