Traditionally, the U.S., China, Japan, and Latin American-bound variants of Samsung’s flagships get the Qualcomm Snapdragon version, while those meant for Europe, South Korea, and the rest of the world are fueled by the company’s own Exynos silicon. If you are wondering which chipset offers better performance, Samsung apparently thinks its the newly announced Snapdragon 865, and if a new report is to go by, this has forced the company to take a drastic step in regards to the Galaxy S11 launch.

Theoretically, the Exynos-powered Samsung flagships should have an upper hand over their Snapdragon counterparts because of better integration and optimization. However, a report from The Elec suggests that the South Korean giant believes that the performance gap between Exynos and Snapdragon has widened. That’s why it’s considering outfitting most Galaxy S11 models with the Snapdragon 865 instead of the Exynos 990. So, chances are that only the European models will be underpinned by Samsung’s own chipset.
