The news comes from @Tech_Reve, who claims that AMD, Samsung, and Qualcomm have chosen to collaborate on the FSR in order to take on NVIDIA’s DLSS and Apple’s MetalFX upscaling technology. Based on the available information, it appears that future smartphones from Samsung and Qualcomm will include FSR technologies, as AMD already uses them in their laptops and desktops. This partnership makes sense.

Samsung new phones to Feature Dedicated Gaming Chip FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) details

According to recent speculations, AMD is directly collaborating with Qualcomm and Samsung to bring FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) to smartphones, which means AMD’s AI upscaling technology may power Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 handsets.

Since Samsung uses AMD‘s RDNA GPU IP for its mobile Exynos chips, the two companies are already collaborating, thus it makes sense that their relationship would develop to include FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) functionality on smartphones. For its new Snapdragon 8 Gen3 SoC, which is intended for use in high-end laptops and smartphones, Qualcomm will leverage AMD’s FSR technology. Everyone benefits from it.

Ray tracing functionality for AMD FSR technology may be added to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 handsets, which are expected to use this technology “in the future.” With support for ray tracing and FSR, Samsung and Qualcomm will be able to more effectively compete with Apple on its upcoming iPhone 2024 smartphone—at least for mobile gamers.

By employing AI to produce more high-quality frames and improve image quality by adding more pixels, the development of FSR for mobile might potentially transform gaming.

We’ll need to wait for an official announcement from Samsung and its partners to gain a better idea of how this technology will function on smartphones. One thing is for sure: FSR may be one of the interesting new AI capabilities that Samsung has planned for the Galaxy S24 series. The company has big intentions to add a lot of new features to these phones.
