However, as previous rumors and leaks have indicated, Samsung will want to retain some control over the processor used in its top Android smartphones.

To this end, it will be Samsung itself that manufactures these semiconductors in its factories located throughout Asia. As already suggested, Samsung will actually manufacture the Qualcomm chips that will use it.

It will do this to customize some aspects of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. While these rumors and speculation should be read with some moderation, it’s very likely they will.
