The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy S24 could well go back to Exynos chips in certain regions, and therefore in France.

Samsung could choose to return to an Exynos chip for its Galaxy S24, as well as the future Galaxy S23 FE. The rumor had already burst last April and a new article published at Pocket-lint goes in the same direction.
The newspaper cites a source deemed reliable which confirms these previous rumors. Their source adds that the Galaxy S23 FE should be released in 2023, which would revive the range, which as a reminder did not see a Galaxy S22 FE released. According to the cited source, “While the Snapdragon could still power Galaxy S24 variants in the US, Europe is currently on track for the Exynos. »
Europe may be spared, but nothing is certain
All hope is not yet lost for Europe (even if it doesn’t smell very good). Indeed, traditionally, only the United States and South Korea benefit from Snapdragon versions. But given the enthusiasm generated by the S23 under Snapdragon, the Korean giant could review its plans. The publication quotes CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood as saying: “I would be surprised if Samsung decides to go back to Exynos for the important European market, but we might see it in some smaller markets to make sure that Samsung’s internal platform (Exynos therefore Ed) stay in the game.”
This story is all the more surprising as Samsung and Qualcomm (the company behind Snapdragon) have signed a historic agreement to extend their collaboration. As a reminder, the Galaxy S22s suffered from major performance problems when they were released, which were verified several months later. The release of the Galaxy S23 under Snapdragon, on the other hand, was a total success.
