A new rumor has surfaced regarding the Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone that should launch in 2016 as the successor to the Galaxy S6. Previous reports indicated Samsung was considering going to add a Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 820, back into the mix for the hardware in the Galaxy S7 alongside their own Exynos line of chips. The possibility of Qualcomm getting a spot back in Samsung’s flagship device may have improved if the latest rumor is true. Sources indicate Samsung has expanded the team of engineers working on optimizing the Snapdragon 820 to be used in the Galaxy S7.
Although the Galaxy S6 may not have provided the financial boon Samsung hoped for, the device is still slated to become their biggest seller, following a line of shipping successes for their Galaxy line of smartphones. This means the Galaxy S7 will likely produce some big numbers in terms of units shipping and hence, in the number of chips used. If Qualcomm does get their latest top-tier processor into the Galaxy S7, that could help them restore some market confidence after the problem-plagued Snapdragon 810.
Sources that have revealed Samsung is expanding their engineering efforts related to the Snapdragon 820 also revealed that Samsung is the first manufacturer to have gained access to testing samples from Qualcomm. Besides using the chip in their smartphone, this may also indicate Samsung has succeeded in winning an order from Qualcomm to produce the new chipset on their 14nm FinFET production line.
