There have been rumors that the samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 will be equipped with an Exynos2400 chipset, just like the Samsung Galaxy S24, in certain regions. However, the new leak claims otherwise, suggesting that Z Flip6 could be supplied exclusively by Snapdragon 8GEN3.

According to leaker kro_re, Samsung may not have launched a dual chipset for its next foldable flip phone. It sounds like Samsung will take advantage of that chip in other regions as well, rather than keeping the Snapdragon 24 Gen3 exclusively for North America, as it did for the Samsung Galaxy S2. It's good that we can all agree.

The benchmark results for the Galaxy S2400 with Exynos24 were certainly not that bad. But they weren't as impressive as Snapdragon 8GEN3. The Exynos chip gained 6 percent in the single-core Geekbench test, 2,147 percent in the multi-core test, and 6,738 percent in the multi-core test. Snapdragon 8GEN3, on the other hand, managed 2,235 in single-core tests and 6,922 in multi-core.

Even if Gen3 gets a few hundred points, it doesn't make a big difference overall. But the graphics test involved a much larger gap, with Exynos gaining 15,432fps, 91.19fps, 20,113 fps and 120.44fps in the Wild Life Extreme Unlimited test.

The fact that the Z Flip6 has a Gen3 chipset means that foldable offers the best possible performance and efficiency. It also means that users in the US do not have a better advantage than users in Europe, which means they need a more consistent experience across the globe.

Kro_Roe also points out that this universal hardware means that Samsung "avoids the critical issues found in the Exynos2400." One of the main issues reported with Exynos2400 is that battery drain appears to worsen at high temperatures, especially under direct sunlight.1 Other reported issues include phone connectivity and photo quality issues.

That's bad enough on phones where you paid paid700, but when you're paying upwards1,000 or more, those are the kind of issues you're expected to run out of. Therefore, it makes sense for Samsung to fix these problems in the easiest way — replace the chip.

Until the next galaxy is unpacked, we don't know which rumors will occur on 7/10. This is a little earlier than last year, and Samsung is reportedly pushing ahead with the launch ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
