Samsung Electronics has confirmed its plans to reintroduce its in-house Exynos chipset to its flagship lineup of smartphones, specifically the Galaxy S series. The announcement was made during the company’s Q1 2023 earnings call by Hyeokman Kwon, Vice President of the DS Division at Samsung LSI, who stated that they are “pushing for the return of Exynos to the flagship of the Galaxy series.”

While Kwon did not explicitly mention the Galaxy S24 lineup, it is widely known that Samsung introduces new chipsets to its flagship Galaxy S lineup rather than the Galaxy Z series.

Kwon also did not specify which Exynos chipset Samsung is planning to use, it is believed that the Exynos 2400 chipset is the most likely candidate since it is the only high-end chipset under development by the company. However, there are rumors that Samsung may use Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra variants while using the Exynos 2400 only in the standard Galaxy S24 model.

While this may come as a disappointment for Samsung fans in Europe and Asia, who have experienced issues with the Exynos SoC in the past. However, if the Exynos 2400 fails to live up to expectations, users in these regions can always opt for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in the higher-end models of the Galaxy S24 lineup.

Samsung’s move to use the Exynos SoC in its flagship lineup again could be seen as a strategic move to lessen the brand’s reliance on Qualcomm, which currently dominates the high-end smartphone chipset market. This also allows Samsung to showcase the performance of its in-house chipsets and potentially gain more market share in the long run.

It remains to be seen whether the Exynos 2400 SoC can meet the expectations of consumers, but it is undoubtedly a step forward for Samsung’s chip-making division.
