A recent report coming from the South Korean media claimed the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will use two chipsets: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and Exynos 2500. The international version will be equipped with Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chip, while the US model will get the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The report seemed very reliable considering that Samsung always does that with its flagships. All Samsung flagships launched in the United States are using Qualcomm chipsets, while the rest of the world is getting either MediaTek or Exynos chips.
Unfortunately, that might not be the case this year. According to a new report, the firmware files for the US Galaxy Z Flip 7 indicate that the phone will be powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset.
The type of chipset Samsung uses inside its smartphones remains a sensible topic for tech-savvy customers, although that might not be the case for the general public.
What will really matter is how US carriers will decide to push Samsung’s new foldables and whether or not they will recommend them over other similar products that use Qualcomm’s chipsets like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 that has just made its debut in the country.
This is probably a matter of perspective rather than performance, especially if the report that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset can’t keep a phone’s battery cool enough the thinner a phone is proves to be correct.
