Supposedly the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 plus will launch in the global market with a new exynos chip. Whilst ONLY the Galaxy s24 Ultra will get the snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
If this is true, then it’s a complete deal breaker as I’m a base version/plus version kinda guy, the ultra is too big for me and I don’t use the S pen. We gave Samsung 3 shots to prove themselves with the exynos chips and all 3 times they failed. I don’t have high hopes for another exynos coming. Even if it has good performance then what about battery efficiency? Cameras? Heat optimization…etc etc.
Why only North America gets snapdragon? Do the rest of the world not deserve the superior chip? Or are we test dummies for Samsung to see what works and what doesn’t and NA is their real target audience?
This is the case by default for the past years, except the S23 I think? The Notes of the past, and now the Ultras, get SD. I get you though.
Am I the only one who remembers when xynos was the choice processor. Definitely wait for benchmarks because the tides could turn on you
“Global” implies everywhere in the world to me. The Exynos 2400 is rumored to be used in for the S24 and S24+ in the European and Asian markets only.
Yeah tried of Samsung and others that put their software on top of Android just another reason out of many I’m going to the real Android device the Pixel 8 Pro…
Google does the exact same thing with the Pixels. Except their software isn’t quite as polished or reliable as OneUI. It’s no longer the Nexus line that used stock Android.
Pixels are stock Android… Samsung,One Plus so forth have their own software on top of Android so Pixels are stick Android and have their own custom chips on the hardware side and their hardware will be even more customized over the next year or so they are the iPhone of Android. One UI is just extra software thrown on top of Android that you have to update and Apps that can not be removed so forth it’s just more things to maintain. It’s Not the pure Android experience it’s just extra bloat that’s installed on the device by the manufacturer just as Oxgeyn so forth. If folks like it great but the pure Android experience is with a Pixel if you want all the other 3rd party things then that’s fine stay with Samsung. But you can never compare the two it’s totally different experiences…
They don’t use stock Android. They use their software on top just as Samsung does with OneUI. Their software just doesn’t have a name: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-needs-to-give-its-android-skin-a-public-name/
The “custom” chip that they use is just a past generation Exynos. Google designs and adds just a tiny chiplet for machine learning and the like. Otherwise it’s basically a Samsung Exynos chip.
Also, a lot of the hardware components in Pixels are pretty poor. For instance, their batteries are sourced from a Chinese OEM that otherwise sells replacement batteries you’d buy at a knock-off market.
Do you know that the Tensor chips found in Pixels are rebranded Exynos?
Right now Samsung makes the chip but Google controls the design and software. Samsung gets their chips like most from other hardware manufacturers. Aliso Google will be moving away from Samsung designing their chips in the next year or so most likely the Pixel 10 so it’s a temporary thing. Also overall it’s how Google does their software compared to others so they will have the software side covered but also they will have their own custom hardware basically like the iPhone of Android.
and this post proves why most people don’t understand what really matters. what really matters isn’t smartphone sales they make jack. samsung’s biggest profits is selling chips and they’re not going to just go qualcomm if they can go exynos. if you really want a SD, just buy a US model. and if its a deal breaker go for another OEM
samsung’s biggest profits is selling chips
That seems like total bullcrap especially when samsung foundry just lost 2 big customers nVidia and qualcomm within the past year
And s24u is not flat screen. Its still curved but very minimal.
Bottomline, u cant put tempered glass again.
I said it can cover the screen fully, not the bezels
Yeah you can. The screen is flat so a glass screen protector would still fully cover it
Can you please provide source or something?
I’ve managed to put tempered glass on both my previous s22u and s23u, albeit they are more pricey because of the UV process.
Yes. Not everyone is comfortable on doing that.
Already seeing the news about how the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted
Comment OP probably meant in the way that he can already see this kind of news will come up.
This
Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.
That’s what “Predicted” means.
Predicted by whom? The same experts that predicted that Trump would retain his presidency?
Lower than predicted. Meaning they predicted a number, and then the real number is lower than that.
But there is no real number. because there is no phone.
Exactly my point. Thank you.
“…the Galaxy S24 SALES ARE LOWER than predicted”
No, open your eyes and read, that’s what SALES ARE LOWER means. With this statement, OP is not saying PREDICTED sales are lower. OP is saying SALES ARE LOWER than predicted, where sales refers to something that is currently occurring or has occurred.
Again: Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.
They meant they can already envision seeing this new in the future. Obviously.
Guess he didn’t frame properly & perhaps meant the Sales are predicted to be lower than earlier models.
Is this sarcasm?
I see only benefits from this. The prices of s23 series will drop and these 2 phones s23 and s23 plus are incredibile. You dont really need the new s24 series… just get the s23 with lower prices
How is that a Benefit? besides that actually means the s23 series won’t drop that much since it’s only competition is an s24 with an exnyos chip. They might even be doing it partly to get rid of surplus stock of s23s
The prices will drop for s23 series. How is this not a benefit?
I’m planning on it. I’m in the market for either a base s23 or s23 plus, maybe I’ll wait until February I’ll see another $100 drop
Seriously, I too got 23+, this Snapdragon is overpowered, you dont need more than it. I doubt S24 will offer much of an upgrade. 23+ should be great for 3 years minimum
Great to know! I’ve been wanting to get this but then I was like maybe I’ll wait for 24+
Yeah I got s23+ and it’s epic. Battery life, power, screen. Can’t complain one bit
Good luck with that. There are deals all year long if you have a trade in. I got my S23U for $249 by trading in an S22U. That was last May. Different deals, some better than others.
nah bro, you can start enjoying it right now.
S24 is basically just AI enabled for pictures and video
dont forget the 5g advanced ready modem and rf suite pertaining to this advancement
That’s why I bought a s23 with black friday.
A lot of posts about this …stop …if is coming with exynos and is not on your likening just dont buy … not a fan but i got a s23 and i am not gona switch soon 😅
samsung has been downgrading for the past years…everything is worse than the previous years. I just got the classic watch 6 and it’s worse than the watch 4.
Really? Was the S23 series worse than the S22 series?
I have the 23 ultra, and it’s not that much better than the 22 ultra i had. So yeah, not backward but stale.
Both exynos and snapdragon SoCs are manufactured by Samsung(except for this latest gen, maybe). I don’t get why people dislike exynos… The difference is so minute, and the “temperature” is only a handful of degrees different in similar use cases. 99.9999% of devices will perform the same.
And battery usage difference is not what it used to be a couple of years ago. Just because some dumb YouTubers say it’s bad because they gotta criticize something, doesn’t mean it’s that bad.
except for this latest gen, maybe
Good job admitting you have no idea what you’re talking about since you’re also wrong about everything else
got the s20u exynos version, and performance, battery is sht, heat issue is always there. very underwhelmed with this unit, also being my 1st ever flagship purchase. never ever wasting my money on an exynos phone
We refuse to pay the same amount of money for an inferior product. If they want to sell us Exynos, they should lower the price in accordance to performance loss over the snapdragon variant. I would not pay the same money for an Exynos version on principle alone, and I don’t take it kindly from Samsung attempting to rip me off.
As mentioned, I would wait to see what actually happens. Some differences are shown only at benchmarks and at very heavy use during artificially high stress situations, not during everyday regular use. And if you really, REALLY have these high stress performance requirements, it’s a good reason to prefer the chip that can offer you the slight edge.
I agree a good standard of the same chip should be set, but this is also a practice by their major competitor (Apple where a very slightly weaker chip is placed in their "regular’ iPhones). Honestly it’s not anywhere near as much of a deal breaker as the web’s herd mentality thinks it is.
“We gave Samsung 3 shots to prove themselves with the exynos chips and all 3 times they failed. I don’t have high hopes for another exynos coming. Even if it has good performance then what about battery efficiency? Cameras? Heat optimization…etc etc.”
Battery efficiency might be slightly (SLIGHTLY) better with Snapdragon but we don’t know that yet. Cameras in terms of hardware are completely independent. In terms of processing, I don’t expect any major difference as the more CPU-demanding tasks will be needed only in the case of the top model (the Ultra). Heat optimization is partly associated with the power consumption of the chip itself and partly with the cooling design of the board which will probably be identical between the same models that will have Exynos or Snapdragon. Again, we will only know when the dust settles.
Cautiously optomistic.
one game enough to put stress
TSMC is developping a new fabrication process for 3nm chips that from what I’ve heard should give a good improvement on efficiency, maybe the newest Snapdragon will have it?
Why are you minimizing the differences like a fanboy? 8 gen 2 slaughters the last exynos released - exynos 2200 - in literally every single test especially battery, heat and modem. We have no idea if the next exynos will improve at all since Google has failed to improve tensor much also made at crappy Samsung fab for the last 3 years
I’m a what? 😆 How old are you?
This is not a rumor, it is confirmed, and if you are on an Exynos region you ll do well to get an S23.
