Samsung has overtaken Apple to regain its lead of the U.S. smartphone market following strong sales of the Galaxy S6. The South Korean company’s latest smartphone became the third best-selling smartphone in its first full month on sale, trailing only the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5.

Following overheating headaches with its latest Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm will reportedly switch manufacturers for its next-generation Snapdragon 820.

Samsung has been chosen to build the chipset using its new 14-nanometer manufacturing process, a new report claims, and it will do so with custom CPU cores that will deliver speeds of up to 3GHz.

Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 has beaten out the iPhone 6 and other flagship rivals in a “real-world” performance test. The device came first in six out of nine challenges, which tested for things like Wi-Fi speed, camera load time, gaming performance, and video editing.

Samsung’s samey marketing team is back with another ad for the new Galaxy S6 and S6 edge that again picks on the iPhone. This time, it’s for the lack of wireless charging, which comes built-in on the South Korean company’s latest devices.
