Just like for the S20 line, Samsung might ditch the Exynos 990 chip for Qualcomm's offering on the Note20 Ultra sold in South Korea. The phone will most likely sport a Snapdragon 865+ chip.
Samsung could be using the Exynos 992 chip based on its 6nm fab on the Galaxy Note20 sold in Korea. The chip will offer better thermal performance than the Exynos 990 found inside the Galaxy S20.
Samsung's decision to launch the Snapdragon 865-variant of the Galaxy S20 series in South Korea took the company's employees by surprise and the LSI division behind the Exynos 990 felt humiliated.
In a new Change.org petition, nearly 20,000 Samsung fans have signed to demonstrate that they want the company to stop using its in-house Exynos chipsets in its flagship Galaxy phones.
Samsung has introduced its new Exynos 990 with support for a 120Hz display refresh-rate. The 5G Exynos Modem 5123 is also in tow for future 5G demands. Production for both starts later this year.
