One big win for Samsung this year is that it has had exclusive access to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy – which is essentially just a slightly faster version of the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset available to other flagship handsets. Still, this meant the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the other best Samsung phones could credibly be called the most powerful Android phones.
But now they have some competition, because it seems Samsung no longer has exclusive access to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy – just to that particular name, as the new Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro has exactly the same chipset.
