Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 to Go Global with Snapdragon, No Exynos
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Flod 6 are the constant hot topics in the tech industry nowadays, and the giant seems to exclusively use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor to power both of these upcoming devices.
Samsung is about to launch its sixth-generation foldable phones, and as of yet, it has only used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor to power its foldable devices. This time, things have also appeared constant since a new leak unveiled the probability that Samsung will exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor for its upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 foldable phones.
Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 back in October 2023, and the US chip giant espoused its on-device AI feature. The Korean giant adds the moniker Galaxy to the Snapdragon it acquires from Qualcomm, just to focus on their ties.
There are two reasons why Samsung’s mobile unit is considering sticking with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors for its forthcoming foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The first reason appears to be to maintain the existing relationship as it already has a widespread partnership with Qualcomm, and secondly, it might be inexpensive to continue using Snapdragon for particular phone models.
This is not due to any performance issues with Samsung System LSI’s Exynos 2400, which was used in the recently launched Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 smartphones, but rather for efficiency. The Z series was built from the start based on Qualcomm’s chipset, and now suddenly the change in processor will just raise the cost when foldable phones are still considered costly.
Samsung will announce the next-generation Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 phones at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024.
