Samsung introduced a major change when it launched the Galaxy S22 series with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in regions (like India) it usually serves the Exynos power. This change will further continue as it has now been confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy S23 series will only be powered by a Snapdragon chipset, thus, ditching the Exynos SoCs.

This change is a result of a multi-year agreement between Samsung and Qualcomm, which will come into effect in 2023. It will be applicable to future Samsung Galaxy premium products, starting with the Galaxy S23 series that will launch in early 2023. It will also be extended to PCs, tablets, extended reality, and more.

This news is expected to be happy for many who always wanted a Galaxy S phone with a Snapdragon chipset, which wasn’t the case in India and many more regions. The phones are expected to be more efficient and performance-centric than the ones with the Exynos SoCs.
