The Exynos variants usually are worse than the Qualcomm ones, the cynical take was that most prominent phone reviewers are based in the US so giving that market the superior chipset served to bait-and-switch the other markets into buying inferior hardware. It remains to be seen if Exynos will return for the S24 or they'll stick with Qualcomm across the board.
- hocuspocus 4y ago> the cynical take was that most prominent phone reviewers are based in the US I don't think that's true, most of the reviews I read and watch on YouTube are made in Europe, UK, India. When I worked at Samsung the reason was two-fold: - There's a lot of internal competition, having two SoC suppliers for your flagship phones gives you leverage against both Qualcomm and in-house teams. - Samsung treads lightly with US carriers. Using Qualcomm modems makes their certification process and field testing easier.
