Why does Samsung do this? Why are they giving majority of the market an inferior version of their phone for the same price? They can't get enough Snapdragons? R&D?

@matrix i would say it's because of qualcomm. They aren't the nicest company ever and they do some shady bullshit similar to microsoft back in the day. They might have pressured samsung to downgrade their own chips to not to compete with snapdragon

@hj It's possible, but if that's the case why don't they drop Qualcomm and only use their own chips unprincipled?
