A few days ago, Qualcomm held their keynote of their latest release of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.

This video summarises the main upgrades...

Currently the most powerful chip on the market. Honestly not a huge difference from my perspective. The 8 Elite and A19 Pro are near equal with the A9 Pro only beating it out in single core

I think the ZFOLD7 chipset has won me over, but i do feel it is a loss for the customer, due to every 9 mths or so new devices, leaving us with FoMo and also Manufacturers saying you can't now have this and then due to the hardware.

100% agree. The offer of 7 years, but to be honest most of us 'techies' barely go 6 months without upgrading. Fomo kicks in.

One day I might be content with the phone i have... perhaps that day may be the fold 7. 🤔

I still have an s25 ultra to offload that sits in my drawer. But I am not going to compete with these suspect sale posts on fleabay. My s25 ultra 1TB was 1549 retail... and whilst it will most likely be half of that back, I want it to go to a good person. I may even rather give it away to my daughter than to sell it for less than its worth to some random.

Yeah still sitting on a S7+, ZFOLD6, ZFLIP5, but sold my spare beloved Book2 Pro 5G on fleabay, just hoping its not another scammer like i had selling a ZFOLD4.

We need another post asking the mods if we can have a classifieds section.
