The thesis of a modified Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the good care of Samsung resurfaces for the Galaxy S23. The documents suggest that a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 would be planned for the Galaxy.
If until now we poor European consumers were only entitled to a less powerful version of the Samsung Galaxy S with an Exynos chip, while the rest of the world could take advantage of the omnipotence of Snapdragon chips, it seems increasingly clear that those days may be over. . As of February 1, the presentation date of the Samsung Galaxy S23, the Galaxy should go 100% to Snapdragon. Samsung even confirmed it in mid-word.
Last November, a test on Geekbench suggested that Samsung would even benefit from a tweaked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with a maximum clock rate raised to 3.36GHz from the base 3.2GHz.
The thesis is confirmed
A recent article from 9to5Google supports this thesis. The specialized newspaper claims to have been able to consult documents that qualify the Galaxy S23 chip as follows: “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”, where there is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 “for Galaxy”. The advanced frequency of 3.36 GHz by the Geekbench test also seems to be confirmed.
If the information is confirmed at the time of launch, it is not yet known if Samsung plans to highlight this specificity and this name. It would not be the first time that a manufacturer integrates a modified chip at his request. We can cite the OnePlus Nord 2 and its Dimensity 1200 -IA for example.
