Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

That’s not what I’ve heard for Exynos. I heard exynos was too hot, too underpowered, and the snapdragon variant was better. Now I’m not here to debate, but is very interesting how we’ve heard two different sides to the story.
I used an Exynos S8 up to December of last year and it’s still blazingly fast. And the consensus on xdaforums seems to be that the Qualcomm variant from the US is terrible. :) Weird, but maybe I’m wrong and I just got used to a slow device. I mean, I had a Sony Xperia XA2 before and that thing was so slow, everything else felt like The Flash. :D
I believe all phones are fast enough for our usage (at least in the beginning), but I’m not here to disagree. There have been some instances where the Snapdragon variants have been awful (the 810/808 come to mind), but I’ve heard more stuff about the exynos than I have the snapdragon. Just searching about “exynos worse than snapdragon,” autocomplete in my web search had an option to change it to “why is exynos so bad.” Although it is about the experience more than the reports online, and I’m not disagreeing with you as you’ve personally used the exynos chip(s).
