Supposedly the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 plus will launch in the global market with a new exynos chip. Whilst ONLY the Galaxy s24 Ultra will get the snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

If this is true, then it’s a complete deal breaker as I’m a base version/plus version kinda guy, the ultra is too big for me and I don’t use the S pen. We gave Samsung 3 shots to prove themselves with the exynos chips and all 3 times they failed. I don’t have high hopes for another exynos coming. Even if it has good performance then what about battery efficiency? Cameras? Heat optimization…etc etc.

Why only North America gets snapdragon? Do the rest of the world not deserve the superior chip? Or are we test dummies for Samsung to see what works and what doesn’t and NA is their real target audience?

    If you have a s23 base / plus then there would be no need to upgrade to s24 anyway. If you don’t have one then buy one when the s24 launches at a discounted price. Or wait out the benchmarks of the s24 exynos, miracles do happen sometimes lol

    And s24u is not flat screen. Its still curved but very minimal.

    Bottomline, u cant put tempered glass again.

      Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.

        Guess he didn’t frame properly & perhaps meant the Sales are predicted to be lower than earlier models.

          Lower than predicted. Meaning they predicted a number, and then the real number is lower than that.

          But there is no real number. because there is no phone.

          “…the Galaxy S24 SALES ARE LOWER than predicted”

          No, open your eyes and read, that’s what SALES ARE LOWER means. With this statement, OP is not saying PREDICTED sales are lower. OP is saying SALES ARE LOWER than predicted, where sales refers to something that is currently occurring or has occurred.

          Again: Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.

    and this post proves why most people don’t understand what really matters. what really matters isn’t smartphone sales they make jack. samsung’s biggest profits is selling chips and they’re not going to just go qualcomm if they can go exynos. if you really want a SD, just buy a US model. and if its a deal breaker go for another OEM

      That seems like total bullcrap especially when samsung foundry just lost 2 big customers nVidia and qualcomm within the past year

    I see only benefits from this. The prices of s23 series will drop and these 2 phones s23 and s23 plus are incredibile. You dont really need the new s24 series… just get the s23 with lower prices

      How is that a Benefit? besides that actually means the s23 series won’t drop that much since it’s only competition is an s24 with an exnyos chip. They might even be doing it partly to get rid of surplus stock of s23s

      I’m planning on it. I’m in the market for either a base s23 or s23 plus, maybe I’ll wait until February I’ll see another $100 drop

        Good luck with that. There are deals all year long if you have a trade in. I got my S23U for $249 by trading in an S22U. That was last May. Different deals, some better than others.

        Seriously, I too got 23+, this Snapdragon is overpowered, you dont need more than it. I doubt S24 will offer much of an upgrade. 23+ should be great for 3 years minimum

    samsung has been downgrading for the past years…everything is worse than the previous years. I just got the classic watch 6 and it’s worse than the watch 4.

    As mentioned, I would wait to see what actually happens. Some differences are shown only at benchmarks and at very heavy use during artificially high stress situations, not during everyday regular use. And if you really, REALLY have these high stress performance requirements, it’s a good reason to prefer the chip that can offer you the slight edge.

    I agree a good standard of the same chip should be set, but this is also a practice by their major competitor (Apple where a very slightly weaker chip is placed in their "regular’ iPhones). Honestly it’s not anywhere near as much of a deal breaker as the web’s herd mentality thinks it is.

    “We gave Samsung 3 shots to prove themselves with the exynos chips and all 3 times they failed. I don’t have high hopes for another exynos coming. Even if it has good performance then what about battery efficiency? Cameras? Heat optimization…etc etc.”

    Battery efficiency might be slightly (SLIGHTLY) better with Snapdragon but we don’t know that yet. Cameras in terms of hardware are completely independent. In terms of processing, I don’t expect any major difference as the more CPU-demanding tasks will be needed only in the case of the top model (the Ultra). Heat optimization is partly associated with the power consumption of the chip itself and partly with the cooling design of the board which will probably be identical between the same models that will have Exynos or Snapdragon. Again, we will only know when the dust settles.

      Why are you minimizing the differences like a fanboy? 8 gen 2 slaughters the last exynos released - exynos 2200 - in literally every single test especially battery, heat and modem. We have no idea if the next exynos will improve at all since Google has failed to improve tensor much also made at crappy Samsung fab for the last 3 years

      TSMC is developping a new fabrication process for 3nm chips that from what I’ve heard should give a good improvement on efficiency, maybe the newest Snapdragon will have it?

    Both exynos and snapdragon SoCs are manufactured by Samsung(except for this latest gen, maybe). I don’t get why people dislike exynos… The difference is so minute, and the “temperature” is only a handful of degrees different in similar use cases. 99.9999% of devices will perform the same.

    And battery usage difference is not what it used to be a couple of years ago. Just because some dumb YouTubers say it’s bad because they gotta criticize something, doesn’t mean it’s that bad.

      We refuse to pay the same amount of money for an inferior product. If they want to sell us Exynos, they should lower the price in accordance to performance loss over the snapdragon variant. I would not pay the same money for an Exynos version on principle alone, and I don’t take it kindly from Samsung attempting to rip me off.

    This is not a rumor, it is confirmed, and if you are on an Exynos region you ll do well to get an S23.

    More incentive for people to upgrade to the Ultra. I guess the thinking is people who buy the Ultra probably know more than normal about the specs of it.

    If Samsung put their processor in their top of the line spec-monster smartphone you can imagine the Tech website headlines…but those same sites won’t care if it’s in the base or Plus versions since they’re not aimed at being spec monsters.

    There were leaks on Twitter for the S24 Exynos chip (it was a few months ago, I couldn’t find the source again so it’s more of a “believe me bro”) and apparently it will be, once more, slightly below the Snapdragon

    This is the case by default for the past years, except the S23 I think? The Notes of the past, and now the Ultras, get SD. I get you though.
