According to the latest rumors, Samsung is expected to launch its Galaxy S23 series phones in the first week of February and this could be the year all models launch with the same chipset globally. Rumors about an all-Snapdragon range of Galaxy S23 series phones have been going on for months, and Qualcomm’s latest earnings call almost confirms these rumors to be true.
During their fourth quarter earnings call (transcript in link to source), Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala confirmed expectations for a good second half of March (Q1) 2023, which likely coincides with the first months of sales. of Galaxy S23 series phones. He also confirmed that Qualcomm has gone from a 75% (chipset) share in the Galaxy S22 series to a global share, which means Qualcomm chipsets for all S23 series models.
So, from the perspective of the March quarter, you are right, Samsung’s launch lead for the new phone would typically be in the second half of the March quarter. So it comes towards the end of the quarter, but that will be an advantage as our 75% stake in G S22 rises to the global share in G S23. – Akash Palkhiwala (Qualcomm CFO)
All three Samsung Galaxy S23 series phones (S23, S23 + and S22 Ultra) have already moved from Geekbench exclusively with the alleged Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has confirmed a multi-year partnership with Samsung that will bring the Snapdragon chipset to all premium Samsung Galaxy phones globally.
As for phones, we have entered into a new multi-year agreement with Samsung, expanding the use of Snapdragon platforms for future premium Samsung Galaxy products globally. – Cristiano Renno Amon (CEO Qualcomm)
A report from last month still suggests that an Exynos-powered Galaxy S23 series isn’t out of the question despite the disappointment of Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) division’s internal Exynos chips.
