In essence, FSR is a PC-grade technology, so Samsung bringing it to its phones could be a game-changer. We don’t know how FSR 2 will work on smartphones yet, and there is no official confirmation from any of the companies involved.
If this turns out to be true, you could see the Galaxy S24 series incorporating the gaming technology. Samsung is expected to debut new handsets in January, if past trends are any indication.
The new flagship series could include the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra, all powered by either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC or Exynos 2400.
