Samsung Might be Planning to Stop Using the Exynos Chipsets in the Future: Here’s What We Know
Previous reports stated that Samsung might be planning to stop using its Exynos chipsets in its future smartphones and had also started a new team within the company’s MX division for making new chipsets.
Now a recent tweet on the Twitter platform further confirms that Samsung is really going to stop using the Exynos chipsets. Let’s look into it.
Samsung Planning to Stop Using the Exynos Chipsets
The Mobile Experience or the MX division of Samsung is responsible for the company’s smartphone business and the System LSI is the department that supplies the Exynos chipsets for smartphones.
However, in recent years, the MX division wasn’t happy about how the Exynos chipsets performed when compared to the other chipsets in the market. Samsung had also, in the past, released many of its smartphones with Exynos and Qualcomm chipsets and the users of the Exynos variants have always complained about how the Exynos chipsets underperformed when compared to the other variant.
The variant with the Qualcomm chipsets has however also offered better battery efficiency and battery life with less heating when compared to the brand’s own Exynos chipsets.
A report in Sam Mobile also reported that a new team has been formed within the MX division of Samsung for designing and developing new chipsets which has already confirmed Samsung’s plan to stop using the Exynos chipsets in its smartphones.
We have also seen that the newly launched Galaxy S23 series smartphones have come only with Qualcomm chipsets and don’t have an Exynos variant unlike the Galaxy S22 series smartphones.
Now the official Twitter handle for Samsung’s Exynos chipsets has moved all its operations to the Samsung Semiconductor Twitter account further confirming what has already been decided by the company.
So it is likely that Samsung won’t be launching any future Galaxy smartphones with the Exynos chipset equipped in it in the future.
