Samsung is one of the few companies to offer two versions of its high-end phones, the Galaxy S, with different processors. Until now, previous-generation Galaxy S’s used a processor from the company itself, an Exynos, in regions like South Korea or Europe, and one from Qualcomm in other latitudes like the United States. United. Rumors indicated that this could change, although it was not the first time that this had been speculated.
The company has always defended that the performance of the two models is the same, but published comparisons have shown differences not only in the peak power that can be achieved, but also in performance or in the type of photographic processing, because the ISP , the chip that controls this is built into the SoC.
The Galaxy S23 will only have Qualcomm processors
This reality could be different in 2023, as Qualcomm reports. In its quarterly shareholder call, it predicted an increase in profits in the first quarter of 2023 as the company will take over processors from 100% of Galaxy S models during th is quarter, up from the 75% it had in 2022 with the Galaxy. S22.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen it from Samsung since the Galaxy S models with the SE family name or the foldable ones have always had Qualcomm processors, regardless of where we bought them.
Specifically, the processor they are using is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a chipset that will be officially announced in mid-November.

The Qualcomm CEO also announced that this deal will be long-term, at least in the Galaxy S. This implies that not only the foldables from 2023, but also the Galaxy S from 2024 and later, will only have processors from the American company. . .
It will be necessary to check how the new chipset improves the photographic capacity of the new Galaxy S23 and its autonomy because it seems that in terms of design we will not have many changes.
