Samsung users in the U.S. can be considered lucky because, for the longest time, the Galaxy phones available in that region come equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs. This means that in terms of performance across the board, they always get the benefit. However, that might change soon as the South Korean firm has decided to shift some things around.
Samsung switching to Exynos chipsets for the U.S. market is a bold move for the Galaxy consumers but it has to be done the right way
Based on information from a renowned tipster, Samsung Electronics has decided that it is going to start producing Exynos processors at the Taylor factory. This is being done to avoid any delays with the scheduled 4nm production timeline by the end of this year. Now, this might not be a big deal for any consumers, but the tip does suggest something else, too.
Samsung Electronics has decided to produce Exynos processors at the Taylor factory to avoid potential delays in meeting the scheduled 4-nanometer production timeline by the end of 2024, as they have faced challenges in securing foundry customers for the facility.

The source also claims that there is a possibility that Exynos processors that are produced in the Taylor factory could come to Samsung Galaxy devices that are shipped in the U.S. market. Now, this could be a worrying indication, but it is important to understand that Samsung's mid-range Exynos chipsets are not as bad, and considering how the company is equipping its flagship Ultra variants with Snapdragon CPUs only, we might not even notice this happening.
On the other hand, if Samsung does run into issues, and we start seeing Exynos become more commonplace in the U.S. market, then the company will need to actually make the Exynos chipset more viable because if not, that, then the customers will start flocking towards other devices. Samsung does face some stiff competition from Apple, and there are a lot of other companies that are also selling Snapdragon-based smartphones in the U.S.
As a lifelong Samsung Galaxy user, I really want the company to start producing Exynos chipsets that are not only on par with the Snapdragon variants but also something that outperforms them. Samsung has what it takes to rival the giants in the market, but based on the performance of the Exynos 2200 and its predecessors, things are a bit grim. I cannot say what the Exynos 2400 is going to be like, but I am really hoping it allows Samsung to redeem itself and emerge as a big-player in the mobile SoC market.
