I'm pretty sure they know. And there's only so much that can be done with a Snapdragon 660/665 in 2024 - and it's still one of the only SoC options available at a reasonable price in 'low quantities'. Modern Android on such a chip is a miserable experience. -

The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is better artwork handling with Opus files. I embed my artwork and the M1S displays none of it with Opus files.- Centauri
