Exclusive games will be released for foldable Galaxy Samsung, apparently, also wants to turn its smartphones into more gaming solutions, following the example of Apple. To do this, the Korean giant has enlisted the support of such giants as Epic Games and Krafton. [caption id="attachment_64748" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Starting yesterday, Samsung Gaming Task Force teams began working in different countries. More precisely, such teams were formed in South Korea, Great Britain, China, and Ukraine. Samsung specialists will work together with developers and publishers from Epic Games, Krafton, NCSoft, Nexon, Smilegate, Kakao Games, and Pearl Abyss. Samsung wants to follow Apple's lead in turning its foldable smartphones into gaming consoles. Interestingly, this entire project is supposedly aimed exclusively at foldable smartphones. At least the Hankyung resource says that we are talking about developing new and optimizing existing games only for foldable smartphones Galaxy Z. Considering that foldable smartphones are still very far from the dominant generation in Samsung sales, this decision looks somewhat strange. Global shipments of foldable smartphones are expected to increase 37.7% next year to 25.2 million units, according to TrendForce. There is a high probability that deliveries will exceed 70 million in 2027. But this is the total sales of all brands. But the choice of companies for cooperation is as obvious as possible. Let us remember that Epic Games developed the super-popular Fortnite, and Krafton is responsible for PUBG. Let us remember that Apple, with its iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, also focused on games, announcing ports of full-fledged console and computer games. It is also worth remembering recent data that Samsung is preparing a gaming service exclusively for its devices. We are likely talking about the above project.

But the competitors of the Galaxy S24 will be built on the much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 According to rumors, Samsung will use its own Exynos 2400 single-chip system in the latest flagships Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus, and only the Galaxy S24 Ultra will receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The Exynos 2400 premiere may take place today, but the result of the first test of the platform has already appeared on the Internet, and, judging by it, the new Samsung platform will not even reach the level of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. [caption id="attachment_63778" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung, is this a flagship platform? True, so far there is only a test of the Exynos 2400 GPU. In the Powerboard 4.0 benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy S24 built on the Exynos 2400 scored 1656 points, and the Galaxy S23 scored 1746 points in the same benchmark. [caption id="attachment_63779" align="aligncenter" width="541"] Samsung[/caption] Yes, you can make an allowance for the fact that the final version of the Exynos 2400 has not yet been tested, but we are talking about future flagships that will receive a much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. So the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus may be noticeably inferior in performance compared to other top 2024 models.
