Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S23 will only get version with Snapdragon soc

The Samsung Galaxy S23 may be equipped worldwide with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 soc and will not have its own Exynos processor. The South Korean manufacturer usually uses the Exynos version in, among other things, European versions of devices in the S series.

The well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expected that Qualcomm is likely to become the sole processor supplier for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23. The Exynos 2300 made by Samsung may not be able to compete with the Snapdragon equivalent. According to WinFuture journalist Roland Quandt the Exynos 2300 was still under development at the end of May.

Seventy percent of Galaxy S22 models uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The other thirty percent has the Exynos 2200 with AMD’s Xclipse 920 GPU. The next-generation Snapdragon soc may use TSMC’s 4nm process.

Due to delivery problems, the Exynos version of the device was delivered in fewer countries than the year before, namely only in the European Union. In Asia and the United States, the S22 was equipped with the Qualcomm soc.
