In the last few weeks, there have been dozens of reports covering the possible Samsung Galaxy S6 specs, and rumors have it that the upcoming flagship would be on an entirely new level when it comes to performance.
However, in spite the huge clamour for the latest Snapdragon 810 chipset from Qualcomm, a recent report pointed out that Samsung may be releasing its newest flagship with two chipset variations.
But in yet another report by GSM Arena, Bloomberg revealed that the Korean manufacturer might totally pass Snapdragon 810 and just opt for its own Exynos chipsets.
In the report, Qualcomm's chipsets are rumoured to have overheating issues, which is definitely a no-no for a company that is looking to bounce back from a disappointing year.
As a result, Bloomberg cited unnamed industry sources who claimed that the Korean tech giant has already made the decision not to use Snapdragons for their Galaxy S6, though it has not yet made an official announcement about it.
However, that announcement may come any day from now as the Mobile World Congress is only more than a month away. Some of the expected devices to be announced at the MWC in Barcelona include the new Galaxy flagship, which will allegedly come in two versions, an LG G4, the HTC One M9 (or simply HTC Hima), and Sony's Xperia Z4.
The Xperia Z4 hit the rumour mill earlier this month as some reports claimed that the device has already been certified in Sony's homeland, Japan. As for the Galaxy S6 by Samsung, it would surely be aimed at its home market, South Korea, and other markets in Southeast Asia as well.
While the thought that Samsung will ditch Qualcomm in favour of its own chipsets is not good, consumers will not have to worry about LTE connectivity.
Last year, Samsung has developed an Exynos chipset variant that can support advanced features of LTE. That version boasts quad-core Cortex-A57 and quad-core Cortex-A53, though it can only support Mali GPU at the moment instead of Adreno.
