Samsung Galaxy S26 series to mark a return to Exynos

13 December 2024
Obviously, the Korean company would rather not pay Qualcomm for its chips.

      I do hope their Exynos chip is par with Snapdragon, or better, otherwise most people would prefer using Snapdragon processors instead.

                    It impacts your battery life and camera performance and so much more.

                    It's practically not possible to squeeze too much battery into such a small form factor. So optimisation is the key.

The SD Card support got sabotaged so many times by Google, Samsung just gave up. Telling of the times how that was never regulated by our tax funded regulators.

                            I don't think people are interested in S series anymore. Year after year it's losing appeal and sales. IMO, they should just discontinue it

                                  The Galaxy S26 will feature a Snapdragon chip after all.

                                    99% of news about Samsung S series is always about Exynos or Snapdragon.. Really? When will they give 50MP telephoto and 6000mAh battery at least.
