Analysts say Samsung can't ditch Snapdragon so fast
Firstly, analysts say, the Snapdragon 810's overheating was a long-present issue, but one which Qualcomm have already resolved. The mishap caused the company to delay mass production by an approximate of 2 - 3 months, but now, all is ready.
Furthermore, Sammy only uses its Exynos chipsets in 20 percent of its smartphone line, which means it will most probably need a heavy boost of SoC production, if it is to swap Snapdragon chips out of its phones. Such a reverse is "almost impossible" to do in such a fast manner, Tim Long of BMO Capital Markets says.
Well, there you have it – more conflict and more differing opinions. What do you think – could Samsung really be ditching the Snapdragon 810? We can't say we buy it...
