The Samsung Galaxy is 15 years old, and it was excellent. First Android device I felt had decent performance. I think my first one was an Galaxy S III, which would have been 2012.

The Zenphone that's out now uses a Snapdragon. There's probably a good reason for that.

Yes, that there are no smartphone sized Intel Atom processors anymore.

The zenphone 2 performed similarly to much more expensive phones. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9251/the-asus-zenfone-2-review/4

I'm not going to be the person defending intel in 2024, but back in 2015, that atom was competitive.
