Samsung to discontinue Galaxy S20 FE Exynos 990, probably after realising that Snapdragon version is better

Speculations indicate that Samsung will completely shift to Snapdragon 865 processors for the Galaxy S20 FE going forward. The move will mark a major transition from the company's usual preference of Exynos processors for its devices.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy S20 FE to the world last year in two variants supporting 4G and 5G connectivity each. While the former is powered by Exynos 990, the 5G variant, introduced in India recently, is backed by a Snapdragon 865 processor. A new speculation now says that the company might completely shift to the latter for the mid-range smartphone. The rumour is fueled by a recent tweet by a noted tipster. Taking to Twitter, @IceUniverse wrote that Samsung will stick to the Snapdragon “865+” version for the Galaxy S20 FE going forward. In doing so, it will stop the production of the variant with the Exynos 990 chipset. If and when the company decides to do so, the move will mark an interesting twist in Samsung’s production plans. Buyers have often complained of having only one option of processors for Samsung smartphones, usually depending upon the region.
