Samsung recently announced its latest flagship foldable smartphones in the market, dubbed Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Now, the company is focusing on the next generation of Galaxt=y S-series phones
It is being reported that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series smartphones will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and this time, the company will be focusing on battery efficiency.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1p processor, which is currently found in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, and its upgraded version named Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, are powerful processors, but they are also power-hungry and generate a bit of heat. So, for the next-generation chips, Qualcomm will reportedly focus on battery consumption.
Based on the information available so far, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, codenamed Kailua, carries model number SM8550 and will be manufactured by TSMC using its second-generation 4nm process.
The chipset will reportedly come with one fast Cortex-X3 core that provides a 25% performance boost over the X1 found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 models, as well as two Cortex-A715, two Cortex-A710, and three Cortex-A510.
A few months ago, it was revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 efficiency tests are going well, and the chip has performed better than its direct predecessors. The new chip is likely to be announced in November or December this year, and the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be officially launched in early 2023.
