This week, Qualcomm has revealed its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, on the same day as Apple.

The chip giant said its revenues hit the $7.1 / €6.28 billion mark with a net income calculated to be $2.1 / €1.86 billion. That being said, the chipmaker also mentioned it would be lowering its outlook for the second half of fiscal 2015.

Snapdragon 810 is to be left out of one major flagship this spring

One of the reasons given is that Qualcomm expects the Snapdragon 810 chip not to make it into a major upcoming consumer flagship.

Oops, so the cat is out of the bag. By all accounts, Samsung is the company that won’t be needing the services of the Snapdragon 810 anymore, as the Korean tech giant has been said to be relying on its own 14nm Exynos 7420 processor for its upcoming Galaxy S6.

Putting aside rumors of overheating, the Snapdragon 810 won’t probably make it into the Galaxy S6 because Samsung wants to power it exclusively using its own home-grown Exynos platform, in an attempt to spread out into the silicone market as much as it can.

Qualcomm will still deliver to LG, Xiaomi and more

The Snapdragon 810 has already been announced to be powering the LG G Flex 2, which will go on sale soon and the Xioami Mi Note Pro, whose launch date we don’t really know.

LG has done its part in supporting the Snapdragon 810 saying it’s the least overheating chip they have ever stumbled upon. So it’s pretty obvious that overheating concerns aren't what prompted Samsung to go all Exynos with the Galaxy S6.

On the bright side of things, Samsung fans don’t really seem to be bothered by the company’s new outlook on things. As showed in a comparison with the Snapdragon 810, the Exynos 7420 seems to outperform the Qualcomm chip in benchmark tests.

So you probably won’t be disappointed with your Exynos-based Galaxy S6.
