Samsung is reportedly working on a 10-core Exynos 2400 chipset

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series was launched on February 1st and the latest generation of the company’s flagship smartphones is powered by a bespoke version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. While the South Korean smartphone maker is expected to continue its “multi-year” partnership with Qualcomm for its upcoming flagship phones, a tipster has now revealed details of an alleged Exynos 2400 chipset. It’s worth noting that Samsung has yet to announce any details on a successor to the Exynos 2200 chipset that powers the Galaxy S22 series in some markets.

Renowned tipster Ice Universe took to Weibo (translated) on Monday to share something details of the “Exynos 2400” SoC, and the tipster claims the information is part of a “reliable leak.” However, the tipster doesn’t mention whether this rumored chipset is designed for upcoming S-series phones that could launch as a successor to the Galaxy S23 Series.

According to the tipster, it is Exynos 2400 will be a 10-core chipset. It will have a Cortex-X4 core, 2 Cortex-A720 high-performance (or high-frequency) cores, 3 Cortex-A720 efficient (or low-power) cores and 4 Cortex-A510 cores. The Exynos 2400 moniker suggests the chipset could launch next year, based on the precedent Samsung set for its predecessor Galaxy S22 Series.

Cristiano Amon will become Qualcomm President and CEO in July 2022 recommended that Samsung’s Galaxy S23 smartphones would predominantly use Snapdragon chipsets. Samsung later announced that the entire Galaxy S23 range would use the chipmaker’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy mobile platform.

Amon had also revealed that Qualcomm had done so expanded its partnership with the South Korean conglomerate. “It is a multi-year agreement. And I can probably tell you that. They should consider that we power their devices worldwide. The agreement includes PCs, tablets, extended reality and more in addition to Galaxy smartphones,” he said at the time.

As such, it’s still too early to speculate on whether Samsung will equip its upcoming S-series smartphones with this rumored Exynos 2400 chipset, or opt to continue to ship all of its flagship smartphones with a bespoke version of Snapdragon chips under the deliver hood. Neither company has yet announced any plans to feature Qualcomm chips on Samsung phones as part of the multi-year agreement.
