Samsung reportedly bought up almost all available Snapdragon 845 chips

21 August 2017
For use in the Galaxy S9, of course. But where does that leave other makers?

      With Nokia back again I think they are scared
      This was not the case until S7 edge
      But now Nokia around they don't want to leave any opportunity available

I wouldn't buy a phone with hello in this time if it isn't a bargain.

            Unfair to other phone manufacturers. Samsung makes it's own chips they are not playing fair

              BS news. Snapdragon doesn't want this situation in 2018 because it looses trust as reliable supplier and gives trouble to partners which can't release flagship models with latest hardware. What is why TSMC will manufacture 845 and it will be available to all the partners.

                I guess this would be a opportunity for MediaTek to push Helio x30 (and the Helio x35) to other brands. Yes they might be as powerful as the Quallcom chip, but they are a lot cheaper as I understand it. And have enough power for flagship devices.

                      Ha ha ha....

                        Isn't this Qualcomm's fault rather than Samsung?
                        I mean, they bought what they needed. It should be Qualcomm's responsibility to regulate market. It's like barking up the wrong tree.
