Interesting. Samsung making a bold move here, but one that could make sense.

Samsung uses their competitors chips? Kinda weird to see

What, how is Qualcomm competing with Samsung?

Apple uses Samsung hardware, btw.

Samsung make exynos chips which are arm. But Samsung even uses qualcomm in their phones in other regions so it's not unusual

Exynos are subpar to Qualcomm arm chips, or at least they were not so far ago.

Not sure what you mean, they've always used Snapdragons? The S23 from 2023 uses one, and the S3 from 2012 uses them in some models, and most galaxies between those do as well.
