We already have Motorola smartphones with Exynos processors and now reports suggest that Samsung is also building a custom Exynos chipset together with Google for future Pixel smartphones.

As we said earlier, Samsung has cleared the air and reaffirmed that the Exynos 990 is as powerful as Snapdragon 865. “The Galaxy S20 is a smartphone that has been reinvented to change the way it experiences the world and, depending on the region, the Galaxy S20 will ship with the Exynos 990 or Snapdragon 865. Both Exynos and Snapdragon processors go through the same rigorous and rigorous real-life test scenarios to deliver consistent and optimal performance throughout the phone’s lifecycle. smart, “Samsung told Sammobile in a statement.
