I don’t mind the Exynos because with Samsung you get other benefits like OS updates, accessories and service/repairs.
Plus their warranty is normally good and the resale value is good.
Not to mention their Bluetooth earbuds work well with their phones and their watches and tablets.
Another big plus is OneUI which has tons of features and customisation and is updated at least once a year. So you get new android features every year and new UI features.
Plus because of walk in service you can easily replace your battery once a year, making it work like new.
With other devices you don’t get any of this and end up replacing them every 2 years, which is more expensive.
