Galaxy flagships will only use Snapdragon until Samsung’s dream chip gets ready
Samsung collaborated with Qualcomm to bring the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S23 series globally. At the same time, the company is working on the development of its dream chipset optimized for Galaxy devices. Until it gets ready, Galaxy flagships may only use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip.
According to Daum Money, Qualcomm will supply the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets for the Galaxy S23 series smartphones to Samsung. The Snapdragon chip for Galaxy S23 is different from the standard version with higher CPU and GPU clock speeds.

Until the Galaxy S22 series, the South Korean tech giant managed to use Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets in the Galaxy S series country/region-wise. Due to low performance and heating concerns, the company used just 25% of Exynos SoCs in the Galaxy S22 series.

This year, Samsung is solely using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in the Galaxy S23 series smartphones. Since the development of Samsung’s dream chipset won’t complete in a short time period, it’s expected that the Galaxy S24 series will also follow the current chip strategy.
Inside its roof, Samsung Electronics is working hard to retain consumers’ trust in the Galaxy smartphone lineup, which slumped due to S22’s throttling issues. The company is making major organizational structure changes to improve its performance and create a Galaxy-exclusive chip.
Our take
Samsung should further expand its partnership with Qualcomm and MediaTek to get chipsets for Galaxy devices. Since TSMC’s foundry is producing chipsets with great performance and efficiency, Samsung must take inspiration from that instead of lowering just nm (process tech).
The company will surely get success in its dream chip development, but we suggest it use first in mid-range smartphones such as the Galaxy A5x instead of Galaxy S25. Samsung should also add talented chip field R&D workers to boost up the development process!
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone in August or September this year. This information is arriving from a trusted German blog – winfuture.de, which has a solid track record of Samsung leaks.
According to the information, Samsung started testing Galaxy S23 FE prototypes at the end of April. Usually, phone makers begin this procedure about three months before the market unveiling of the product.

The Galaxy S23 FE carries the model number SM-S711, while its internal codename is R11. The primary camera is getting upgraded to a 50-megapixel sensor, while other sensors may remain the same as the Galaxy S21 FE.
Earlier, it was reported that the Galaxy S23 FE will be equipped with Exynos 2200 processor. It’s the same processor, which Samsung used in European models of the Galaxy S22 series.
Another rumor claims that the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 may be used in the company’s next-gen affordable Galaxy S phone. It will help Samsung maintain the price point and offer decent performance alongside.

Samsung is the only Android vendor, which shares almost every new flagship feature with older models through firmware updates. So far, the company rolled out a lot of new Galaxy S23 features to Galaxy S22, S21, and even the S20 series while enhanced camera animation is coming too.
According to the latest info, Samsung will roll out enhanced camera zoom animation from the Galaxy S23 smartphones to the Galaxy S22 series. As of now, there’s no such information regarding the distribution, however, it could happen in the near future.

Samsung community moderator and in-charge of Camera operations confirmed that the Galaxy S23 will be supported for Galaxy S23’s smooth camera zoom animation. Before the rollout, the company will notify users about the schedule through a community post.
In particular, the Galaxy S Ultra models are equipped with quad camera sensors, which the phone uses as per zoom adjustments. In the latest S23 Ultra, the sensor-shift animation is way too smooth compared to its predecessors, which will be coming to the S22 series, at least.

It looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S series is the victim of the terrible green and/or pink lines issue. Consumers of Galaxy S20 Plus are already facing the problem and now it’s popping up on its predecessor. Following the May update installation, some Galaxy S21 users reported green/pink lines problems.
According to user reports, their Galaxy S21 series smartphones have also become the victim of the green/pink lines issue, which appeared on the Galaxy S20 lineup. And even those annoying display lines have appeared without any kind of drop or external damage/water insertion.

Samsung released the Galaxy S21 in early 2021, and the lineup has completed two years of launch at this point. As the devices got out of warranty, it becomes a pricey concern to get the screen replaced, as it could cost approx $300 in the United States.
Consumers say that they first noticed a single colored line on the screen, which further expanded with the second colored line. As Samsung consumers are aware of the display problem, they are not making efforts to solve it through a firmware update, as it’s not a solution at all.
The Galaxy S21 series models are quite expensive and Samsung should acknowledge the problem. A free screen replacement program should be opened for Galaxy users where they can reach and get their phones checked. If found it manufacturer defect, the screen should be replaced free of cost.
