Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra – it was a LIE

Yesterday we got the massive news that Samsung has decided to not launch the Exynos chipset next yr and the yr after since it desires to focus all its resources on the brand new Galaxy-only Exynos chipset that shall be unveiled in 2025 and which can have the identical level of optimization as Apple’s A-series bionic chipset.

This could mean that the Galaxy S23 and S24 will launch exclusively with Snapdragon chips. Well, today we’ve an update on that and it’s something you are not going to love. A Samsung semiconductor spokesperson responded to this story by saying, and I quote:

While we proceed to work with customers to develop competitive mobile processors, no specific decision has been made yet.

While that is admittedly a vague statement, it goes some method to implying that the article wasn’t true. Samsung will launch the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S23 Ultra together with its Snapdragon counterpart next yr.

Galaxy Club, a good source, has discovered the code names of two latest Exynos chipsets. One midrange and one flagship, which suggests that chipset development has already begun. And the Exynos flagship chipset has an identical codename to the Exynos 2200, which mainly confirms that there shall be an Exynos 2300 for the Galaxy S23 next yr.

It is a bummer in case you were excited concerning the Snapdragon S23 Ultra for Exynos regions, but hopefully Samsung will optimize the Exynos 2300 higher to match the large performance and performance boost that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will launch in TSMC production.

That being said, Samsung makes higher foldable phones than every other OEM. But there’s one area where Samsung clearly lags behind its competitors, and that’s the gap. Corporations like Oppo and Huawei have produced foldable phones with an essentially non-existent fold. Yes, you may still see it from certain angles, but it surely’s a lot better than Samsung’s foldables. Fortunately, it looks like that is finally going to alter with the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Ice Universe says:

Samsung managed to make the crease on the Z Fold 4 look less intrusive, it’s still visible, but it surely’s a lot better than previous iterations. The screen will appear and feel smoother to the touch, with none notches, and it’s about time.

Truthfully, the fold of the Z Fold 3 doesn’t really hassle me unless I’m going outside or have a look at the screen at an angle. I’m very glad that Samsung is finally doing something about it. Either way, in case you own a Galaxy Watch 4, I even have one other great news for you. Samsung has finally made the Google Assistant feature available on its Galaxy Watch 4, which will be downloaded from the Play Store. The Watch 4 already has Bixby, but for my part Bixby shouldn’t be as useful as other digital assistants.

Either way, I actually don’t understand why it took Samsung and Google so long to implement Google Assistant for the Watch, but it surely’s finally here and I could not be more excited.
