Mobile games have grown at an exceptional rate in recent years – it’s really amazing to see how far phones have advanced since the days of Candy Crush, especially in terms of graphics performance. Samsung is committed to remaining a large part of this expanding market, redirecting its Galaxy Store to games and putting a new focus on launching graphics driver updates. In 2019, Samsung and AMD announced a partnership to bring Radeon technology to smartphones. Now it seems that the fruits of this partnership are almost within reach, as was suggested today during the Exynos 2100 event.

At the end of the Exynos event, Samsung showed its plans to present an AMD GPU in its “next flagship”. Now, the text here is a little ambiguous. Samsung’s next flagship product is obviously the Galaxy S21, and we know that these phones not contain AMD graphics hardware. If so, what is Samsung’s future flagship product?

According to the Ice Universe leaker, the 2100 announced today is just the beginning, and a future chipset, complete with an AMD GPU, will be launched this year and could reach the Galaxy Z Fold3. I have to say that the idea of ​​carrying a phone in my pocket that can unfold on a gaming tablet with AMD technology excites me – mobile games have gone beyond graphics limits more than many of us expected on current hardware, it will be interesting to see what developers will do when this powerful new technology arrives.
