Supposedly the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 plus will launch in the global market with a new exynos chip. Whilst ONLY the Galaxy s24 Ultra will get the snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
If this is true, then it’s a complete deal breaker as I’m a base version/plus version kinda guy, the ultra is too big for me and I don’t use the S pen. We gave Samsung 3 shots to prove themselves with the exynos chips and all 3 times they failed. I don’t have high hopes for another exynos coming. Even if it has good performance then what about battery efficiency? Cameras? Heat optimization…etc etc.
Why only North America gets snapdragon? Do the rest of the world not deserve the superior chip? Or are we test dummies for Samsung to see what works and what doesn’t and NA is their real target audience?
Is there really much difference for most users?
I am 99% sure my note10+ was an exynos and it worked perfectly fine.And s24u is not flat screen. Its still curved but very minimal.
Bottomline, u cant put tempered glass again.
I’ve managed to put tempered glass on both my previous s22u and s23u, albeit they are more pricey because of the UV process.
Yes. Not everyone is comfortable on doing that.
I said it can cover the screen fully, not the bezels
Yeah you can. The screen is flat so a glass screen protector would still fully cover it
Can you please provide source or something?
and this post proves why most people don’t understand what really matters. what really matters isn’t smartphone sales they make jack. samsung’s biggest profits is selling chips and they’re not going to just go qualcomm if they can go exynos. if you really want a SD, just buy a US model. and if its a deal breaker go for another OEM
samsung’s biggest profits is selling chips
That seems like total bullcrap especially when samsung foundry just lost 2 big customers nVidia and qualcomm within the past year
Already seeing the news about how the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted
Comment OP probably meant in the way that he can already see this kind of news will come up.
This
Is this sarcasm?
Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.
That’s what “Predicted” means.
Lower than predicted. Meaning they predicted a number, and then the real number is lower than that.
But there is no real number. because there is no phone.
Exactly my point. Thank you.
Predicted by whom? The same experts that predicted that Trump would retain his presidency?
“…the Galaxy S24 SALES ARE LOWER than predicted”
No, open your eyes and read, that’s what SALES ARE LOWER means. With this statement, OP is not saying PREDICTED sales are lower. OP is saying SALES ARE LOWER than predicted, where sales refers to something that is currently occurring or has occurred.
Again: Please explain how “…the Galaxy S24 sales are lower than predicted” when the Galaxy S24 series has not yet been officially announced let alone offered for sale anywhere in the world.
Guess he didn’t frame properly & perhaps meant the Sales are predicted to be lower than earlier models.
They meant they can already envision seeing this new in the future. Obviously.
No, sorry, not obvious at all.
Yeah tried of Samsung and others that put their software on top of Android just another reason out of many I’m going to the real Android device the Pixel 8 Pro…
Google does the exact same thing with the Pixels. Except their software isn’t quite as polished or reliable as OneUI. It’s no longer the Nexus line that used stock Android.
Pixels are stock Android… Samsung,One Plus so forth have their own software on top of Android so Pixels are stick Android and have their own custom chips on the hardware side and their hardware will be even more customized over the next year or so they are the iPhone of Android. One UI is just extra software thrown on top of Android that you have to update and Apps that can not be removed so forth it’s just more things to maintain. It’s Not the pure Android experience it’s just extra bloat that’s installed on the device by the manufacturer just as Oxgeyn so forth. If folks like it great but the pure Android experience is with a Pixel if you want all the other 3rd party things then that’s fine stay with Samsung. But you can never compare the two it’s totally different experiences…
They don’t use stock Android. They use their software on top just as Samsung does with OneUI. Their software just doesn’t have a name: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-needs-to-give-its-android-skin-a-public-name/
The “custom” chip that they use is just a past generation Exynos. Google designs and adds just a tiny chiplet for machine learning and the like. Otherwise it’s basically a Samsung Exynos chip.
Also, a lot of the hardware components in Pixels are pretty poor. For instance, their batteries are sourced from a Chinese OEM that otherwise sells replacement batteries you’d buy at a knock-off market.
Do you know that the Tensor chips found in Pixels are rebranded Exynos?
Right now Samsung makes the chip but Google controls the design and software. Samsung gets their chips like most from other hardware manufacturers. Aliso Google will be moving away from Samsung designing their chips in the next year or so most likely the Pixel 10 so it’s a temporary thing. Also overall it’s how Google does their software compared to others so they will have the software side covered but also they will have their own custom hardware basically like the iPhone of Android.
Pixel it is then
This could be true Google and Samsung are working together to make an open source version of Dolby Atmos it would be easier to support your own work with your own chip vs a 3rd party chip. I’ve been wanting exynos to come to the US for more options.
I guess they’ve run the numbers and think that because this won’t make a massive enough dent in sales at first that they can get away with this? What happens if people are immediately frustrated with the lacking performance of Exynos chips?
I thought Samsung was ditching Exynos altogether in another report? I doubt they will do that. There’s bound to be a lot of rumors flying around as we’re a little over a month away from the release. I’d take everything you hear with a grain of salt unless it is absolutely confirmed.
I heard they will ditch the Exynos name in 2025 and will replace it with ‘Dream’ The question is, is it a new design or just a renamed Exynos…
I don’t know why anyone would do samsung these days if they don’t like the s pen and the ultra. The company is so expensive and their products are not exceptional except for the ultra. Once you factor in their complete hit or miss service, they are a big no.
I personally finally have gotten over the s pen and will be moving to a new brand for sd8 gen 4.
And this is why I’m selling my s23 plus and ordered the iPhone 15 pro max. Samsung sucks anymore!
But you have a decent Phone,why?
You are just learning this now? lol
USA gets SD gen 3 and its gonna be fucking awesome
The reason is Qualcomm makes the companies that use their chips only use them in the US since it’s a US company. It’s an expensive chip compared to an in-house build like the Exynos chip. That’s why other markets get the Exynos chip instead.
Really? You mean like when the S23, S23+ and S23U all used the Qualcomm SD8G2 in all markets everywhere, worldwide?
Is that how you mean “Qualcomm makes the companies that use their chips only use them in the US since it’s a US company?”
I’m not saying they can’t use it in other markets. Just the US is locked into the snapdragon processor due to a deal they have with Samsung. Qualcomm charges a lot for their chips. One of the biggest reasons Apple has made their own chips for the iPhone. If Samsung can spend less in other markets by putting their own in-house chip in their phone they will. They know that their processor isn’t good enough for the ultra so they decided on just that for the S24.
I don’t care if battery life is on par with S23
