Samsung's Exynos SoC has lost a lot of ground to its rival – the Qualcomm, especially in its flagship series Galaxy S
Φyear, only Samsung devices sold in Europe were equipped with it Exynos 2200 SoC, while all other devices sold on other Continents were powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Chief Executive Officer Qualcomm, Cristiano Amon, revealed to us that 75% of Galaxy S22 powered by the Snapdragon SoC, and stated that this figure will increase in the coming year.
This automatically means that his upcoming turn Galaxy S23 will exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, permanently abandoning hers Exynos SoC.
Ο Christian Amon stated that:
The two companies extended their patent licensing agreement to 2030, which covers various 3G, 4G, 5G and (eventually) 6G Appliances.
Is this the end for the Exynos SoC segment?
No, says Samsung, but it needs to be reorganized. In the short term, the company will look to expand the Exynos SoC on other devices, such as wearables. There are also the Exynos SoC belonging to mid-range and entry category, and Samsung will continue to power devices in these categories with its own Exynos SoC.
Although not yet officially confirmed, Samsung has assembled a special team to develop a new chipset for the smartphones. The development of this new SoC will take quite some time to complete, so the next Galaxy S series are expected to exclusively use the Snapdragon SoC until at least 2024. The basic idea behind Samsung is to completely skip improvements to the existing Exynos SoC, and the next two years to focus on developing a completely new chipset that will be designed from the ground up.
Samsung's new foldable Smartphones will exclusively use the Snapdragon SoC, and the same will be true for the upcoming ones Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold 4, which will likely receive the SD 8+ Gen 1 by Qualcomm.
