If MediaTek is good enough for tablets, why not flagship smartphones too?. We’re still months out from the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, but rumors are already swirling (as they do) about what the phone will look like. One contentious area of discussion, as ever, is the chipset debate. Exynos vs Snapdragon might be put on ice next generation, as the rumor mill can’t its their mind up whether Samsung will go all-in on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or manage to manufacture sufficient in-house Exynos 2500s to ship both.

Would a MediaTek-powered Galaxy S25 really be such a bad thing?

Android updates are one of the most inconsistent things about being an Android phone user. It’s gotten better over the years, and generally, if you’re a Google Pixel or Samsung flagship owner, you can usually count on getting the latest updates at reasonable speed. The story is a little different if you own a phone in the midrange or budget lineup with an older chipset, let alone one that’s running on an Exynos or MediaTek processor. In that case, you might count on getting one or two big updates if you’re lucky, and probably not anything beyond that except maybe security updates.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
