Samsung and Qualcomm begin work on next Galaxy The chipset will be manufactured by Samsung or Taiwan’s TSMC

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has only just started seeing the world and Samsung has already begun work for the next flagship chipset that Qualcomm calls Snapdragon 845. As per The Korean Herald, Samsung is developing the next generation flagship chipset along with Qualcomm. Once the development is complete, the chipset will be reportedly manufactured by Samsung or Taiwan’s TSMC. The manufacturers could employ the 7nm manufacturing process that will have better power efficiency and performance numbers.

Based on the technological patents, Samsung could build the next generation of its Exynos chipset for the Samsung line-up of smartphones, particularly the S-series and the Note-series in the Asian markets. The Exynos could be also built on the 7nm manufacturing process. The current 8895 chipset is based on the 10nm manufacturing process and is featured on the current Galaxy twins.

The S8 flagship chipset — the SD835 — is exclusively designed by Qualcomm and Samsung, and based on the 10nm manufacturing process. It was first featured on the Galaxy S8 and due to that, other manufacturers like Xiaomi had to wait to get access to the chipset for launching their own flagships. LG even had to ditch the 835 for the previous 821 in favour of a timely launch.

Samsung is also working on an 800ppi OLED screen ahead, which could see the light of the day in 2017, possibly in the upcoming Galaxy Note 8. The OLED panel will be the 7th generation technology and will have improved productivity in terms of visual rendering.
