A new report coming by way of the South Korea Electronic Times‘ says that Samsung will use Qualcomm’s all-new Snapdragon 820 chipset for some Galaxy S7 smartphones. This confirms past rumors, but is also historically accurate, considering that Samsung has produced a couple version of its flagship devices, sporting its own Exynos chip in European and other markets while it supplies the variant with a Qualcomm chip to the US and a few other regions.
The paper’s industry sources says that the Galaxy S7 with the Snapdragon 820 chipset will launch early next year and will be supplied to the United States and China. The paper went onto confirm that the Galaxy S7 will have Samsung’s own Exynos chip in other markets.
Interestingly, the technology giant only used its Exynos chip for the Galaxy S6 this year. But according to industry sources, Samsung will indeed take advantage of the Snapdragon 820 in its next flagship. This could potentially mean that consumers could get their hands on Qualcomm’s insane Quick Charge 3.0 technology in the Galaxy S7.
We’re only a few months out before Samsung is expected to officially unveil the device. What would you like the see in a Galaxy S7?
