We have just entered the Q2 of 2023, and rumors about next year's Galaxy S24 have already started coming in.

Still, the company has been suffering drastically due to the poor overall performance and efficiency of Exynos chipsets.

Exynos 2200, 2100, 990, and 9820 were all notorious for delivering average performance when compared to their
