The end of an era could be marked by the next iteration of the GALAXY S series. The company is likely to use a single-sourced processor for its next flagship. It would be a big departure for the company. In its flagship phones, the company has used both the Exynos and the sds.

The model you get depends on where you live. In the US, the only phones that come with Qualcomm chips are the ones in the Note series. In the past, the Exynos variant of the phone has provided better battery life than the company's in-house chips. When it comes to games and apps, the more stable the processor, the better.

Reality has become too difficult for the company to ignore. He said that S23 may not adopt Exynos 2300 because it can't compete with SM8550. The decision would cement the dominance of the company.

It is not clear what the future holds for the Exynos brand. Many of the same issues that affected its predecessors were present in the Exynos 2200, which was designed and created by the company. According to reports, the president of the company told employees in April that the company was working on a new component that would be different from the company's existing designs, but didn't say how that component would be different from the company's existing designs.
