Qualcomm launched a special edition of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23 series this year, and Samsung may retain the same strategy in 2024 to customize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The Qualcomm chip running in the Galaxy S24 may run at a higher clock speed, like its predecessors, making the smartphone perform better at certain tasks. However, not everyone agrees with @OreXda on Twitter, who insists that Samsung will avoid using its Exynos chipsets in Galaxy-branded flagships.
Galaxy S24 Series will never use Exynos.

Shortly after his main tweet, a debate quickly ignited in the industry, with some dissenters talking about Samsung's efforts to use the Exynos 2400 in the Galaxy S24 series.
Apparently, the South Korean giant is working on this SoC, but it's still not clear if it intends to use it in next year's premier smartphone series. Quadrans Muralis responded to the tweet, arguing that Samsung's motivation for using the Exynos 2400 was to negotiate a better price with Qualcomm.
OreXda seems to agree that Samsung is working on the Exynos 2400, but according to him, it won't be in any Galaxy S24 models, which is understandable on the news side, since there hasn't been any news about the Exynos 2400 during the entire S23 launch cycle So unless something concrete comes out in the next few months, our immediate assumption is that the Galaxy S24 series will be powered by a Snapdragon SoC.
Given the improvements seen in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, we're inclined to say that Samsung is still doing what's best for phone customers, as is sticking with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset designed for the Galaxy S24 models.
Previous attempts to differentiate Exynos by region damaged the company's reputation, so unless it has absolute confidence in the capabilities of its high-end Exynos variants, it should resume working with Qualcomm.
