As a recap, check out our long-term review of the Galaxy S23 Ultra in the video below.
Author's Note: Samsung got winners on its hands earlier this year in the form of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, and they have been widely regarded as some of the best high-end phones of 2023. Their sales have also lined up with the reviews they received from experts and general consumers. And that was largely due to the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy processor, which is extremely powerful and highly power-efficient. The phones do not have any issues related to overheating, throttling, or battery life.
With the Galaxy S24 series, though, Samsung is going back to using Exynos chips in the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+ in most markets. If the chipset doesn't perform as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Samsung will have to face a lot of issues and customer dissatisfaction. So, it remains to be seen how well the Exynos 2400 performs and if there would be a large performance, battery life, or stability delta compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that is used in the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24+ in Canada and the US and the Galaxy S24 Ultra worldwide.
