Ironically, the new Galaxy S23 becomes 'less Samsung' to reach the iPhone's level of power and efficiency! Samsung had to cheat on Exynos with Qualcomm, Google. Was it worth it?
Samsung launches its “S” series of flagship phones around February every year, while Apple usually adheres to a September launch when it comes to the iPhone. This leaves a 5-month gap between the release of the two most popular flagships on the market, which always makes comparing the two a bit… tricky.
We saw that during the launch of the S23 flagships when Qualcomm’s president and CEO, Cristiano Amon and Hiroshi Lockheimer, Google SVP for Platforms & Ecosystems, took the stage to tell everyone how closely they’ve worked with Samsung to help make the S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra as good as possible. Qualcomm designs the brain of the Galaxy S23, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, but what’s important to note is that Qualcomm is now the exclusive chip supplier for Samsung’s new flagships . That being said, don’t confuse Qualcomm with TSMC, which is the actual manufacturer of the 8 Gen 2.
The cherry on top here is that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powering the S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra isn’t just super fast and camera-centric, but also way more efficient than any other flagship SoC we’ve ever seen feature in an Android phone. Google brought up the RCS vs iMessage debate at Samsung's Unpacked. Samsung, Google, Qualcomm executives hang out after the launch of the Galaxy S23.
That being said, it does look like Hiroshi Lockheimer took the stage at Samsung’s Unpacked event to push Google’s anti-Apple/pro-Android agenda. Of course, that’s the message for adopting RCS - Google’s iMessage alternative for Android.
