The first rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S24 paint a scenario in which the South Korean will once again use Exynos processors at its top of the range. Strictly speaking, it will use the Exynos 2400 as the engine of these devices, at least in some markets.
This information leaves fans of the company reticent after Samsung developed the Galaxy S23 only with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. However, there is good news that the Exynos 2400 will not be used in all Galaxy S24s.
Only the Samsung Galaxy S24 will use the Exynos 2400
According to advanced information from @RGcloudS on Twitter, the Exynos 2400 will only appear on the Samsung Galaxy S24. That is, only the base model of the next top-of-the-range South Korean family will use the homemade processor.
In addition, he adds that this reality will not be verified in all markets. This means Samsung will revert to the pre-current-gen strategy, with Snapdragon processors shipping in select markets.
The South Korean technology will have opted for this strategy as a way of testing the receptivity of the market to its processors. By limiting the Exynos 2400 to a single model and in selected markets, you will be able to demonstrate the progress made in the development of your SoCs.
This also means that the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra will arrive in all markets around the world with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In other words, neither example of these models should launch with the Exynos 2400.
This maneuver, if confirmed, could have an impact on the number of sales of the next Android tops of the brand. Considering that users tend to prefer Qualcomm processors, it is pertinent to question the popularity of the Galaxy S24 in the market if this scenario is confirmed.
And today we share sales figures for the Galaxy S23 that show that the base model is the second most popular in its series. On the other hand, we have the Galaxy S23 Ultra which is preferred by most of the consumers.
Can the Galaxy S24 be surpassed by its Plus sibling if the former comes with the Exynos 2400? It is impossible not to ask this question, but only when these smartphones hit the market will we be able to answer precisely.
