    Anonymous, 17 Nov 2022It will be the start of Samsung's downfall. No exynos ... morePlease for love of man kind tell me what does Exynos do good?

    Its peak performance is worse, it uses more power, it heats up more, it throttles more, it's ISP is worse, it's objectively worse chip.

      Not buying Samsung. They keep downgrading their regular and Plus models. There's even rumors the S23 and 23+ will have worse bezels and weaker haptic motor. These phones have become loss leaders to push sales for the Ultra model.
      If Realme can equip a flagship with a flat 6.7 QHD+ panel how come Samsung can't for the S21/22/23+? The answer is they don't want to. It's one in a long line of anti-consumer strategies from this company.

        Samsung, "we want a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Version, like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Plus version"

        Qualcomm sends an option of an Overlooked Version, with no information on battery and thermals. Hopefully, Samsung tested those, without relying on Qualcomm.

              All my daily task works perfect with already exyon s22u version.
              What will be better to me from s23u?
              I can only figure out camera (which is already almost perfect) and battery? Anyway I got 7 SOT daily.

                    Olympus Oms, 17 Nov 2022Yeah yeah. Europe will get the exynos version. As always. Can't admit defeat? Are you still going to say this in February?

                            So that means that Samsung will once again differentiate when it comes to processors in their flagships. The better version, for Europe and ordinary for the rest of the world

                            Why can't they just stick to one for everyone

                              High frequency version. How the tables have turned. Remember 7 years ago that Samsung intentionally sold a Snapdragon variant which is slower than the fellow Snapdragon phones from other brands that time?

                                On one hand Europeans will sure be happy not to be second class citizens.

                                On the other I was kind of hoping that Samsung would pigheadedly push on with Exynos until they are a match for Snapdragon.

                                The total dominance of Qualcomm is not a good thing and is driving up prices as they can charge whatever for their chips.

                                  important news:

                                  arm is considering going nuclear in qualcomm nuvia case

                                  arm wants to terminate qualcomm core and architecture agreement if qualcomm doesnt destroy nuvia ip and cores and completely drops them and doesntuse them in their products

                                  sad news for fellow android users

                                    (I’m not too sure about the latest iterations, though)
                                    Really looking forward to seeing how the European version of the S23 will do. Although the higher clock seems kinda dumb. I’d much rather have better battery life and thermals than a slightly faster SOC

                                      R.i.p battery

                                        Look here's the thing
                                        Exynos is just a chipset with power between the QUALCOMM Snapdragon 888+ and the Mediatek 9000
                                        I mean many of us use phone for calling, streaming, browsing and photography so really a chipset with decent power is good I mean we treat exynos like it has speeds slower than the iPhone 3gs
