The Samsung Exynos on its official twitter handle posted a teaser image suggesting that the Exynos 9 chipset is coming soon. If we take that into account, it is likely to make its debut with the Galaxy S8. As of now, it is being widely reported that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be the first to come rocking on the Snapdragon 835 chipset. However, if take Samsung’s past practices into account, it is likely to introduce an Exynos variant of the both phones as well.

Over the years, Samsung has used two different set of chipsets in its S series of phones, starting with Galaxy S6. The Qualcomm models are mainly reserved for the US market while it sells all the Exynos models in the Asian market including India. It is worth mentioning that the Exynos chipsets are Samsung’s in-house processors.
