When it’s released early next year, the Samsung Galaxy S23 could be the most powerful phone.
According to 91mobiles.com, Samsung’s next flagship (read: flat phone) will employ the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 CPU.
Qualcomm is likely to disclose its next-generation smartphone chipset later this year, but a November or December announcement wouldn’t allow manufacturers time to use the technology for the December holiday sales season.
History suggests that Samsung will debut the Galaxy S23 in February 2023.
This is the best time to launch a new chip.
Samsung may be rewarded for using Snapdragon 8 Gen2 first.
Recent news claims Samsung would use Qualcomm’s CPUs in the next couple generations of Galaxy S phones, instead of its own Samsung Exynos chipset.
Every Galaxy S23 sold globally will presumably have the same chip, delivering Qualcomm a significant gain if it’s Snapdragon 8 Gen2.
Leaker “Ice Universe” believes the Galaxy S23 will have a 5000 mAh battery.
We’ll reserve judgement till we know if the smallest Galaxy S23 has a substantial battery.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a 5000 mAh battery, whereas the S22 has 3700 mAh.
Samsung wins
Not every phone maker launches the quickest, longest-lasting, or best gadget.
Google’s sales site declares Pixel “the smartest and fastest Pixel ever.”
Samsung wants to beat everyone, not just itself.
It needs the best parts to do so.
It needs the greatest screen, cameras, and chipset.
That means the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.
Samsung is primed to lead in the new year regardless of what phones emerge during the holidays using Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPUs.
