Samsung Galaxy S23 series sports custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC | Everything you need to know

At the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Instead of using Samsung’s own Exynos chipsets, the new flagship series uses a bespoke Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. The CPU and GPU cores on this special Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC are overclocked. Late last year, the 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC was released. The Samsung Galaxy S22 range used its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, although some devices in some markets used Samsung’s Exynos 2200 SoC.

The ‘Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy’ is the name of Qualcomm’s most recent SoC, which is found in the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The upgraded chip has been optimised for AI, gaming, and graphic capabilities unique to the latest Samsung smartphones.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, according to a prepared statement from Qualcomm, is the fastest Snapdragon currently on the market. According to Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon, the company’s strong strategic alliance with Samsung is a result of company’s common dedication to innovation and delivering the best smartphone experiences to consumers.

The clock speed of this customised Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is up to 3.36GHz. The prime CPU core in the standard edition has a maximum clock speed of 3.2GHz. Additionally, a newer Qualcomm Adreno GPU is included for real-time hardware-accelerated ray-tracing effects while playing video games. According to the business, the processor has camera functions including 200-megapixel photo capture, multi-frame noise reduction, and ultra-low-light video recording.
