Samsung Reportedly Wants To Switch Back To Exynos In Some Regions
The Galaxy S23 FE and S24 series could be upgraded with Exynos chips
The Samsung Unpacked event is fast approaching, and thanks to numerous leaks, we know pretty much everything we need to know about the devices that will be released and what they will contain. It's clear that Samsung is already looking to the future and is currently probably developing the next generation of foldable phones and devices. According to a new report, the next generation of Galaxy flagship phones may not be good news for everyone as Samsung may turn to its Exynos chips in Europe and other regions.
Pocket-lint cites a source as saying that Samsung will bring back the Exynos chipset for its mid-range Galaxy S23 FE, confirming results previously published on Geekbench. It is not known if there will be multiple versions of this phone with different processors or just one with an Exynos chip. Based on the preliminary Geekbench results, the performance of the tested chip will be suitable for the Exynos 2200. The Galaxy S23 FE may go on sale this year, so we can get confirmation on that as soon as possible.
Pocket-lint continues to report that Samsung is also considering a return to Exynos with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series next year in some regions, with Europe being said to be a key market. The publication's analyst doubted the company would make the full switch in Europe, saying it made more sense for Samsung to switch to Exynos in some smaller markets.
Samsung sold its flagship Galaxy S series in two variants, leading to this year's Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S23 series worldwide. In the past, Exynos processors have shown lower performance and quality than flagship Snapdragon chipsets, so Samsung fans and owners have been happy with the full switch to Snapdragon.
A new report sheds light on the dilemma facing Samsung. The company seems to understand that its competitors' processors are often better than its own, and a partnership between the two is set to begin in 2022, putting the future of Exynos in question. However, it still makes sense for Samsung to stay in business to remain independent from third-party manufacturers, and one way to show that the company is confident in the quality of its own processors is to include them in its core lineup.
