For the first time in years, it seems European and Global owners of Samsung's next-gen flagship will get the same hardware as markets like North America, with a Samsung Galaxy S23 model now appearing on Geekbench bearing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a model number that denotes it as a European model. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S23-Geekbench-listing-seemingly-confirms-a-Snapdragon-8-Gen-2-for-European-models.668859.0.html
Apparently someone didn't get a memo that non-European and American S22 models (i.e. Asia) did get a Snapdragon variant.
