Forbes: No Snapdragon 835 for the LG G6 as Samsung's Galaxy S8 needs whole initial supply


​

According to a fresh report from Forbes, the LG G6, which should be officially announced in late February at MWC 2017 and released in March, won't be powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 processor (as widely expected). Instead, it's been "confirmed" by "an industry insider" that the handset will be based on last year's Snapdragon 821 - that's still a very potent chipset, but it's no match for the 835.

Forbes notes that the Snapdragon 835 isn't going to be available in large quantities before April, because Samsung will use it for its Galaxy S8 flagship phone, making it "out of reach" for other manufacturers. The publication has it that the S8 will be released on April 14 in South Korea. Apparently, most of Samsung's competitors, starting with LG, are being forced to rely on other processors if they want to launch high-end phones before April.

As you may know, Qualcomm developed the Snapdragon 835 in collaboration with Samsung. This kind of entitles Samsung to make sure it won't run into supply shortages for its next-gen flagship handset, incidentally hurting other companies. HTC, which recently announced the Snapdragon 821-based U Ultra, likely faced the same problem that LG is.

Not long ago, LG implied that the G6 would be an "ideal smartphone", offering features like water resistance and a large display with 1440 x 2880 pixels. Do you think the handset can be ideal if it's using a Snapdragon 821 chipset instead of the newer and faster Snapdragon 835?

But we'll never get a phone which is made in Finland or Hungary

For starters, the Exynos chip is actually made by Samsung, the Snapdragon by Qualcomm. There's obvious cost savings involved in making your own chips, but a lot of it also has to do with markets and existing support. The Exynos chips usually make their way to Asia while Europe and North America get Snapdragon variants, although sometimes these things change. For example, the European Galaxy S3 was the Exynos variant and the Galaxy Note series brings Exynos chips to the US.

Part of the reason is to do with the supply chain. Samsung is easily the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world by volume, and making chips to satisfy Samsung's demands could easily be the sole focus of a chip-maker. Likewise, dependency plays a part too: if there's problems at Qualcomm, Samsung can step in and equip a market with Exynos chips.

The split also allows Samsung to attack the market on two fronts and establish what works best and why. Not to mention that there is reportedly an existing contract between Samsung and Qualcomm that both sides are still committed to. In any case, it is unlikely that Samsung could produce enough Exynos chips for all of their devices even if they weren't tied to Qualcomm.
