We could see the Galaxy S24 series powered only by Snapdragon chips, Twitter leaker Connor (opens in a new tab) (via Sam-Mobile (opens in a new tab)) says, just like the Galaxy S23 family.
Older Samsung phones like the Galaxy S22 The range has historically used Samsung-designed Exynos chips outside of the US. But for the S23 series, Samsung went all out on Qualcomm chips, getting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip.
This offers higher than normal clock speeds Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 other recent flagship Android phones are using, giving Galaxy S23 users worldwide the same great performance rather than a US exclusive
The new Snapdragon chip, supposed to be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, will apparently offer a nice performance boost as well as support for faster UFS 4.1 storage. There is some disagreement over the cores of the new chipbut we should see it happen by the end of this year in either October or November.
The first phones to use it are expected to debut in December or January 2024.
The leak only claims that there will be no Exynos Galaxy S24, without mentioning whether Samsung will get another “For Galaxy” edition of the Gen 4 silicon.
We imagine Samsung will continue this partnership if it stays with Qualcomm, given the performance boost it can exploit over its rival. Android phones.
The next Exynos-powered Galaxy S model could arrive in 2025, after Samsung spent the necessary time ensuring its new silicon was up to date. It will allegedly do this by adopting ARM-designed cores rather than using its own designs (via Sam-Mobile (opens in a new tab)), the same designs used for the cores of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
If Samsung can promise that its own chips won’t leave users outside the US with lower performance, we wouldn’t mind ending the current era of unified Snapdragon chips. But having the same chip in the phone all over the world, like virtually every other smartphone, makes a lot more sense than a two-chip system.
With the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus And Galaxy S23 Ultra Just two months, there is a long wait until the Galaxy S24 series is expected.
