As the buildup to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series reaches its crescendo, another confirmation has come for the series. The Galaxy S23 will all feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor ahead of the Exynos chipset. A new leak relating to the release has all but confirmed the switch. The leak also indicates that the chip comes with special branding.

There had been complaints about the power efficiency of Samsung’s Exynos chipsets. Some of the reported complaints were overheating and general poor performance. The new leak confirms an earlier rumor that Samsung was using a special version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23 lineup. Tipster @rquandt provided some leaked images that revealed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip inside the S23 series. The chips also sport the For Galaxy branding, indicating their possibly special status.

Qualcomm is offering for the first time a faster and specialized version of its model. This follows the signing of a multi-year partnership to use Snapdragon chips in Galaxy smartphones. It is expected that the partnership will blossom into other models.

The special SD 8 Gen 2 chip has higher GPU and CPU clock speeds. This assures the improved performance of the chipset. The gaming performance and other Android tasks will be better achieved with the new chipset. The special Snapdragon chipset will generate more heat and it is not clear how Samsung hopes to overcome that. This is because sustained heat generation could be negatively impactful on the performance of the smartphone. We however expect Samsung to have made the necessary optimizations to overcome the problem.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup will be launched on February 1 at a scheduled Galaxy Unpacked event. Samsung is currently accepting pre-reservations for the flagship lineup. The Galaxy S23 is coming with high expectations as a great Android smartphone.

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S23 series has been the subject of many leaks recently. An image showing the hard cases of the three models in the series has been leaked by TechGoing. The Galaxy S23 lineup consists of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. It follows the same trajectory as the Galaxy S22 series, but there are even more similarities.

Previous leaks and rumors around the Galaxy S23 series pointed to a close semblance with the Galaxy S22 lineup. The hard cases of the Galaxy S23 series are similar but the vanilla model has a smaller case while the Ultra sports the largest case. There are two additional cutouts for the Galaxy S23 Ultra to take care of a fourth camera and a laser autofocus unit.

The Galaxy S23 series have also gotten the 3C certification in China fuelling suggestions that it could be released soon. It is also speculated that the S23 lineup could arrive earlier than the S22. A Korean platform had reported that the Galaxy S23 series could be released during the holiday festivities in December. Unlike the S22, the Galaxy S23 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will also come with a monster 200MP camera and will be Samsung’s first phone with a such camera.

There is no official confirmation yet from Samsung on the release of the Galaxy S23 series. Pricing details leaks are also lacking for the Galaxy S23.
