Comment on Outside the US? Then you’ll be getting worse versions of the Google Pixel 8 and iPhone 15
infeeeee@lemm.ee 1 year agoThere were examples when the same phone was released with different hardware in different regions, but it’s not mentioned in the article…
Last time I remember, Samsung S22 European version had Exynos 2200 SOC, while in other regions it had Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, IIRC there were some performance differences between them.

Hasn’t Samsung done that for a while?

For S23 there is only one Worldwide version with Snapdragon. They had separate versions since S7.

Since the S7? Not at all - they’ve been doing that much earlier. The Galaxy Note 3 was Exynos based in India and some other regions, but Snapdragon based in the US and Europe.

It’s been a common thing for years from all major phone manufacturers, as far as I know. It was the reason I careful when buying a One Plus 7 Pro back in the day.
