A while back, shortly after Qualcomm officially announced the Snapdragon 865, reports came in that the majority of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 shipments wouldn’t feature the Korean giant’s Exynos 990. One reason could be that the Snapdragon 865 brings more to the table than what the Exynos 990 offers and according to info from a tipster, that could be true for. A fresh leak shows that the Galaxy S20 series launching in South Korea, Samsung’s home market, will also sport Snapdragon 865 SoCs.
Ice Universe has shared evidence that was later confirmed by Max Weinbach about the Galaxy S20’s chipset headed for South Korea. According to the Twitter thread, a lot of people are surprised that Samsung wouldn’t opt for its own silicon for its home turf. That’s probably more than enough evidence showing Snapdragon 865’s superiority over the Exynos 990.
