When asked about the renewal of chip supply deal with Samsung, Qualcomm’s CEO stated that the chips are already being supplied to the South Korean tech giant. He further CEO Cristiano Amon further added that “And what I can say at this point is we were 75% on Galaxy S22 before the agreement. You should be thinking about we’re going to be much better than that on Galaxy S23 and beyond.”
Notably, this chip deal is a 7 year extension and will also include processors that are outside of Galaxy smartphones like “Galaxy books, Windows PCs, Galaxy tablets, future extended reality devices and other devices.” Amon said that this is “a very significant agreement, very excited and really the companies are much closer together.” In other words, its a multiyear agreement signed by both parties and we can also expect it to include 6G components as well in the future.
