As expected, the next flagship smartphone Samsung series Galaxy will lose the “dual power” in the use of processors. The Korean giant intends to abandon the use of its own Exynos chips in this line and switch completely to Qualcomm products. This is stated by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
This situation will mark a significant change in the company’s approach. Over the years, Samsung has used Snapdragon and Exynos SoCs in its flagship smartphones. Devices shipped in the US were equipped with a Qualcomm processor. On the markets of Europe and Asia, versions based on Samsung’s own Exynos processors went on sale. Often, versions with Qualcomm processors provided higher performance or better battery life. Although the difference in performance was insignificant. In addition, Qualcomm processors tend to provide more stable applications and games as well.
Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Samsung will no longer ignore this situation. He believes the Galaxy S23 may not use Samsung’s 4nm Exynos 2300 processor “because it can’t compete with the SM8550 in every aspect.” Kuo adds that such a decision would further solidify Qualcomm’s dominance in the Android market.
It’s hard to say what this could mean for the future of the Samsung Exynos brand. The company has spent years partnering with AMD to design and build the Exynos 2200 for the Galaxy S22. But this chip ran into many of the same problems as its predecessors. In April, Samsung Mobile president T.M. Ro told employees that the company was working on a chipset that would be “unique” to Samsung smartphones, but did not specify how the component would differ from existing Exynos designs.
