Samsung\’s Galaxy S24 flagship series could launch with an Exynos chipset: report

Exynos 2400 SoC to debut in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 series

According to a new report from Pocket-Lint, Samsung is planning to launch Exynos-powered models starting with the Galaxy S23 FE. However, Samsung has not clarified whether a Snapdragon model will remain on the cards. On the Galaxy S23 FE, Samsung is expected to debut the Exynos 2200 SoC.

That said, early reports also suggest that the Exynos 2400 SoC expected on the S24 series could have Apple M2 rivalling performance. Samsung could be strongly considering the fitment of the more powerful Exynos 2400 SoC on its upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 flagship series. This decision could mean a shift from the Snapdragon-only strategy that the Korean smartphone maker had adopted with the outgoing S22 series. 

While it is unknown if Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets are completely off the cards, Samsung is said to be considering the Exynos-powered S24 models for some select markets at least. However, the success of such a course depends heavily on the quality of this new chipset, as enthusiasts and critics in the past have not been fond of this line of SoCs. That said, so far, leaked details of the upcoming Exynos 2400 SoC seem to be promising. 

The Exynos 2400 SoC is said to be more capable when it comes to graphics and has four times the number of Xclipse 920 compute cores as found on the Exynos 2200 SoC. This should make it significantly better on the graphics front when it comes to GPU performance. Very early benchmarks of the chipset also show similar performance as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in single-core performance while multi-core performance could see about a 20 percent increment. Some reports also indicate that this new chipset could be almost as powerful as Apple tried and tested the M2 chipset. 

Concrete decisions on the fate of this new chipset, Samsung’s alliance with Qualcomm and markets of sale can be expected in the coming months.
