Samsung smartphones have been dominant in the mobile phones category for some time now. In 2016, the Galaxy series will be using the Exynos chipset for all its mobile phones developed and released starting next year.
Samsung's Exynos processors have been the core of its flagship phones for a relevant time. In the United States and in China, Qualcomm processors have been utilized for the smartphones while Exynos chips were commonly used in India, especially with the release of Galaxy Note 3 in the region.
With regard to Samsung's high-priced smartphones, the Galaxy series S6 and S6 Edge variants were exclusively packaged with the Exynos chipsets. This means that the company is ousting Qualcomm processors little by little for its high-end variants. In this regard, the Exynos processors might be used in all of Samsung's smartphone products.
Samsung developers voiced out that the company is working on three different Exynos processors. The company is researching and developing an Exynos chipset for its mid-range smartphones. It is most likely that the Galaxy A series will be receiving Exynos 7880 processors on board.
The Exynos 8890 features an M1 CPU core better known as the Mongoose. This chipset is most likely going to be used for the Galaxy S7. The Mongoose processor's performance is very much alike to Qualcomm's Kyro chip and Apple's Typhoon processor.
The Exynos 7422 processors likely are to be used for next year's Galaxy Note series. The 7422 is an upgraded version of Galaxy S6's 7420 Exynos processor.
Also, there are rumours that Samsung will reintroduce the Snapdragon 820 chipset in some of its Galaxy smartphones. This may be due to Qualcomm's excellent single core processing support. This is in considerations as other phone applications need more than one core to function. If Samsung's Exynos chipset gain popularity in the phone maker's mid-range smartphones, Qualcomm processor developers might start to worry.
