Samsung Galaxy S24 series’ Snapdragon chip to feature new core structure, only 64-bit support
Qualcomm has not yet launched the overclocked variant of vanilla Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and we’ve started to hear some early details (such as core structure) of the future Snapdragon chip, which will power the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
According to the leak, Qualcomm has codenamed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as either “Lanai” or “Pineapple.” And the leak further claims that the chip will adopt a new 2+3+2+1 structure, which could be the same for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series’ custom Snapdragon processor.
Qualcomm’s most successful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset features a 1+4+4 core layout. The new cluster comes from the “titanium” cluster that includes two Arm “Hunter” (A7xx) cores. That said, it’s expected that the overall architecture of the next-gen Snapdragon chip could be as follows:
- Two A5xx cores
- Three A7xx cores
- Two A7xx cores
- One “gold+” core
- Adreno 750 GPU @ 770 MHz
- Linux kernel 6.1
It has been revealed that these are new cores from Arm, which could “replace the whole current lineup.” Besides, the new Arm chips probably drop support for 32-bit entirely, going 64-bit only. This follows Google’s way of gradually terminating the 32-bit support on Android.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy?
This year, Qualcomm and Samsung introduced a Galaxy-exclusive Snapdragon processor, as part of their multi-year partnership. The Korean tech giant is bringing the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy”-powered Galaxy S23 series to all regions and markets including Europe.
Compared to the standard variant (via), Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy has an increased primary clock speed from 3.2GHz to 3.36GHz and an increased GPU clock speed from 680MHz to 719MHz. Moreover, the company has further optimized it for the Galaxy S23 series with deep machine learning.
As the company’s dream chipset is in the initial stage, we don’t think it will take any kind of risk by commercializing it with the Galaxy S24 series. Accordingly, there are high chances of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Galaxy processor’s debut, which will power the Galaxy S24.

According a new rumor, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra may get the same quad camera setup as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The company’s plan to install a new varible zoom camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been terminated, resulting in the same design on the rear panel.
Since the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has been maintainging the quad camera installation on Galaxy S Ultra smartphones. The S20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra and the recently released S23 Ultra all equipped with quad camera system.
Earlier, the same source revealed that the South Korean tech giant is considering ditching a 3x telephoto camera in favor of new variable zoom lens. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has already broght a serious upgrade to 200-megapixel lens, therefore, the next yera’s model may remain untouched.

According to the tipster, the display crease of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It was reported that the next foldable phone will be equipped with a new droplet hinge design to vanish the crease visibility.
Meanwhile, the “100% confirmed” leak points out it’s not changing this year. However, there is a probability of changes in the real product as the company is reportedly testing the durability of the device after applying the new hinge alongside the existing U-shaped hinge.
Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
100% confirmed!
Bad news: Galaxy Z Fold5 crease is almost the same as Fold4, so we wonder whether it really uses a water drop hinge.— Angry Cat (@UniverseIce) May 29, 2023
