At the end of December 2021, Samsung Exynos released a twee saying that it will be announcing the next Exynos chip featuring AMD’s RDNA2 GPU on Jan. 11. The date has passed and there was no announcement from the brand and the tweet has also been deleted. According to tipster Ice Universe, the South Korean company has postponed the launch of Exynos 2200.
Samsung is known for releasing flagship phones with Snapdragon and Exynos chips in different markets. The upcoming Galaxy S22 lineup is also expected to arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 depending on the region. However, it is now unclear whether the company will be announcing Exynos 2200 powered S22 lineup.
At present, there is no new update from Samsung Exynos on the arrival of the Exynos 2200. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S21 series of smartphones on Jan. 14. Two days before the announcement, the brand had unleashed the Exynos 2100 chip. Hence, there is a possibility that the Exynos 2200 chip may go official in February.
The South Korean media recently reportedly that the Galaxy Unpacked event for the S22 lineup will be held on Feb. 8. Hence, it is likely that the Exynos 2200 may break cover before the launch of the S22 lineup. The report also claimed that the sales of the S22 models will begin on Feb. 24.
What’s surprising is that a Korean tipster the S22 series will debut without the Exynos chip. According to the leaker, the Galaxy S22 series heading to South Korea, the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East will be equipped with the Snapdragon chip. He added that the Exynos 2200 variants may arrive later and possibly in other markets.
