Samsung MX reportedly approves Exynos 2400 for Galaxy S24
Looks like, the Exynos chipset is returning to Samsung’s flagship smartphone lineup next year. Rumors continue to appear on the internet, claiming that Samsung will be bringing back the Exynos 2400 processor with the Galaxy S24 series and MX Division has given greenlit.
Tipster @Tech_Reve said that Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience) approved the Exynos 2400 chip’s mass production and it would debut with the Galaxy S24 lineup. With just a single year of halt, the company is returning to its multi-chipset strategy.
Exynos 2400
Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2400 AP appears to be featuring a new RDNA2-based graphics chip, which boasts 6WGP. As per the info, “WGP” stands for “Workgroup Processor,” and, one WGP consists of two CUs (compute units) in layman’s terms.
About two months back, a reliable Samsung leaker claimed that the Exynos 2400 chipset’s specs include a four-cluster 10-core design, including 1x Cortex-X4 + 2x Cortex-A720 (high frequency) + 3x Cortex-A720 (low frequency) + 4x Cortex-A520.
Moreover, a recent report revealed that the South Korean tech giant is working to lessen the power consumption of the Exynos 2400 processor, and thermal issues are also said to be fixed. Everything shows the Galaxy S24 line would be powered by Samsung’s own-made SoC.
Snapdragon for Galaxy?
Last year, Samsung and Qualcomm reached a multi-year partnership to bring Snapdragon chipsets to Galaxy devices. The S23 series is equipped with a fine-tuned variant of the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and it could be continued further.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset is breaking performance records in the Android smartphone market. Especially for the Galaxy S23 series, Qualcomm brought overclocked CPU (3.36Ghz) and GPU to the “for Galaxy” variant for better performance and efficiency.
Europe could be the test field?
Last year, Samsung expanded the Snapdragon-based Galaxy S22 smartphones to more markets, compared to its conventional strategy. The proportion of Snapdragon reached 75 percent in the S22 lineup and Qualcomm became the sole supplier for the S23 lineup.
As the Exynos chipset is coming back to S flagships, the company may ship Exynos 2400 variants in Europe region or some markets. It’s going to be a bold move as the lineup may face sort of sales just because of the issue-pack reputation of Exynos.
Google launched the Pixel 9 series earlier than the usual Pixel flagship launch timeline. The Android 16 is also reportedly coming earlier than we’d expect, and the latest report says Google could launch Pixel 9a in the first quarter of the next year.
According to AndroidHeadlines, Google Pixel 9a could be announced by mid-March 2025. Multiple sources citing the outlet confirmed that the next affordable Pixel will go on sale before the end of March 2025.
It seems Google is preparing to bring its Galaxy S24 FE rival around the 2025 iPhone SE debut. Samsung has recently launched the new FE smartphone, while Apple is said to announce the next-generation iPhone SE early next year.
Recently, the CAD renders of Pixel 9a smartphone have been revealed. The images showcased Google’s design decisions. The next A series Pixel could not get bumped camera bar shown in the Pixel 9 series flagships.
Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.
The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.
The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.
The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.
“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.
It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.
Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.
Samsung has recently launched its new premium Galaxy S series tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. These Galaxy Tab S10 tablets come with some stunning wallpapers that are now available for download.
