It used to be easy to figure out which chipset you would find under the hood of your Galaxy S flagship phone. If you lived in North America or China your handset would have the latest Snapdragon chipset inside. Elsewhere, your Galaxy S phone would be powered by the latest Exynos chipset designed by Samsung. The one exception was in 2015 when the Snapdragon 810 had a problem with overheating. The Exynos 7420 powered all Galaxy S6 series handsets no matter what region they were shipped to.
Over the years the Snapdragon chips have become extremely powerful and energy-efficient and this year an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy was used on all Galaxy S23 models. But what will happen next year? Stating the obvious, nothing becomes official until Samsung says it is so.
With that in mind, Twitter tipster Revegnus tweeted (via SamMobile) that Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) unit has approved mass production of the Exynos 2400 and that the chipset will power the Galaxy S24 series in certain markets. According to the tipster, the Exynos 2400 chipset will feature a 10-core CPU based on the ARMv9 architecture. The GPU will be the RDNA2 from AMD.

The fact that the MX unit signed off on the mass production of the Exynos 2400 is significant since it suggests that the unit plans on using the chipset for a product that is under its umbrella. And yes, the Galaxy line of handsets is one of the devices that the MX unit is in charge of. You might say to yourself, perhaps the Exynos 2400 is being greenlit for use with a tablet, or another Galaxy phone, and you might be correct.

However, the Exynos 2400 could be competitive with Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon chip if another rumor turns out to be true. Recently, we told you about speculation that the Exynos 2400 will employ fan-out wafer-level packaging (FoWLP) that eliminates the need for a printed circuit board (PCB). As a result, the Exynos 2400 could show improved performance with greater energy efficiency. The chip will reportedly be manufactured by Samsung Foundry using its 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus) process node.
Sure, the Galaxy S23 line is still fresh and new but that won’t stop the speculation about what lies ahead for the Galaxy S24 series. Already there is talk that Samsung might drop one of the telephoto cameras on the Galaxy S24 Ultra leaving the periscope camera on the device. And another tweet from Revengus says that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will sport 16GB of RAM while the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will each have 12GB inside.
