Most Android manufacturers use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips to power their handsets, with the exception of Huawei who makes its own silicon, and Samsung, which power some of its smartphones with its own Exynos chipset. However, recently it was reported that most variants of the Galaxy S11 will be underpinned by the Snapdragon 865 as the South Korean giant believes it is better than its own silicon, the Exynos 990.
At the same time, the Korean giant wants to increase its chip foundry business and the only way it can is take new orders from Qualcomm. According to a new report, Qualcomm intends to maintain its lead over Samsung and to obtain that edge, Snapdragon 865 orders may not be given to Samsung.
