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.

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.
Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.
The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.
This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.
According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability
The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.
Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.
One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,
- What happened?
- [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
- In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
- What best describes your situation?
- What is on fire?
- Are there weapons involved?
Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
