Galaxy S23 might drop the Exynos chipset altogether

Famous tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Samsung will not use its in-house Exynos chipset on the upcoming Galaxy S23 series.

Kuo suggests that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chipset has an obvious advantage in terms of power and efficiency when compared to the competing Exynos variant, which has prompted Samsung to drop the latter altogether.

Depending on where you live, the Galaxy S line is currently powered by either a Snapdragon chipset or an Exynos chipset.

However, Exynos models have always been criticised for their inferior performance when compared to Snapdragon variants.

Samsung has traditionally always launched Exynos-powered flagships in India, however, that changed this year with the Galaxy S22 series since Samsung launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen1-powered version this time around.

It looks like the company is entirely giving up on Exynos flagship SoCs in 2023.
