"The analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that Qualcomm will likely be the sole processor supplier for Samsung this year. It means that this year, there will probably be only the Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S23 models," IANS report

The Snapdragon-powered models were higher and had around 70 percent shipment proportion. Now, as per the analyst, thanks to TSMC’s 4nm fabrication, Samsung may opt for a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for the Galaxy S23.

Kuo said that the Exynos 2300 cannot compete with SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), as the SM8550 is more optimized and efficient. If this happens, Qualcomm will up its SM8550’s market share in 2023, hence benefiting both Qualcomm and TSMC.

The analyst also revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or SM8550 will offer more computing power than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. That said, we are looking at a powerful and efficient chip when considering Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

Samsung is yet to confirm whether it will use Qualcomm chips entirely for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series. But earlier this year, Samsung Mobile’s President TM Roh confirmed that the company will try to use unique processors for Galaxy phones. Now, we aren’t sure whether that testimony was for the Galaxy S23 flagships.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will likely launch in Q1 2023. Some of the early details reveal that the Galaxy S23 will come with a 200MP Samsung HM1 ISOCELL sensors, IANS report said.
