S27 Ultra Might Be Powered By Exynos 2700 as Snapdragon CPU Overheats Samsung Claims in New Report. · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

• 0:01
  the upcoming samsung galaxy s27 ultra might go
• 0:06
  all exynos globally for their cpu choice oh boy
• 0:12
  so i've been seeing this story all day today
• 0:16
  and i'm waiting around midday just after lunch
• 0:20
  time to make this video because i wanted to read
• 0:23
  a few articles i wanted to get a little perspective
• 0:25
  i wanted to get my thoughts together on this
• 0:28
  because some stories i see I want to race to
• 0:32
  put it online, to upload my thoughts, to get
• 0:36
  it out there. But on this one, I wanted to do
• 0:40
  a little deep thought, a little deep thinking
• 0:42
  on this, because the reason why I did not race
• 0:45
  to upload this is because you got to wonder who's
• 0:51
  leaking this story, who's leaking the information,
• 0:54
  and why. Because... i'm not so sure this is entirely
• 1:00
  true is there some funny business going on let's
• 1:04
  take a deep dive let's talk and discuss about
• 1:06
  what's going on so there's a new report popping
• 1:10
  up all over line that says the s27 may get the
• 1:14
  exynos cpu because the new snapdragon 8 elite
• 1:19
  extreme gen 6 is overheating So Samsung is reportedly
• 1:26
  testing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
• 1:30
  for the upcoming S27 Ultra. Now remember, we
• 1:34
  got news last week that Samsung was going to
• 1:38
  put this new Snapdragon CPU globally in the S27
• 1:42
  Ultra. They're also putting it... in the S27
• 1:47
  Pro. However, the S27 Pro looks like it's going
• 1:51
  to get a split CPU. Some S27 Pros are going to
• 1:54
  get the Exynos. Some are going to get the Snapdragon.
• 1:57
  Now, if you're in the United States, it's going
• 1:58
  to be getting the Snapdragon. And then the S27
• 2:02
  and S27 Plus are getting Exynos CPUs worldwide.
• 2:09
  but i know the main focus is on the ultra that's
• 2:11
  their most popular model so let's focus on that
• 2:14
  now initial performance testing have found that
• 2:19
  the processor in the s27 ultra with the snapdragon
• 2:23
  8 elite extreme gen 6 exceeds acceptable temperature
• 2:29
  limits under sustained heavy workloads causing
• 2:33
  performance throttling performance throttling
• 2:38
  means the cpu it's like a car engine where if
• 2:42
  you rev up the rpms if you redline an engine
• 2:45
  well it generates a ton of heat and cpus are
• 2:50
  very similar you rev it up you redline it it
• 2:53
  generates a ton of heat and then thermal throttling
• 2:56
  kicks in where the onboard computer the memory
• 2:59
  says hey this thing's getting way too hot let's
• 3:02
  scale down their performance to generate less
• 3:05
  heat now when it scales down the performance
• 3:08
  you get less performance so it's not as strong
• 3:11
  at performing as a redlining cpu that can keep
• 3:17
  relatively cooler temperatures now the company
• 3:21
  is considering talking about samsung ditching
• 3:26
  the snapdragon in favor of the year of exynos
• 3:32
  2700 Unless Qualcomm promptly addresses this
• 3:38
  issue. Thermal management is particularly important
• 3:41
  for flagship phones like the S27 Ultra because
• 3:45
  demanding games, advanced camera processing,
• 3:48
  on -device AI tasks, editing videos puts a lot
• 3:54
  of pressure on the CPU and the GPU, right? if
• 3:58
  the chip cannot maintain stable performance under
• 4:01
  these high load conditions it will affect the
• 4:06
  overall user experience of this device it's not
• 4:09
  going to perform as well you're going to get
• 4:11
  a lot of stuttering you're going to get a lot
• 4:12
  of buffering if you're a gamer you're going to
• 4:14
  lose frame rates so here check this out in this
• 4:18
  are in these articles it says samsung reportedly
• 4:20
  shared its concerns with qualcomm last month
• 4:25
  and requested improvements by mid -October. Well,
• 4:29
  guess what? We're in mid -October. Both companies
• 4:33
  are continuing to work on the issue, but the
• 4:36
  processor has yet to meet Samsung's reported
• 4:38
  thermal requirements. Now, if Qualcomm cannot
• 4:43
  resolve the problem in time, the Korean firm,
• 4:47
  Samsung, could go with the Exynos 2700 globally
• 4:51
  in the S27 Ultra. Now, switching to the in -house
• 4:56
  chip could give Samsung greater control over
• 4:59
  the processor supply and reduce its own reliance
• 5:01
  on Qualcomm. It would also help Samsung's semiconductor
• 5:05
  business. Not like they need any more help. Their
• 5:09
  numbers are astronomical. In fact, they hit record
• 5:12
  profits. And a little known fact is Samsung chip
• 5:17
  manufacturing department does not give any discounts
• 5:21
  to Samsung's mobile. department you would think
• 5:24
  samsung putting their own chip in there of course
• 5:27
  they want that right but they don't get any lower
• 5:30
  cost on their chips and or their memory than
• 5:34
  any other android manufacturer would it's kind
• 5:36
  of weird but that's just how it's always been
• 5:38
  now it would however provide a strong showcase
• 5:44
  for their new cpus i put new in quotations because
• 5:52
  Look, I don't really have to explain it. We all
• 5:54
  know the history of Exynos CPUs. They sucked.
• 5:57
  They have sucked, right? Now, I do think they've
• 6:01
  turned a corner on this new process, this heat
• 6:05
  bypass process or whatever it is, where they
• 6:08
  actually separate some of the chip and actually
• 6:10
  put in a heat pass block in there where they
• 6:13
  built this new Exynos 2700 from the ground up
• 6:16
  with the focus on heat. That's been their number
• 6:20
  one. uh issue in the past with xno cpus is they
• 6:25
  just get too hot and they the thermal throttling
• 6:28
  kicks in right that's why we say they suck they
• 6:31
  get hot and the performance just isn't there
• 6:34
  because they get too hot now we do have a statement
• 6:40
  from qualcomm employees so this just broke qualcomm
• 6:48
  executive don mcguire has dismissed claims that
• 6:53
  the snapdragon 80 lead extreme gen 6 overheats
• 6:56
  in the s27 ultra calling these claims 100 not
• 7:00
  accurate i knew i was waiting to make this video
• 7:06
  for you know some deep thought and what do you
• 7:10
  know qualcomm comes out and says this isn't true
• 7:13
  this is just flat out not true now it is interesting
• 7:16
  because it makes you wonder so real quick let's
• 7:20
  go back to the oneplus 15. do you remember when
• 7:26
  the one let's go this time last year when the
• 7:28
  oneplus 15 was getting ready to be released it
• 7:31
  had the all new it was one of the very first
• 7:33
  devices that was released with the snapdragon
• 7:36
  elite gen 5 right the the flagship cpu last year
• 7:42
  do you remember leading up to the oneplus 15
• 7:45
  launch all these creators are saying oh my god
• 7:48
  it's it my phone's getting hot it's overheating
• 7:51
  it seemed like every pre -launch like before
• 7:54
  regular people like you and i could get the phone
• 7:57
  the creators that got the device earlier they
• 7:59
  were all saying it it was overheating it got
• 8:01
  too hot and then i get the phone the one plus
• 8:05
  15 i'm like well i'll just i'll take a chance
• 8:07
  on it whatever no overheating at all in fact
• 8:10
  it never even got warm not even once ever since
• 8:13
  i've owned the phone cool as the other side of
• 8:16
  the pillow and made me wonder why the hell were
• 8:21
  they saying it got hot now one of two reasons
• 8:24
  could have very well been getting hot and they
• 8:27
  pushed updates out to you know tweak the thermal
• 8:31
  management on there so it doesn't get as hot
• 8:33
  or somebody paid them to say that i'm not a tin
• 8:40
  foil hat type of guy But I will put it out there.
• 8:44
  I have seen crazier stuff. Let's go back to this
• 8:47
  story. I wonder what's going on here. Is this
• 8:52
  the truth? How did this leak out? How did this
• 8:56
  information leak out? There was an article by
• 9:01
  a South Korean online publication that put this
• 9:05
  story out. Who's feeding that South Korean publication
• 9:08
  that information? is it put there to degrade
• 9:14
  qualcomm and their products is it there to make
• 9:21
  them look bad is it there to make samsung look
• 9:23
  bad uh not exactly sure and here's the thing
• 9:27
  here's another cat here's another thing i want
• 9:28
  you to think about qualcomm has a contract with
• 9:33
  samsung to supply and look each one of these
• 9:35
  contracts because look uh qualcomm has a contract
• 9:38
  with apple right that's why when this whole apple
• 9:42
  i Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max on AT &T issue came
• 9:47
  out. Everybody was like, well, why does the Pro
• 9:51
  Max in America have a Qualcomm modem and all
• 9:54
  the other devices around the world and in America
• 9:57
  have the new C2 modem? Well, that's because Qualcomm
• 9:59
  and Apple have a contract that, and again, each
• 10:04
  contract is different, but one of their devices,
• 10:07
  at least in America, flagship devices have to
• 10:09
  have that Qualcomm modem. present and going over
• 10:14
  to samsung they have a contract with qualcomm
• 10:16
  so let's say samsung does not put this qualcomm
• 10:20
  chip in the s27 ultra well where does that leave
• 10:25
  the samsung has to fulfill that agreement fulfill
• 10:28
  that contract so if samsung does not put the
• 10:31
  snapdragon cpu in the s27 ultra and i don't know
• 10:37
  the details of the contract i'm just simply throwing
• 10:40
  it out there just simply guessing from the way
• 10:43
  it was structured even dating back to yesterday
• 10:47
  in last week and last month it looked like it
• 10:50
  looked like to me my honest opinion is that that
• 10:54
  contract looked something like at least one of
• 10:58
  your flagship devices in the s lineup, meaning
• 11:01
  the S27 series, at least one of those devices
• 11:04
  needs to be launched and or sold with a flagship
• 11:10
  Qualcomm chip present. So that was going to be
• 11:15
  the S27 Ultra, right? Now, let's say this was
• 11:18
  true. This leak was true. How does Samsung still
• 11:22
  fulfill that contract? Are they going to breach
• 11:26
  the contract? Because those other devices are
• 11:29
  already spoken for. the s27 pro is said to have
• 11:34
  a qualcomm chip in the united states but exynos
• 11:37
  and other regions and that s27 and s27 plus we're
• 11:43
  already going to going to go with exynos 2700
• 11:46
  so if this new snapdragon chip overheats why
• 11:51
  would samsung put that in a smaller device in
• 11:54
  the s27 pro right it's a smaller device smaller
• 11:58
  internal area so it has less space less area
• 12:02
  to dissipate that heat so theoretically it would
• 12:06
  be even hotter in the s27 pro because it's a
• 12:09
  smaller device so if samsung didn't go with this
• 12:13
  snapdragon chip in the in the pro and the ultra
• 12:16
  how are they going to fulfill that contract now
• 12:20
  let's say that's true there is an option there
• 12:24
  is an option for samsung to put if they went
• 12:30
  with the exynos 2700 in the s27 ultra and they
• 12:36
  kicked the snapdragon to the curb on the ultra
• 12:39
  to fulfill that contract qualcomm samsung would
• 12:44
  have to put a qualcomm ship in the s27 pro now
• 12:47
  that extreme elite overheats that's what they're
• 12:50
  claiming so they wouldn't put that in the s27
• 12:53
  pro because theoretically you would get more
• 12:56
  hot because less space less internal space to
• 12:59
  dissipate that heat so there is an option Samsung
• 13:02
  could go with the water down flagship it's the
• 13:07
  Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 so it's not the extreme
• 13:12
  version it's just the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite
• 13:17
  Gen 6. there is that option on the table and
• 13:21
  honestly I think that is a viable option for
• 13:25
  the pro look that's just because it's not the
• 13:28
  extreme does not mean you need to look down upon
• 13:31
  that i personally would be okay with that look
• 13:35
  i've had the motorola signature with the watered
• 13:38
  down version of the snapdragon 8 gen 5 not the
• 13:42
  elite but the gen 5 i have no issues with it
• 13:46
  in fact it's been wonderful and i don't think
• 13:49
  look if you if you handed somebody an s27 pro
• 13:54
  and you handed them the snapdragon you handed
• 13:57
  them an s27 pro one had the snapdragon 8 elite
• 14:00
  extreme gen 6 and one had the snapdragon 8 elite
• 14:03
  gen 6 and you said here use these phones split
• 14:07
  time between them 50 50 you know holler back
• 14:10
  in a month come see me in 30 days and give me
• 14:13
  your experience i think if that person came back
• 14:15
  in 30 days they would probably forget which one
• 14:19
  is which right i'm honestly i don't think there's
• 14:22
  much of a difference now if you benchmark it
• 14:24
  sure you're going to see a difference but average
• 14:26
  daily use you're not going to see a difference
• 14:29
  now samsung could do that with the ultra but
• 14:35
  would that make it an ultra so what if samsung
• 14:37
  put the snapdragon 80 elite gen 6 in the s27
• 14:41
  ultra to fulfill their agreement terms their
• 14:45
  contractual terms with qualcomm instead of putting
• 14:49
  the snapdragon 80 lead extreme gen 6 because
• 14:52
  it's the extreme gen 6 that's overheating so
• 14:58
  this could go many different ways this could
• 15:01
  go many different ways and this is the kind of
• 15:04
  chess that now qualcomm's claiming this is not
• 15:09
  true and of course they're going to say that
• 15:10
  even even if this was true of course they're
• 15:13
  going to come out and say no no no don't look
• 15:17
  over here Fake news, lies, you know, they're
• 15:22
  going to dismantle and or dismiss those claims
• 15:26
  because that's their baby. That's their flagship
• 15:29
  CPU, the flagship product, right? Now, if you're
• 15:33
  wondering what's the difference between this
• 15:36
  Qualcomm chip that they're going to put in the
• 15:38
  S27 Ultra and the same Qualcomm chip that they're
• 15:41
  putting in the OnePlus 16. What's the difference?
• 15:45
  Or the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max? What's the difference?
• 15:48
  Well, you remember, Samsung has a custom version
• 15:52
  of the Qualcomm flagship chip. It's the 4 Galaxy.
• 15:56
  Sorry, I'm doing a lot of air quotes today. It's
• 15:59
  one of those days. I'll try to calm down on that.
• 16:02
  They have the 4 Galaxy chipset. Now, what is
• 16:07
  the 4 Galaxy chipset? What's the difference between
• 16:10
  a Samsung Qualcomm chip and a OnePlus? qualcomm
• 16:14
  chip well they essentially just overclock it
• 16:17
  that's it that's it all right they just turn
• 16:21
  to turn the power up a little bit more and it's
• 16:24
  just a little bit theoretically it may score
• 16:28
  you a couple more points on it on a benchmark
• 16:29
  but it really doesn't do much now what if they
• 16:33
  take out that for galley is that is that if if
• 16:38
  these claims are true if these cpus are overheating
• 16:41
  Is that what is causing the overheating? Because
• 16:44
  we haven't heard anything about overheating in
• 16:46
  the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max or the OnePlus 16 or these
• 16:49
  other devices. The devices running this Qualcomm
• 16:52
  chip are getting smaller and smaller by the year.
• 16:54
  And kind of in, I'm not going to lie, across
• 16:58
  my mind, I thought, what if Samsung wants this
• 17:03
  to happen? What if Samsung wants to show off
• 17:07
  their latest and greatest? exynos 2700 i'm actually
• 17:12
  interested in trying to find a device and use
• 17:15
  one with this cpu in it and of course the s27
• 17:17
  and s27 plus will have it in there so i guess
• 17:21
  theoretically you can go to t -mobile or at t
• 17:23
  or wherever you buy one you should have it i'm
• 17:26
  interested in using one but i wonder but that
• 17:30
  but those don't sell well the ultra is samsung's
• 17:33
  baby as far as that's their flagship product
• 17:37
  this is their night shining armor is the s27
• 17:40
  ultra the ultra series phone so trust me five
• 17:46
  years from now ten years from now all samsung
• 17:48
  all samsung galaxy phones the s 36 ultra that
• 17:53
  sounds crazy we'll be running exynos i'll put
• 17:58
  my youtube channel on that like and well i guess
• 18:02
  i shouldn't say that but trust me at some point
• 18:05
  in the future Samsung wants to run their Exynos
• 18:08
  CPUs, just like Google does Tensor, just like
• 18:11
  Apple does the Bionic chip, just like Xiaomi
• 18:15
  has the X -ring. They want to run their own chip.
• 18:19
  Part, I'm not going to lie, it did cross my mind.
• 18:21
  I was like, I wonder why this is coming out now.
• 18:25
  That's part of the reason why I waited a couple
• 18:27
  hours to make this video. I wanted to sit and
• 18:29
  think and marinate on this for a minute and kind
• 18:31
  of get my mind going. Because it was going a
• 18:33
  bunch of different ways. I could see this being
• 18:35
  true. I could see this being fake. I could see
• 18:37
  this being put out there by Samsung. Suddenly
• 18:40
  it wasn't put out there by Qualcomm, right? They're
• 18:43
  like, whoa, we're catching strays over here.
• 18:45
  What are y 'all talking about? Our CPUs don't
• 18:48
  overheat. Look at OnePlus 16. Perfect reviews.
• 18:51
  Look at the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Nothing happened
• 18:53
  over there. So I believe Qualcomm, honestly,
• 18:57
  which makes me wonder, did Samsung put this out?
• 19:02
  Did somebody internally from Samsung put this
• 19:03
  out? Are they really having problems? Or are
• 19:06
  they putting this out there trying to generate
• 19:09
  problems to give them an excuse to go with their
• 19:12
  Exynos 2700? What if this is some grand scheme
• 19:15
  to finagle their way into using their own CPU
• 19:19
  in this phone? You know what I'm saying? I can
• 19:22
  see it going either way. It just makes me wonder
• 19:24
  what's going on. I have no clue, but this is
• 19:27
  getting really juicy. i guess we'll have to wait
• 19:33
  and see but that's what they're claiming that
• 19:35
  um and look it's coming down it's it's literally
• 19:38
  coming down to the last second because if these
• 19:42
  claims are true samsung is sweating bullets because
• 19:46
  i mean look they can tone it down a bit right
• 19:50
  like they can like ramp the if the claim when
• 19:54
  i when i told you about the one plus 15 story
• 19:56
  when those were overheating well by the time
• 19:59
  i got mine from the content creators reviewing
• 20:02
  theirs before launch to when i got mine that's
• 20:05
  maybe a three week or four week period it was
• 20:09
  fine well guess what there was a day one update
• 20:11
  when i pulled it out of the box with the oneplus
• 20:13
  15 and i could have tweaked the thermal management
• 20:16
  on that cpu right like this is done all the time
• 20:19
  remember that story when the iphone was it the
• 20:22
  15 or 16 series got really really hot at launch
• 20:25
  and it was a huge story well guess what they
• 20:27
  did they pushed an update and fixed it all right
• 20:30
  they tweaked the thermal management on the cpu
• 20:32
  they can ramp it down so that's why i'm i'm i'm
• 20:36
  looking at this story taking it with a little
• 20:38
  bit of grain of salt like something doesn't sound
• 20:41
  right here because they tweak these things all
• 20:45
  the time like why is this coming out now like
• 20:49
  why haven't they been able to fix this already
• 20:52
  or if that's the case because they fix stuff
• 20:56
  like this all the time like like like this is
• 20:58
  part of the process into making a smartphone
• 21:01
  right is um tweaking stuff so I'm kind of looking
• 21:07
  at this story like I don't really know what to
• 21:10
  do with this or where this is going or how true
• 21:12
  this is or who leaked it but it is getting down
• 21:16
  to crunch time because these phones are said
• 21:18
  they they had planned to move forward the release
• 21:22
  date of this s27 ultra or this s27 series so
• 21:25
  you know how lat traditionally it's been in january
• 21:27
  they released them in february last year was
• 21:30
  a little bit of delay they announced them in
• 21:32
  february february released them in march well
• 21:35
  this year they were planning on going back to
• 21:36
  their old schedule announcing in january releasing
• 21:39
  in february but if they want to stay on that
• 21:42
  schedule production has to start next month in
• 21:46
  november astus remember they're producing 12
• 21:50
  million of these i mean this is a huge like we're
• 21:55
  right on the cusp of hey samsung's like hey we
• 21:58
  got to make a decision by next week like what
• 22:01
  are we doing here that's kind of like what the
• 22:03
  story or and or some of these articles hinted
• 22:05
  at uh in a nicer way than what i put it but you
• 22:09
  know me i'm i'm on your level here i'm not a
• 22:12
  uh online public well i guess technically i am
• 22:14
  but whatever it's getting it's coming down to
• 22:18
  nut cutting time where look We got to send this
• 22:22
  off to the manufacturing plants by in nine days.
• 22:27
  What's up, Qualcomm? And that's why when that
• 22:30
  story kind of released it like that, I was like,
• 22:33
  I don't know what to do with this. But it is
• 22:38
  coming down to the last minute. So regardless
• 22:41
  if they can't figure this out or they have to
• 22:45
  make an immediate emergency meeting and, you
• 22:50
  know. maneuver a bunch of exynos 2700s to these
• 22:54
  manufacturing plants and putting them in this
• 22:56
  s27 ultra boy what a way to introduce your exynos
• 23:00
  cpu you want to talk about sink or swim here's
• 23:04
  your time go throw you in the pool and see if
• 23:07
  you you can swim i guess that's not out of the
• 23:11
  realm of possibilities to be honest with you
• 23:13
  i just don't know where this is coming from and
• 23:16
  again i don't want to repeat myself but something's
• 23:19
  kind of fishy with this story certainly not coming
• 23:22
  from qualcomm uh but it does smell a little fishy
• 23:26
  i'm not gonna lie it does smell a little fishy
• 23:31
  so just be prepared i'm not gonna say uh this
• 23:35
  is nonsense i'm not gonna say y 'all they're
• 23:38
  gonna go with with qualcomm there's something
• 23:40
  behind this and i don't know what but i'm gonna
• 23:43
  keep my eye on this story subscribe to esim studios
• 23:46
  because i'm going to keep you updated on this
• 23:48
  i'm going to keep a very very close eye on this
• 23:51
  and i know i do have a bunch of samsung users
• 23:54
  on this channel including myself i'm going to
• 23:56
  be interested in this to see where they go with
• 23:58
  this and to be honest with you i would i prefer
• 24:02
  qualcomm over exynos that's just me but let's
• 24:07
  say they did go with exynos and let's say it
• 24:12
  was a last -ditch effort. They can't work it
• 24:15
  out with Qualcomm. They got to make some tweaks
• 24:16
  behind the scenes, and they put the Exynos 2700
• 24:19
  in this S27 Ultra. Look, if it performs well,
• 24:25
  you're not going to hear any complaints from
• 24:27
  me. Honestly, I don't have a problem with Exynos
• 24:31
  if it performs like the Qualcomm variant, meaning
• 24:36
  if it's right up there with... the very best
• 24:38
  qualcomm chip it performs well it does not overheat
• 24:41
  i'll use it i don't have a problem i just always
• 24:46
  on xmos because they've used they they have a
• 24:49
  history of sucking but if they turn it around
• 24:52
  more power to samsung i don't have a problem
• 24:55
  with that so we'll have to now could go the other
• 25:00
  way what if they put the xms 2700 in this s27
• 25:03
  ultra and it blows oh we are gonna tear them
• 25:07
  a new pause We are going to roast them forever.
• 25:14
  So Samsung knows this. They're smart. Samsung
• 25:17
  knows this, right? They watch these channels.
• 25:20
  They know their own history. So they're on thin
• 25:24
  ice. Oh, this is getting good. Stay tuned. I'm
• 25:30
  going to cover lots of this for you. Peace.
