Samsung Galaxy S23 Series to Use Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Future Flagships Tipped to Use Qualcomm Chips

Samsung Galaxy S23 series is set to debut globally on February 1. This upcoming flagship lineup is said to include the base Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung is yet to delve into details surrounding these smartphones officially. However, there have been many leaks and rumours in the build to the launch. Corning has now announced that the next Galaxy flagships from Samsung will get Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. In addition, a new report suggests that the South Korean tech giant will install Qualcomm chips in all of its premium smartphone models.

Corning recently announced that Samsung will use the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 in its next-generation flagship Galaxy smartphones, believed to be the Galaxy S23 lineup. This new glass composition is said to deliver an “improved drop performance on rough surfaces like concrete”, along with delivering the scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass Victus.

Gorilla Glass Victus 2 was unveiled in November 2022, however, it is yet to debut on a phone. The upcoming Galaxy S23 will be the first to come with this feature. This technology also supports immersive features like augmented reality and 3D sensing. To recall, the Galaxy S22 smartphones came with Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.

Recent reports have suggested that the Galaxy S23 handsets will be powered by a custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, instead of an Exynos chipset. This overclocked chipset could have a clock speed of up to 3.36GHz, which is a nice jump from the 3.2GHz max clock speed of the original version.

Tipster Yogesh Brar (Twitter: @heyitsyogesh) has now suggested that we might get Qualcomm-powered Samsung flagships globally for a while. The South Korean tech giants are believed to be developing next-generation Exynos chips. Brar suggests that Samsung might only release Qualcomm-powered smartphones till the work on new Exynos chips is complete.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Rumoured to Feature Overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU and GPU Cores

Samsung Galaxy S23 series is expected to launch in February 2023 and will most likely be the first set of Galaxy smartphones to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The latest rumour hints at the fact that the flagship Galaxy trio might just have a special version of Qualcomm’s newest SoC with overclocked CPU and GPU cores. Earlier this year, Samsung and Qualcomm signed a multi-year agreement where it was hinted that Samsung would use mostly Snapdragon SoCs in its Galaxy S23 series, which means Exynos-powered S23 handsets would be a lot less.

Samsung has had a longstanding relationship with Qualcomm and in the past, we’ve seen Galaxy S-series smartphones being the first to ship with flagship Qualcomm SoCs before anyone else, so it’s no surprise to hear that Samsung’s next big launch would have special edition SoCs that are tailor-made for its flagships.

This new information comes via prolific Twitter tipster, Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), who tweeted that Samsung will have a special edition Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC where the CPU’s prime core will have a frequency of 3.36GHz (vs 3.2GHz) and the Adreno GPU will have a frequency of 719MHz (vs 680MHz). These are both maximum frequencies that the SoC can ramp up to, when the need arises. Ice Universe doesn’t explicitly mention that this special edition SoC will be in the Galaxy S23 series, but considering the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is Qualcomm’s flagship SoC, it’s obvious that the S23 series would be one of the first to get it.

Being able to run at a higher frequency than stock also introduces the possibility of more heat build up, so it’ll be interesting to see how Samsung handles this with its cooling system. I would not be surprised if Samsung decides to use this overclocked SoC in just the Galaxy S23 Ultra, since that phone is expectedly going to be heavier and larger than the other two, which means it could have a more effective cooling solution. This would also let Samsung have yet another differentiator between its Ultra model and the other two.

Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series has been in the rumor mill for quite a few weeks now. The lineup is expected to include three models — Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The rumoured Ultra model is said to carry a quad rear camera unit led by a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL sensor. The main rear camera sensor could have a pixel size of 0.6-micron pixels and an f/1.7 aperture.

Samsung Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC Configuration Tipped, May Get New Telephoto Camera

Samsung is believed to be mulling over the decision on whether to go with an Exynos 2300 SoC or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for the Galaxy S23 series. The details of these chipsets are still up in the air. Rumours in the past have suggested the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC may sport a combination of Cortex-X3, Cortex-A720, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 cores. However, a notable tipster has recently shared a different configuration of this chipset along with more details.

According to a tweet by tipster Ice universe (@UniverseIce), the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC may feature a pair of 2GHz Cortex-A715 cores instead of the Cortex-A720 cores. The remaining configuration is believed to be the same with a 3.2GHz Cortex-X3 core, two 2GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and three 3GHz Cortex-A710.

The tipster has also mentioned that the chipset bearing the model number SM8550 is being developed using TSMC’s 4nm process. Furthermore, the neural processing unit (NPU), image signal processor (ISP), and GPU have all been greatly improved on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

A recent report had suggested that Samsung Electronics wishes to use the Exynos 2300 SoC in the Galaxy S23 series. However, the Samsung MX department expects to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC due to its superior performance.

More leaks and rumours regarding the Galaxy S23 series have been surfacing in recent times. According to a report by GalaxyClub, this lineup may be the first from Samsung to feature a telephoto camera with sensor shift stabilization technology. The publication supposedly spotted a patent from Samsung at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) for this camera technology.

Notably, the Galaxy S23 series is expected to feature a similar rear camera module as to the Galaxy S22 lineup. Only the Ultra model is believed to be getting a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor.
