Leaked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 specs bode well for the performance credentials of the Samsung Galaxy S24.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Like many of the best Android phones in 2023, all three models in the recently-released Samsung Galaxy S23 line are powered by Qualcomms excellent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset but Apples top-of-the-line A16 Bionic continues
to deny Samsung the privilege of calling its smartphones the fastest on the planet.

That could all change in 2024, though. According to serial leaker RGcloudS , Qualcomms in-development Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor will be significantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with the Galaxy-specific version
of the chipset set to beat Apples upcoming A17 Bionic on paper.

In other words, the Samsung Galaxy S24 and its larger siblings which we expect to launch early next year could be faster than the iPhone 15 , iPhone 15 Pro and much-rumored iPhone 15 Ultra . Of course, these speed gains are likely to be negligible, but the leak nonetheless bodes well for the performance credentials of future Android devices. Snapdragon gen 3 is indeed strongBigger jump compared to last genApparently the main contributor was arm itself, especially X4 & 1,4,3 configi think it's almost confirmed that gen3 for galaxy will beat bionic 17 frequency"on paper"up to 3.7+ghz for mobile March 3, 2023 See more

To get more granular, RGcloudS claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will boast
a high-performance Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.7GHz, four low-frequency performance cores and three efficiency-focused cores. For comparison, the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 boasts a 3.2GHz clock speed, meaning its
successor looks set to be 15% more powerful.

The Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra all pack a bespoke version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 , but 3.7GHz would still mark a sizable increase over that chipsets slightly higher 3.36GHz clock speed.

Its not crystal clear whether the figures quoted by RGcloudS definitely refer to the standard version of Qualcomms next flagship chipset (rather than the Galaxy-specific version), but their mention of "Gen 3 for Galaxy" suggests we will indeed be seeing two variants of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as in 2023 with the 8 Gen 2.

We'd expect the base Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset to find its way into future Xiaomi, Honor and OnePlus flagships, though again, the performance
differences between these devices and Samsung's next Galaxy S phones are likely be negligible.

Were also expecting Samsung to offer Qualcomm chipsets across the board with the Samsung Galaxy S24 line. In years prior to the release of the S23 range, the company used either Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos processors in its flagship phones, depending on the regions in which customers were buying
them.

The lack of processor discrepancy between regions is a key part of the reason we rate Samsungs latest phones so highly, so we think itd be foolish of the company to undo all that good work with its next line of Galaxy S series devices.
