Scarred by the Snapdragon 810’s overheating issues? You’re not the only one — but it’s not something we’ll have to worry about with the Snapdragon 820, thanks to Samsung.

The South Korean company has today confirmed that it will manufacture Qualcomm’s latest flagship using its cutting-edge 14-nanometer manufacturing process — the same process used to make its own impressive Exynos 7420.

The Galaxy S7’s new design, which takes cues from last year’s Galaxy Note 5, has been revealed early in an apparent leaked design video. The device has a curved glass back, but doesn’t too dissimilar to its predecessor at first glance.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 820 chipset, which is a significant improvement over the Snapdragon 810 in almost every way, could be exclusive to Samsung at first.

A new report claims the South Korean company has agreed a deal that provides it with exclusive rights to the chip until April 2016, preventing rival device makers from using it before then.
