The publication claims that this decision has been made to prevent the price of the flagship from skyrocketing, as a recent report indicates that the price of the next Snapdragon 875 will be more than 50 percent higher than the Snapdragon 865 that powers the Galaxy S20 series.
Reportedly, the high price of Samsung’s latest flagship is already postponing buyers and a further increase would only make matters worse. It doesn’t help that Apple has been constantly lowering the starting price of its phones and It is expected to do the same this year.
Alternatively, Samsung could review its strategy this year and equip more of its flagships with the rumored Exynos 1000 processor, which will reportedly be three times faster than the Snapdragon 865. Until the chip is released and tested, it is hard to believe that statement. , given the performance gap between the Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865.
But Samsung seems to have eaten half of the Snapdragon 865+ processor.

Therefore, we are pretty sure that Samsung would not keep the Snapdragon 865 for the Galaxy S21 (S30).
However, what seems likely is that the reduced version of the phone will be powered by the chip. The company has already launched a Light version of the Galaxy S10 and is expected to do the same for the Galaxy S20. And curiously, the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition 5G / Galaxy S20 Lite 5G is designed to come with the Snapdragon 865, giving us more reason to believe that the Galaxy S21 (S30) would not use aging silicon.
