The Galaxy S24 series has officially launched, welcoming the return of the Exynos chip. Of the three new phone models, only the Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy worldwide. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will have two variants using Snapdragon and Exynos chips. So which processor will your region receive? Let's find out with SamCafe in this article.

Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip regardless of country

It's good that the Galaxy S24 Ultra still uses Qualcomm's highest-end processor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy everywhere in the world. Whether you are in North America, Europe, India, or Vietnam, you can rest assured that you love this chipset.

Similar to what Samsung did last year, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy is a bit different from the standard chip on other high-end Android phones. The “for Galaxy” version has a higher maximum clock frequency (3.39GHz vs 3.3GHz) for the main Cortex-X4 core. However, the maximum clock speed of the two Cortex-A720 core clusters is slightly lower (2.9GHz and 3.1GHz compared to 3GHz and 3.2GHz). The same thing happens with the Cortex-A520 core (2.2GHz vs 2.3GHz).

Galaxy S24 and S24+ use Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip in the US, China, Korea...

If you buy the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ in the US, Canada, China, Korea, or Hong Kong, you will receive a version using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip, similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. While in most countries other than the US, these two devices will be sold with the Exynos 2400 chip.

Exynos 2400 is Samsung's most advanced chipset. Although this is a powerful SoC, it is viewed with suspicion by users, all because of its predecessors. The Exynos 2400 is a 10-core CPU with one large Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.2GHz, five medium Cortex-A720 cores (two at 2.9GHz and three at 2.6GHz), and four small Cortex-A720 cores (two at 2.9GHz and three at 2.6GHz), and four small Cortex-A720 cores. The A520 runs at 1.95GHz. It integrates the Xclipse 940 GPU based on AMD's RDNA3 graphics architecture.

There is information that the difference in performance between the two versions of Snapdragon and Exynos 2400 is only 3-5%. However, only actual tests can prove this. We will update the comparison results between these two chipsets in the following articles.
