Samsung surprised everyone a little this year by opting to use its own Exynos processors instead of Qualcomm’s chip which everyone else in the industry was using. That turned out to be a masterstroke as its processor appears to have been every bit as good as the Snapdragon 810 – and the Exynos chip doesn’t have rumours of overheating trailing behind it. Despite the success of its in-house manufactured processor, rumour has it that the Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung’s next flagship, will go back to using a Qualcomm chip, namely the Snapdragon 820.
This shouldn’t be a surprise as the Snapdragon 820 is expected to be the best available processor for the next 6 months or so, though its release date is yet to be confirmed. However, as is always the case with rumours, we should take this one with a grain of salt – even if this were true, Samsung could still turn around and use its own Exynos chips again, which really didn’t turn out too badly for this this year. Naturally, we’ve still got quite a few months before we find out whether any of this is true – we’ve got the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 this week to look forward to, however.
