Why would Samsung own flagship chip perform worse than qualcoms? Wouldn't it be in Samsung's interest to either use an inferior version of the snapdragon or throttle it?

They still need a competitive offering against other Android manufacturers at the high end.

Xiaomi and others are happy to buy Qualcomm chips if it gives them the high end advantage

I don't understand, in the US Samsung uses Qualcomm but it is the US where a lot of these Chinese phones are not available yet in Europe where I can buy a Huawei phone Samsung uses Exynos.

To be honest, I also do not get Samsung's strategy. None of my tech literate friends in europe would buy Samsung because of this. I really wonder how much it impacts their sales.

This is because of old contracts and agreements, including patent agreements for LTE modem etc
