Performance
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series now features phones powered by Snapdragon, rather than Exynos. Samsung has decided to go all-in with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip for its latest flagship phones, which has been labeled as “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy”.
This move follows a recent partnership between Samsung and Qualcomm, which was announced when Qualcomm named Samsung as the official smartphone partner for the Snapdragon Pro series e-sports league.
Compared to the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Galaxy variant has a higher clock speed, with the Arm Cortex-X3 “Prime” core reaching 3.36 GHz, compared to the 3.2 GHz cap on other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered phones.
The remaining performance and efficiency CPU clusters have maximum clock speeds of 2.8 GHz and 2.02 GHz, respectively. The Adreno 740 GPU, based on Immortalis, is also clocked higher at 719 MHz compared to the 680 MHz on the 8 Gen 2.
