Samsung fans were happy that the company finally ditched the controversial Exynos chipsets and sided with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC for all Galaxy S23 models. However, their happiness was short-lived, as rumors began circulating that Samsung was developing a new chipset, the Exynos 2400, which would likely power next year’s flagship lineup. In the latest development, a tipster has revealed the regions where the Exynos Galaxy S24 will be available.

Exynos 2400 Could be the SoC Powering some Galaxy S24 models

Samsung has a history of using both Exynos and Qualcomm chips in its S series models, but until now it was unclear which regions would receive the Exynos-powered Galaxy S24. That has changed with the latest tip from @Tech_Reve, who claims that Samsung may offer the Galaxy S24 with the Exynos 2400 processor in European and Southeast Asian countries. Whereas consumers in America will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-equipped models.

Samsung-Exynos

Qualcomm chips usually offer better performance and efficiency than the Exynos ones, so this news will likely cause mixed emotions among readers. But from what we’ve heard so far, the Exynos 2400 is going to be a promising processor with a 10 cores architecture. It is expected to include one Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.1 GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.9 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores running at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores operating at 1.8 GHz.

It appears highly likely that Samsung will once again utilize Exynos chipsets in the upcoming Galaxy S24. This speculation gained strength following comments made by Hyeokman Kwon, Vice President of the DS Division at Samsung LSI, during the company’s Q1 2023 earnings call. Kwon revealed Samsung’s intention to reintroduce its proprietary Exynos chipset to its flagship smartphones, particularly the Galaxy S series.
