Samsung confirms it’s trying to bring Exynos chips back to Galaxy flagships

Lately, there have been rumors going around that Samsung is planning to bring back Exynos SoCs to its flagship lineup of smartphones, the Galaxy S series. According to the word on the street, the brand is planning to bake the Exynos 2400 chipset into the Galaxy S24 lineup. Well, those rumors seem to be true. In its Q1 2023 earnings call, Samsung has confirmed that it’s is trying to reintroduce Exynos SoCs into its flagship smartphones.

The Galaxy S24's use of an Exynos chip is looking more and more likely

The latest announcement comes directly from Hyeokman Kwon, Vice President of the DS Division at Samsung LSI. In the earning calls, he said “We are pushing for the return of Exynos to the flagship of the Galaxy series.” While Kwon didn’t mention the Galaxy S24 specifically, we all know Samsung brings new chipsets to flagships with the Galaxy S lineup rather than the Galaxy Z series. He also didn’t highlight the Exynos 2400 in his statement but considering that it’s the only high-end chipset under development, it’s safe to assume that Kwon was pointing out the same SoC.

At this point, it’s almost confirmed that Exynos is making a return to the Galaxy S lineup, and Samsung fans in European and Asian countries might most likely be disappointed to get the latest news. However, on the brighter side of things, a recent leak suggests that Samsung might bake the Exynos 2400 SoC only into the Galaxy S24, whereas the Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24 Ultra might come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. So, if the Exynos 2400 SoC turns out to be a disappointment, people in these regions can always stick to the higher variants in the lineup.
