Maybe this explains all the rumors regarding Samsung using the Exynos chips... Exynos 2200 Being Used For The Galaxy S23 FE Because Of EXCESS SUPPLY That Samsung Wants To Use Up
Omar Sohail•Jun 15, 2023 09:53 AM EDT1



The Galaxy S23 FE is said to be the last high-end model from Samsung this year that does not hail from the foldable family, but despite having the choice to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy or even the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Korean giant is said to stick with the Exynos 2200. One rumor claims that the manufacturer has excess inventory of the SoC, so it wants it utilized in the upcoming price-to-performance handset.

The rumored pricing of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 makes it difficult to use in the Galaxy S23 FEThe number of Exynos 2200 shipments were not mentioned by tipster Revegnus, but he does state that Samsung’s only reason for using this chipset is to utilize the existing inventory. It is likely that the Galaxy S22 series did not sell well as Samsung had previously anticipated, which is the reason for the excess Exynos 2200 inventory. However, even with access to Qualcomm’s more efficient and highly capable Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, why is Samsung sticking with something it was criticized about?

The answer is simple; the Galaxy S23 FE is targeted to be a price-to-performance handset, so the Exynos 2200 was likely produced at a lower price than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. In a previous rumor, we stated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 costs $160 to companies like Samsung, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen Plus Gen 1 is not that far off with its $130 price, so irrespective of their benefits, the Korean giant would lose profit from each Galaxy S23 FE sold.
