Last month during its fourth-quarter earnings call, Qualcomm essentially confirmed that Galaxy S23 phones will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 globally. All three upcoming phones (S23, S23+ and S22 Ultra) have already gone through Geekbench exclusively with SD 8G2 but The Elect believes that Samsung has not given up on its in-house chipset plans.
For years, Samsung has outsourced its Exynos chipset manufacturing to the Samsung System LSI division, a separate entity from the Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience) division. According to the new report, Samsung is now forming a new chipset/AP development team within the mobile division. The department will be led by executive vice president Choi Won-joon, who joined Samsung in 2016 from Qualcomm.
There have been rumors that Samsung will aim to deliver its first custom chipset exclusive to the Galaxy S series in 2025 with no plans to launch new Exynos flagship chipsets in 2023 and 2024.
