In recent years, you may have grown increasingly disappointed with Samsung’s decision to use its own, arguably inferior, Exynos SoCs in Europe in its flagship devices instead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragons. If so, then you were no doubt happy to hear, direct from Qualcomm, that there will be no more Exynos in the Galaxy S23 family next year, anywhere in the world – it’s all Snapdragon everywhere.
Adding to the excitement today is the famous leakster Ice universewhich reveals that Samsung will be using an exclusive high-frequency version of the just-announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for the Galaxy S23 family in Europe, outperforming all of its competitors in the process.
Break!
The best time for European users has arrived.

Ice universe has released the results of an alleged benchmark run from Geekbench 5, showing that the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra (model number SM-S918B) achieves a single-core score of 1,504 and a multi-core score of 4,580, obviously running Android 13 Those scores are slightly lower than what we’ve seen before. The prototype that was tested had 8GB of RAM.
The Cortex-X3-based Kryo Prime core runs at 3.36GHz, compared to 3.2GHz for the non-Samsung version of the SoC, although the frequencies of the other seven cores haven’t changed. It’s unclear how much of a difference it will make in real-life usage scenarios, but it will definitely be a nice thing for Samsung to brag about.
