FCC Data Reveals Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset for Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is set to be unveiled soon, and speculation is rife about its specifications, particularly regarding the chipset. While there were whispers that Samsung might opt for an in-house Exynos chip for its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7, more recent reports indicate that the devices will likely feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Recent discussions about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 have gained traction with the appearance of the device at the FCC. The regulatory paperwork reveals that it is associated with the SM8750 chipset, identifying it as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Although this isn’t an official statement from Samsung, the mention of this model number (SM-F966B) aligns with Samsung’s labeling conventions for previous Galaxy Z Fold models, suggesting that it is indeed the international variant of the phone. In contrast, reports about the Galaxy Z Flip 7 imply a slightly different strategy.
While most variants of the Flip 7 are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, there will be an exception. The South Korean version is projected to incorporate the Exynos 2500 chipset, setting it apart from its counterparts in other regions.
This strategic selection in chipsets highlights Samsung’s ongoing efforts to balance performance and market needs, leveraging Qualcomm’s latest technology while also maintaining a local presence with its own Exynos processors for certain models. As anticipation builds for the official launch, it will be intriguing to see how these decisions resonate with consumers and critics alike.
