Insane performance gains of Galaxy S23 series powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 get leaked

Over the past several days, Twitter user Ahmed Qwaider (@AhmedQwaider888 ) has revealed a variety of Galaxy S23 series features, and his most recent piece of knowledge claims that the Galaxy S23 series will perform better than the Galaxy S22 series! which does make sense but by how much!

According to the leaker, the Galaxy S23 family will perform better than the Galaxy S22 series (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered) by 36% overall, 48% better at GPU, and 60% better at artificial intelligence activities. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which will be used globally by Galaxy s23 lineup, is responsible for all of these advancements. Prior to this year, Samsung primarily depended on its own Exynos chipsets.

If the numbers mentioned above are accurate, Samsung's decision to remove Exynos from the lineup looks completely logical. Samsung users won't have to put up with its subpar internal CPUs any longer, at least not on flagship models.

But what is so unique about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found inside the Galaxy S23 series is that Samsung will use a slightly overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which will use a primary Cortex-X3 core operating at 3.32GHz as compared to the regular Cortex-X3 core operates at 3.2GHz on the TSMC manufactured Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, two performance Cortex-A715 and two Cortex-A710 cores operating at 2.8GHz, and three efficiency Cortex-A510 cores operating at 2.0GHz.

In fact, the Galaxy S23 series has the potential to be among the top Android flagships in the first half of 2023. A 200MP primary camera with a unique Samsung ISOCELL sensor is said to be used in the S Pen-capable Galaxy S23 Ultra. It will also reportedly include a massive 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz LTPO 3.0 tech E6 panel and an apparently record-breaking maximum brightness of more than 2,100 nits.

The super-premium Galaxy S23 Ultra will be offered in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options, and all models will include 12GB RAM. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus will have batteries that are 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh, respectively, while the Galaxy S23 ultra will have a 5,000mAh battery that will power the device.
