    Devs please stop making apps big, CPU/RAM heavy. Apps like Facebook/Instagram should be shamed they are 1GB each.

    Facebook and instagram don’t care. They have grown complacent. People will use their apps regardless of how much battery it will use. Are you willing to stop using bloated apps until they improve?

    Phone/SoC reviews are a scam, they say SD 363 is 50% better than SD 625. I don’t think it is a very big leak from SD625 to 7s Gen 2.

    7s gen 2 was released in 2023. The cortex A78 cores used were launched in 2020. They are old plus the soc was not that powerful to begin with. If you want to run battery hogs like instagram and facebook be ready to sacrifice performance and battery.

    I think I am going to boycott high tier phones.

    You should instead buy a good upper midrange or high end phone once and upgrade only after the current phone stops receiving updates. Smartphones have become very mature and don’t bring ground breaking changes any more.
