Samsung is having internal conflicts over whether Exynos should power Galaxy S23 smartphones, a leakster revealed. This information comes two months after Qualcomm almost confirmed that all phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform.
According to Ice universe, the Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience) division is disappointed with the performance of the internal chipset of the Galaxy S22 smartphones. On the other hand, senior executives still want next year’s flagships to be equipped with the Exynos 2300, manufactured by Samsung Semiconductors.
Currently, approximately 70% of Samsung Galaxy S22 phones ship with Exynos 2200. The Korean platform is for devices in Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Africa and the Middle East. The other 30% have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and sell in the Americas, South Korea, China, Japan and India. Southeast Asia gets a mix of both.
Both the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips are based on the 4nm process and while the Samsung platform has a slightly more powerful GPU, the Qualcomm chip’s CPU is slightly faster. Expectations are that the situation will be similar with next-generation chipsets.
