We’re only halfway through Samsung’s typical flagship release cycle, yet rumors are already swirling about 2024’s Galaxy S24. Specifically, whether we’ll see a return to custom chipsets with the rumored Exynos 2400 or if Samsung will stick with Qualcomm and use the as-yet-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The first suggests we will see a return to a traditional geographical split: Snapdragon handsets for the US, China, and select other markets, and Exynos making a return for the rest of the world. The second is more intriguing. Samsung could ship its Exynos chip in the base Galaxy S24, while Snapdragon bulks up the Plus and Ultra models. If we had to pick between the two, the latter option is probably the most appealing; here’s why.
