Samsung flagships with Exynos processors may return soon
The Snapdragon exclusivity of Samsung‘s Galaxy S flagships may be ending after just one year. Next year’s Galaxy S24 series may use an Exynos chipset in some markets. Samsung will also launch the Galaxy S23 FE, which is expected to debut a few months later, in Exynos and Snapdragon variants.
For the past several years, Samsung shipped its flagship phones with either an Exynos or Snapdragon processor depending on your region. Usually, the US and China got Snapdragon and the rest of the world got the company’s in-house Exynos chip. The latter group of users wasn’t happy with this split as Exynos versions always underperformed their Snapdragon counterparts.
After relentless complaints for years, Samsung finally ditched Exynos and went all in with Snapdragon last year. The Galaxy S23 series is powered by an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 globally. However, rumors are that the company will go back to Exynos as early as next year. A Samsung executive hinted in April that the Galaxy S24 series could ship with an in-house processor.
Another report has now reiterated this possibility. Citing a reliable source, Pocket-lint reports that Samsung is considering returning to Exynos for the Galaxy S24 series. Previous rumors suggested that the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24 may launch in Europe and Southeast Asia. However, some industry experts believe the Korean firm may not take this risk of shipping the Exynos version in major markets like Europe.
“I’d be surprised if Samsung decided to return to Exynos for the important European market, but we might see it in some smaller markets to ensure Samsung’s in-house platform stays in the game,” said Ben Wood, Chief Analyst and CMO of CCS Insight. “There’s also likely an element of Samsung wanting to keep Qualcomm on its toes too, which may be what is driving these recent rumors.”
Samsung will use the Exynos 2200 in the Galaxy S23 FE in some regions
Ahead of Galaxy S24, Samsung has one more Galaxy S model lined up for launch. The company is readying the Galaxy S23 FE with plans to debut it later this year. It’s developing Exynos and Snapdragon variants of the new Fan Edition (FE) phone. The device will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the US and Exynos 2200 in other regions. We might hear more about this phone following the Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday. Samsung will launch new foldables, tablets, and smartwatches at the event tomorrow.
