Samsung and Qualcomm have entered into a partnership for Samsung’s future smartphone lineup. The companies have been known to partner in the past, for instance, when Samsung was the smartphone partner for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Pro Series. This time around, the upcoming Galaxy S23 series will feature a unique chipset officially named “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”.

The chipset may have a lengthy name, but Samsung has created a more simplified way to remind consumers of the special chipset powering their new flagships, which is the new, modified Snapdragon logo. It will be featured in promotional materials. Consumers can expect to see this logo prominently displayed on billboards and throughout the web starting next week, as Samsung’s Galaxy S23 lineup will be officially unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked Event on February 1. The chipset will be exclusive to Samsung, at least at launch, and details about the agreement with Qualcomm are currently unclear.
The specifications of the Galaxy S23 lineup have already been leaked. For starters, the base model Galaxy S23 has a 6.1-inch FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy S23+ has a larger 6.6-inch screen, but the same display specifications as the Galaxy S23. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.8-inch QHD+ (3,088 x 1,440) AMOLED screen and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The phones have top-of-the-line specifications and camera setups. The “Snapdragon for Galaxy” designation is expected to continue with the Galaxy S24 series as well. Still, it’s possible that Samsung may switch to using its in-house chipset in the future.
