Perhaps the use of Exynos processor in Galaxy S6 instead of Snapdragon 810 chip may not be as a result of the overheating issues. However, it might be because, Samsung wants a war with the world’s renowned mobile processor designing company, and also to lead chip making industry with its better-quality 14 nm fabrication process.
Samsung is Ditching Snapdragon 810 Processor For Reasons More Than 'Heating' Issues
Well, according to Korean media and alleged industrial sources, both Snapdragon 810 and Exynos7420 are outfitted within flagship phones. However, for now, Samsung is sticking to Exynos 7420 in Galaxy S6 and Qualcomm is in business with Xiaomi Mi Note and LG G Flex 2.
