Under the hood is Qualcomm’s custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform for the Galaxy. First launched on Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series of smartphones, the chipset is a slightly overclocked version of the chipmaker’s top-of-the-line offering, which has been used in other flagship phones launched this year.
