With theSamsung Galaxy S23set to be released in a little over three weeks' time, the rumour mill is churning out new information on a daily basis. One of the strongest leaks so far is the suggestion of the chip that will power the S23 range, with an overclocked variant of theSnapdragon 8 Gen 2expected to feature inside.
What’s more, the Snapdragon chip is even expected to feature in European handsets, marking a massive upgrade for users there. Previously, European version of theSamsung Galaxyrange – like theSamsung Galaxy S22and theSamsung Galaxy S22 Ultra– was plagued with Samsung’s in-house Exynos chipset.
Those Exynos chips just didn’t stack up. They consistently posted lower benchmark scores than the same handset equipped with a Snapdragon chip, leading to speculation over Samsung’s ability to keep up with other chip manufacturers.
It’s a really unwanted setback for the S23 range. This already looks set to be one of the most competitive markets Samsung have ever released a phone into, with top handsets like theGoogle Pixel 7 Proand theVivo X90 Pro+all looking to fight for the title ofbest Android phone.
If the processor powering the S23 can’t keep up with the pack, it could be time forSamsung Galaxy fans to try a different Android phone.
