Bloomberg reports that after testing a new version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and concluding that it was also overheating Samsung has decided to ditch the processor for its upcoming flagship and go with its own Exynos processors.
While there has been no confirmation of this from Qualcomm and Samsung, this decision would deal a big blow to the chipmaker which has been a longtime partner of Samsung. The Korean company has its own chipmaking division and the Exynos processors have been advanced enough to power a flagship like the Galaxy S6.
The report doesn't say that there's no possibility of a Qualcomm-powered variant of the Galaxy S6 being released at some point later this year, but to meet its desired release window, Samsung may go with its own processors for all Galaxy S6 variants initially.
