While we’re just a few days away from Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Unpacked launch event, more details about the devices keep revealing. In earlier months, Qualcomm confirmed that Samsung will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for its flagship phone series, Galaxy S23. However, the rumors claim that the Galaxy S23 flagship series will feature a powered version of the chipset. Now, the images of the special chipset are revealed. Here are the details about Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy images.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy will have a special logo
Qualcomm launched its latest chipset a few months ago, and many phone manufacturers use the chipset on their devices. However, Samsung prefers a modified version of the chipset. According to the leaks, the official name of the chipset will be “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy“. The South Korean firm is expected to launch the Galaxy S23 flagship series with this version of the chipset. It will be more powerful compared to the standard variant. Here is the promo image of the SD8 Gen2 for Galaxy.
The powered Snapdragon logo will be used to make people understand the difference between the Samsung version and others. The company will officially announce the chipset alongside the Galaxy S23 on February 1 at the Unpacked event. While the SD8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy chipset will be exclusive to Samsung, and it is claimed that the brand will use it even for future devices, like Galaxy S24.
By the way, there are no reports about which features and optimizations will be available on the modified chipset. However, some reporters say that the chipset will be a higher-clocked version optimized for the Galaxy S23 series. According to the expectations, Samsung will not launch the new flagship series with any other chipsets, but SD8 Gen 2. The phones will be available with the modified chipset in all markets.
