I think it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon SM7225.
It's not really about better, it's more knowing what I'm getting. It's not their fault that Qualcomm's support is only 3 years (at the time) or that it takes them 10 months to develop support for the chosen SoC which eats into part of that 3 years. Still, I got the phone thinking I would have a reasonably secure device for 4-5 years which wasn't entirely accurate.
I love the idea and, if you're willing to sacrifice some security for sustainability, that's great. I just want people to know what they're getting into because I didn't.
