  • Qualcomm has confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy S23 series will be powered by a Snapdragon processor worldwide.
  • This was revealed by Qualcomm's executives during the company's recent earnings call.
  • Samsung has inked a multiyear partnership with Qualcomm that will see future flagship Galaxy phones use Snapdragon chipsets.

The only markets where the Exynos variant is available are the U.S. and other countries. This seems to be changing in the future.

During a recent investor call, the chief financial officer of the company confirmed that the upcoming models of the Korean company's flagship phone would be powered by the company's chips. The South Korean tech giant may stop using the Exynos processor in future flagship phones. The majority of the S22 models available in the market are powered by the chip.

The president and CEO of the company said that future flagship phones would use the company's chips.

Amon said during the earnings call that the company entered into a new multiyear agreement with the Korean company.

The revelation corroborates a previous claim by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who had speculated that the next generation of the S22 would be powered by the same processor as the current one. This could be the case for succeeding models after the S23 series.

It's not likely that this will affect fans of the flagship devices in the US. This new development sounds promising for consumers who have had to deal with Exynos powered models elsewhere. The slower performance of the Exynos-toting models was one of the gripes users had with them. Dropping the chip completely is a step in the right direction, but it is possible that the chip may still be used in a few markets.

The unlocked version of the S23+ appeared on Geekbench shortly after the partnership was announced. The benchmarking results show that the phone has at least 8 gigabytes of RAM and runs on the latest version of the OS.

There is still no official word on when the next iteration of the best phones in the world will be unveiled.
