According to the Korean publication The Elec, Samsung will not use its Exynos chips in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. Samsung has equipped all its foldable phones with Snapdragon chips exclusively, which is why they are so thick. So it’s no surprise that the company will use the Snapdragon chipset again in the 6th generation foldable phones.
However, Samsung has improved the performance and energy efficiency of its own silicon over the past couple of generations, and the goal is likely to be to have more control over your smartphone while saving costs.
In fact, Exynos has a long history of being slightly or significantly worse than its Snapdragon sibling. Now it finally seems that Exynos is catching up with Qualcomm. A recent report suggests that the upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset will outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in terms of power efficiency. However, the new chipset is likely to debut with the S25 series, and the current options for 6th generation folding PCs are the Exynos 2400 and last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The Exynos 2400 is reportedly still not efficient enough to be a viable option
Despite all the achievements, according to the Korean publication, Samsung MX (smartphone division) has decided to continue its partnership with Qualcomm when it comes to foldable phones.
Samsung is reportedly avoiding using the currently available Exynos 2400 chipset because it does not meet energy efficiency requirements. Last year’s fifth-generation folding phone has a 3700 mAh battery.
Although it is rumored that Samsung has managed to install a 3880 mAh battery in the Z Flip 6, which it may advertise as a 4000 mAh battery (which, if true, would be the same as the Galaxy S24), this is still not enough for a flagship chipset.
This may be the reason why Samsung prioritizes energy efficiency, even if it is not cost-effective for them.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 has already appeared on Geekbench, and the phone is expected to be launched sometime in mid-July.
