Prospective Galaxy S24 buyers in Europe, here’s the information you were all dreading. According to a Winfuture report, Samsung will ship the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ with the Exynos 2400 in Europe. The Galaxy S24 Ultra will get an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Galaxy S24 chipsets confirmed for Europe
It is an open secret that Samsung will use two different processors in the Galaxy S24 series. The Ultra model will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 globally while the other two models will arrive with the Exynos 2400 in some markets. However, there is confusion about a couple of things.
Firstly, rumors are that the Korean firm will use two variants of the Snapdragon chip—an exclusive “for Galaxy” version with an overclocked CPU and the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is unclear whether this differentiation will be based on the model or region or a mix of both.
For example, the Galaxy S24 Ultra could come with the higher-clocked chipset and the others with the standard one (in markets where they feature the Snapdragon SoC). Alternatively, Samsung could use the higher-clocked processor in all three models in some regions and the standard one in others.
Additionally, there is confusion about the regions where Samsung will ship the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ with the Exynos 2400. Some reports said the Plus model will get the Snapdragon chip in most countries, with the Exynos version coming in very few regions. We now have confirmation that European buyers will get the Exynos version of the phone.
The new report says the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ versions with “B” at the end of their model numbers (SM-S921B and SM-926B) will feature the Exynos 2400. Interestingly, there is no evidence of a global version of the Galaxy S24+ with a different suffix in its model number. The “N” is for the Korean version and the “U” is for the US version.
If a Snapdragon-powered unit exists for global markets, it may feature the “E” suffix in its model number. But as of now, we haven’t seen anything. Whether that means it will ship with the Exynos chip in most global markets, we will have to wait and see. Thankfully, it won’t be a long wait as the new Samsung flagships go official on January 17.
The Ultra model will get the overclocked Snapdragon chip in Europe
Winfuture’s report also confirms an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Gaalxy S24 Ultra in Europe. The chipset has its Cortex-X4 prime CPU core clocked at 3.4GHz, higher than the standard version’s 3.3GHz. There are rumors about other CPU cores being clocked lower than the standard version. However, it could be because of some reports rounding off the values. Stay tuned for the official confirmation from Samsung.
