Qualcomm has been in the midst of problems with its Snapdragon 810 processor and the company has now revealed that the chip will not land in one major smartphone flagship this year. During the company’s solid fiscal first quarter 2015 earnings call, the company said the "expectation that our Snapdragon 810 processor will not be in the upcoming design cycle of a large customer's flagship device."
That could possibly mean Samsung has decided to use its own Exynos processors in the upcoming Galaxy S6. There have been reports that the Snapdragon 810 is overheating, prompting Samsung to apparently delay its Galaxy S6. Qualcomm then reportedly said it would give Samsung a bespoke version of the 810, but LG reacted angrily and said it would sue Qualcomm as it had already announced a Snapdragon 810 packing device, the G Flex 2.
Judging by Qualcomm’s words, Samsung has decided to back away and use its Exynos chipsets, at least for the bulk of S6’s.
