Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy

This Galaxy S23-exclusive Snapdragon chipset could bring largely the same feature set as the chip being used in other Android phones such as Xiaomi 13, and OnePlus 11. In order to enhance performance, Samsung may have further optimized the software with this new chipset.

Ditching the Exynos, Samsung’s going to ship all Galaxy S23 models with Qualcomm-made chipset this year! It’s not big news for all, but, nothing can be bigger than this for our readers of European countries. Europe always got the Exynos version of S flagships, which is ending after all.

Compared to Samsung’s own-made chipset, Snapdragon AP always performed well on Galaxy smartphones. More specifically, the overclocked (Plus) versions of the Snapdragon chip manufactured by TSMC are always praised for better performance and efficiency.
