Galaxy S22 series will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor only
In the next-generation Galaxy S22 series, Samsung will use the Exynos 2200 in Europe and South America, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in North America, mainland China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, India, and South Korea, which is also a common practice in the past Galaxy S series. According to Wccftech, the news indicates that Samsung may cancel the Exynos 2200 on the Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy S22 launch could be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-only affair. Samsung will eventually launch the Exynos 2200 though, only choosing to partner with other smartphone makers to allow them to use the next-generation SoC. It is rumored that Samsung has already contacted some manufacturers. If the Exynos 2200 is canceled, it will make the other party very uncomfortable.
In fact, it was reported last month that Samsung’s 4nm process has yield problems, and Qualcomm plans to place orders for Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips from Samsung and TSMC at the same time to diversify the supply chain and ensure the supply of chips.
