Do you care what chipset is in your phone?

Anonymous
Not applicable

On PCs I'll admit to sticking to Intel CPUs and lately I tend to seek out handsets with one of the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets (though the Samsung J3 I had before the Nokia 5 had an obscure one and I didn't notice a great deal of difference but think I'll be sticking to Snapdragon based phones from now on)

 

Do you care about this when choosing a phone?

Good point @Anonymous
I haven't done much research on chipsets specifically- I do quite a lot of research generally before buying a phone and especially my computer. It's quite difficult to compare because the manufacturers mix and match so I focus on certain things that suit me.
I also read a lot of techy reviews.

I'm not techy enough to understand bench tests/marks and tend to go off recommendations and reviews. I do however look at the chipset and like yourself, I would go with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset if given the choice.

Not particularly.
I look at most of the specs and choose one that ticks the most boxes.
Most of the phones I have had so far have been Qualcomm, but that is just coincidence.

It doesn't particularly bother me what chipset is in a phone.  I look more at the storage and camera capabilities than anything else.

Thanks
