We can understand if you stick with a Snapdragon-powered S24. Qualcomm’s chips are usually safe choices, often being fast, reliable, and efficient (well, barring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1). Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are also the top choice for demanding games.
Then again, MediaTek and Exynos chips do a respectable job for the most part. This year’s Dimensity 9200 was comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in most areas (bar a couple of categories like stress testing and multi-core performance), while the brand-new Dimensity 9300 looks like the most powerful Android chip of 2024. Samsung didn’t release a flagship Exynos chipset this year, but the Exynos 2400 tentatively seems like a powerful piece of silicon.
So is it a case of Snapdragon or nothing for you, or are you happy to get an Exynos or MediaTek-powered S24?
