The latest Galaxy S24 leak shows that Samsung is bringing some significant changes to its flagship phone. However, new information supports fears that the company will introduce one of the most controversial changes to the Galaxy S family.
Multiple leaks indicate that Samsung will offer a combination of Snapdragon and Exynos chips in its lineup. Since Exynos chips are more efficient but offer lower performance, many Samsung fans have no choice but to buy a phone powered by a smaller system chip.
Unlike last year, the Galaxy S23 family runs exclusively on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. This option will be welcomed by communities used to separate wallets - a problem exacerbated by the fact that each region has an exclusive option, so there isn't. There is no opportunity to pay more for silicone alternatives.
With the launch of the Exynos 2400 last month, Samsung is expected to use its own silicon in some parts of the Galaxy S24 hardware. This approach was quietly confirmed by Qualcomm.
During Qualcomm's earnings call, CEO Cristiano Amon announced that the company will take the majority of market share for Galaxy S24 devices. With the Galaxy S23 100 percent owned by Qualcomm in 2023, it's clear that Samsung will once again deliver its phones on silicon.
There is good news for those who want ultimate power. The high-end Galaxy S24 Ultra will only be available with Qualcomm's latest chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The powerhouse shopping community can rest assured knowing that the S24 Ultra comes with the chip of their choice.
With the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+, we are waiting to see which option will be offered between the two.
Samsung recently certified the S Pen stylus, bringing back several key features to the Galaxy S4 Ultra. The S24 family is also expected to be the first Samsung phone to ship with satellite communications as standard.
In recent years, Samsung has released their new Galaxy S phones a week before Mobile World Congress in February. 2024 could be different, with many discussions looking at a mid-January release date for the latest flagship phone.
