Samsung
Processor—Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3 nm)

Samsung quotes 40% NPU, 37% CPU and 30% GPU gains over the previous generation. This version is tuned for Galaxy with higher clocks than the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Cooling—Vapor chamber 40% larger than before; new thermal interface material (TIM)

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip into the body, helping clocks hold longer in extended gaming.

Frame—Titanium

Titanium is used only on the frame, excluding the volume and side keys.
