From entry-level smartphones to Samsung’s flagship models, Exynos chipsets power Samsung smartphones. Yet they have always been compared to rivals like Qualcomm and have faced criticism for the performance disparity between Exynos and Snapdragon-powered devices. With the next-generation Exynos 2400 SoC, however, the brand appears to be trying to redeem itself.
A known tipster, RGcloudS, shared the news on Twitter. While the chip’s configuration and packaging information is still being finalized by the South Korean tech giant, it is confirmed to feature notable improvements in performance over its predecessor. With the improvements, it will be able to compete with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC on the Galaxy S24.
Additionally, the tipster said the Exynos 2400 will come with a 10-core CPU or a Deca-core processor. The number of cores that are used will be optimized for different tasks and not all ten cores will be used simultaneously. The Exynos 2400 was rumored to be packaged using the Fo-WLP method, which helps make the chip thinner and more energy-efficient. According to the tipster, the process has been downgraded to I-Cube.
According to reports, Samsung will release the chip with its Galaxy S24 series, with benchmark scores approaching those of Apple’s M2. Exynos processors have received a bad reputation in recent years for their performance and reliability.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra and possibly the Galaxy S24+ will feature a stacked battery, according to @RGCloudS. Depending on the supply chain – Samsung is currently testing batteries made at a Chinese plant because the Cheonan plant is still awaiting manufacturing equipment.
With stacked batteries, charging is faster – the S24 Ultra will charge at 65W (up from 45W for the 2023 model). The S24 Ultra and S24+ batteries will both have a 5,000mAh capacity. The Ultra will have additional cooling, allowing it to charge faster.
