Okay. I use AI for hobbies, like art and getting D&D campaign ideas, so I was waiiting to see what the S24 could bring. Being able to do it locally on my phone would be amazing instead of zipping it off to DALLE or whatever.

I will almost assuredly not be paying for something that should be able to run on the locally on the hardware.

I could be misinformed but that was the whole selling point of Snapdragon 8 gen 3 was its on board NPU, no?

Samsung lost me as a customer when they removed the audio jack and SD card slot - I’m typing this on a S10+ that I’ve loved for years, but my next phone is going to be made by someone else, so they can shove the whole AI crap and yet another damn subscription so deep that it tickles their tonsils from the other side.

Please let there be a flagship-ish foss phone.

Im actually most hopeful in years.

Bring all Fairphones to the US please! We need another option that isn’t shit.
