I feel like Qualcomm is the only company that actually knows how to make a mobile SoC

Mediatek phones are just so easy to brick when you try to root them. Theres no proper custom ROM support for it and Gcam is poorly optimized to the point where you just want to use the stock camera app. Also developers just can't make properly optimized apps for anything that isn't Snapdragon. Look up the Redmi Note 8 Pro trying to emulate Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy and you'll notice that even though it beats the 730 and 835 in Antutu it will perform like a 670 on the dolphin emulator.

The situation is even worse with Kirin, Apple and Exynos, since they are both locked to a single manufacturer (with rare exceptions). This is why benchmark scores are useless in real life, this is the stuff they don't tell you. Like it or not qualcomm is still the gold standard among mobile processors

I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
