Qualcomm announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Samsung to continue to supply it with Snapdragon chips.
Even though the Samsung Exynos 2400 Deca-core application processor (AP) performed strongly on benchmark tests, Samsung still wants to use Snapdragon chipsets on the top-of-the-line Galaxy S Ultra models and for the smaller Galaxy S models in the U.S. and China. As a result, Samsung signed a multi-year contract with Qualcomm, the fabless chip designer behind the Snapdragon line of chips.
Qualcomm announced the deal during its earnings call for 2024 and noted that the contract went into effect this year. The first Samsung phones to use Snapdragon chips covered by the deal were the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung fans can rest easy knowing that future Galaxy S and Galaxy Z phones will be powered by Snapdragon APs (depending on the region for the former series, of course).
