Samsung’s upcoming releases, the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy S24, have been the subject of numerous reports over the past few months. Speculation suggests that both models will be equipped with Exynos chipsets instead of Snapdragon SoCs.
The Geekbench listing for the Galaxy S23 FE earlier this month disclosed the presence of the Exynos 2200 chipset, further fueling these rumors. Additionally, there have been several reports indicating that Samsung may introduce an Exynos 2400 version of the Galaxy S24 for specific regions.
A fresh report from Pocket-Lint confirms the existence of Exynos-powered variants for both the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy S24. It is expected that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S23 FE later this year, boasting an Exynos chipset.
However, it’s worth noting that the Geekbench data also showed a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC for the Galaxy S23 FE, suggesting that Samsung might consider launching a Snapdragon version for certain countries, with the United States being the likely candidate for this variant.
Meanwhile, the Snapdragon-powered variant of the Galaxy S24 is likely to be exclusive to the US market. Other regions can anticipate the Exynos-powered version of the device.
According to the same report, the Galaxy S24 is scheduled for release in February 2024 and will indeed come equipped with an Exynos SoC.
However, the Exynos variant will see its release limited to Europe, aligning with previous speculations. In contrast, Samsung will most likely offer the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra in the US with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Similarly, Asian markets, including India, might receive the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24.
Samsung enthusiasts in European and Asian countries have expressed their dissatisfaction with previous Exynos chipsets, which failed to match the performance of their Snapdragon counterparts.
With the Galaxy S24 on the horizon, these consumers are hoping that the Exynos 2400 will overcome known issues like overheating, performance throttling, inefficient modems, and battery drain problems. A successful resolution of these concerns would undoubtedly boost the appeal of the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24 in these markets.
