Oppo develops its own processor for 2024, Samsung trapped in Exynos
Over the past few months, Samsung reportedly made major changes in its Exynos strategy due to sluggish performance. Then the company created a team in its mobile division to create a tailor-made processor for Galaxy devices, however, Oppo is done with it and the chip may be coming in 2024.
According to trusted source IceUniverse, Oppo developed a tailor-made processor following the footsteps of Google. The tipster claims that Oppo independently developed the custom processor, which will be used in Oppo phones launching in 2024.

Further, the source noted that the Chinese phone maker has a chip development team of thousands of employees, which is likely to continue to develop its own processor. If Oppo gets successful in its plan, local smartphone vendors like Huawei “might” use the custom chipset amid US restrictions.

Notably, Exynos will not be coming in future flagship Galaxy devices starting with the Galaxy S23 series. The next Exynos SoC reportedly exists but it may be used in Fan Edition devices of Samsung. For now, the Korean tech giant only relies on Qualcomm for chipsets.
It’s worth mentioning that Samsung is expected to introduce its own Galaxy-exclusive chipsets in 2024. Ahead of this, the company has established the team under the mobile experience decision, which is responsible for research and development on AP for Galaxy devices along with optimization.
As Oppo reportedly completes the development of its own chipset, it would be interesting to see how it performs in the wild. Since Samsung has a long experience in creating industry-leading chipsets for mobile phones, we guess it will finally compete with Apple’s Bionic chips in the future.
Google has entered the serious game of distributing artificial intelligence features, with the announcement of a lot of features at its developers’ conference on May 10. Besides Bard, Google AI features that are available for early testing can be grabbed on your Samsung Galaxy too. Here’s how:

In the smartphone market, Samsung and Apple are the top priorities that are unquestionably reliable and powerful. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Apple’s iPhone 14 faced tough competition, while the 2024 Samsung Galaxy flagships could beat iPhone 15 in one key area.
Both Galaxy and iPhone flagships equip premium display panels, whereas the software and chipset installation is completely different. While Apple has its own Bionic chipset designing team, Samsung makes its own Exynos along with collaborating with Qualcomm for products like Snapdragon for Galaxy.

Apple released the iPhone 14 Pro Max last year, bringing the most powerful smartphone chipset to the market. However, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy swiftly defeated the most premium iPhone with faster GPU performance than the A16 Bionic.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has 50% faster GPU
This year, Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which will debut the next-gen A-series processor, based on the 3nm process. Meanwhile, reports say that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 offers a GPU that is 50% faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
If the leak is true, the fine-tuned “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy” will have an even faster GPU than the vanilla variant. As the 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy outperformed A16 Bionic, the S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy would leave the A17 and iPhone 15 Pro Max in the dust.
Compared to iOS, high-spec gaming is more popular on Android smartphones, as Apple is pushing gaming content lately. This may save the iPhone maker from being criticized for GPU performance over the 2024 flagships powered by Qualcomm’s third-gen Snapdragon chip.
The US chip designer may unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the end of this year, while Chinese phone makers will start introducing their production sometime in December. The real iPhone 15 competitor will be the Galaxy S24, which Samsung may reveal by February 2024.
Samsung appears to be in trouble in China as the local display panel manufacturer BOE reportedly sued the company and various of its arms over claims of copyright infringement.

According to the input, BOE sued various Samsung firms running in China, including Shanghai Samsung Semiconductor Co., Ltd., Samsung (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Dongguan Samsung Vision Co., Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor (Xi’an) Co., Ltd., Tianjin Samsung Vision Mobile Co., Ltd. and other Samsung-related companies.
The tipster also added that Chongqing Jingdong Jiapin Trading Co., Ltd. is also suing Samsung for infringement of invention patents. With all these kinds of attempts, BOE appears to be putting political pressure on Samsung and its arms to leave the country.
Earlier, Samsung Display filed an OLED panel patent infringement lawsuit against BOE in the US. The company mentioned in the complaint that the US smartphone repair market is using cheap Chinese panels instead of OLED panels containing Samsung Display’s core patented technology when repairing smartphone displays.
