Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been the subject of numerous leaks and rumors in the last 48 hours. Ahead of the next Galaxy Unpacked Event in January 2022, there had been a flurry of leaks and renders related to the Galaxy S22 lineup. The latest rumor is that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be powered by either Qualcomm or Exynos chipsets.
Previously, it had been speculated that only Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips will be present in the Galaxy S22 series. This much was leaked by a former Samsung employee. Another tipster then hinted that some regions will indeed see the Exynos 2200 in their Galaxy S22 models. It will seem that both leaks revealed one aspect of the matter.
A news item from Korea has revealed that Samsung will use both the Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200 chips in the new Galaxy S22 series. Obviously, in line with its tradition, Samsung will offer Snapdragon-equipped models to customers in the US, while Europe, South Korea, and other regions will be getting the Exynos 2200 versions of the same models. Samsung’s decision on different chipsets globally has attracted lots of flak from several quarters. However, the company has weathered the storm and now has a strong partnership with AMD aimed at strengthening the Exynos chips that will adorn its smartphones.
Geekbench performance numbers for the Snapdragon 898 and the Exynos 2200 are expected not to be significantly different. Another leak has indicated though that Exynos-equipped Galaxy S22 models may lag behind Snapdragon-equipped models in graphics, although the claim is not definitive.
