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?
Right now Samsung makes the chip but Google controls the design and software. Samsung gets their chips like most from other hardware manufacturers. Aliso Google will be moving away from Samsung designing their chips in the next year or so most likely the Pixel 10 so it’s a temporary thing. Also overall it’s how Google does their software compared to others so they will have the software side covered but also they will have their own custom hardware basically like the iPhone of Android.
