Qualcomm Snapdragon chips are expected to power Samsung Galaxy S23 series exclusively

Rumours have been going around that the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S23 flagships will run exclusively on Snapdragon chipsets. During Qualcomm's Q4 earnings call, CFO Akash Palkhiwala confirmed expectations for a strong second half of the March quarter in 2023. This time frame coincides with the first months of sales for the Galaxy S23 series. He also said the company has moved from a 75% share of chipsets in the Galaxy S22 series to the global share for the S23 line. 

Qualcomm's CEO Cristiano Amon also confirmed a multiyear partnership with Samsung to expand the use of Snapdragon chipset to all premium Samsung Galaxy phones globally. We can't outright confirm yet that an Exynos-powered S23 is out of the question. But we're sure to hear more as the launch of the new Samsung flagship approaches.

Samsung Galaxy S23 rumoured to get new 200MP camera

Samsung has reportedly completed work on its new 200-megapixel sensor for its 2023 flagships, which could be the Samsung Galaxy S23. The company is reportedly in the process of picking suppliers for its production. Samsung's component division, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, will reportedly get 70% of the orders for this new ISOCELL sensor, while other partners will fulfill 30% of the orders. With the final design complete, Samsung reportedly wants to ramp up production for ISOCELL HP3 to have them ready for next year's flagships (a.k.a. the S23).

As SamMobile noted, though, this won't be the same sensor as the ISOCELL HP1, also a 200-megapixel camera. The HP3 is reportedly an upgraded version, but it isn't clear what improvements were made. The HP1 can already do things like record 8K and 4K and offer features like advanced HDR and Double Super Phase Detection autofocus.
