Next Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chipset may be developed by Samsung
Qualcomm is one of the top chipset makers around the world. The processors made by the company use the latest fabrication process to deliver best-in-class performance. Currently, Snapdragon 888 is the latest flagship SoC offering from Qualcomm that is also debuted with Samsung Galaxy S21 series.
However, Qualcomm developed its premium chipsets with the help of TSMC’s (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) fabrication process during 2019-2020. While the Snapdragon 888 is built on Samsung’s 5nm EUV based process technology. So it is expected that the American chipset maker will also follow the same strategy for its next flagship product.

And it is still unconfirmed whether it will use the same 5nm LPE process or any other.
Following its habit, the US chipmaker may launch the latest mobile processor later this year and it may be the Snapdragon 888 Pro or Snapdragon 888 Plus (SM8350 Pro). This new chipset is also expected to be manufactured by the South Korean tech firm.

Samsung is eyeing the Chinese smartphone market to overcome 0% market share. The company has recently launched the Galaxy C55 5G in the country, which is a market-specific lineup.
Counterpoint Research’s recent report revealed that Samsung has a negligible market presence in China. While Huawei flagships are resurging in the country, Samsung come up with a mid-range phone with a different approach.
The Galaxy C55 5G is a rebranded variant of the M55 but features a distinct design. It has a leather back and is available in two vibrant colors, with the presence of some pro-grade features making it stand apart.
The Chinese smartphone market was dominated by Vivo (17.4%), Honor (16.1%), Apple (15.7%), Huawei (15.5%), Oppo (15.3%), and Xiaomi (14.6%) in Q1 2024, as per Counterpoint Research.
Samsung failed to overcome the 0% market share in China since 2018. The company had a 20-30% share until 2013, which started to drop in 2014 due to the emergence of local vendors including Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo.
While Samsung faces a lot of challenges in emerging in the world’s largest smartphone market, Chinese vendors continue to create hurdles for it in the Global market, giving it a double headache.
