Next-gen Samsung Galaxy S23 flagship may come with Qualcomm chips in all markets: Analyst

Last Update: 11 July 2022, 16:15 IST

The Galaxy S23 series is expected to launch in early 2023.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will replace the Galaxy S23 series next year.

South Korean tech giant Samsung is likely to single-source processors for its Galaxy S23 series flagships from US-based chipmaker Qualcomm. According to noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Qualcomm will likely be the sole supplier of the chipset (model number SM8550) for the Galaxy S23 series. “The S23 cannot adopt the Exynos 2300 made by Samsung 4nm as it cannot compete with the SM8550 in all aspects,” the analyst wrote on the forum.

“The SM8550 is optimized for TSMC’s design rule, so it has a clear advantage over the SM8450/SM8475 in computing power and power efficiency,” Kuo said. A recent report states that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will not come with under-display camera (UDC) technology, which also means that users may have to wait until the Galaxy S24 for the UDC technology. The report didn’t reveal the exact reason why Samsung is holding off on offering an under-display camera on its upcoming flagship S-series.

The technology is available on a handful of smartphones these days including the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, ZTE Axon 30 5G, and Galaxy Z Fold 3. Another report states that the Galaxy S23 series will come with an upgraded 12MP selfie camera.
