A new rumor has suggested that Samsung Electronics does not have any plans of shifting its flagship lineup of smartphones away from its proprietary Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoCs.
For those unaware, there were rumors that had recently surfaced, which had hinted at the South Korean tech giant possibly moving to MediaTek chipsets. These Dimensity SoCs would reportedly power its upcoming Galaxy S22 FE model. Similarly, Korean media also added that the next gen Galaxy S23 series might also make the shift to MediaTek Dimensity chipsets. Since these are flagship models, the processors would be within the Dimensity 9000 series.
But a new tweet has suggested otherwise. According to Yogesh Brar, we might not be seeing a MediaTek Dimensity powered premium Samsung phone for a while now. In other words, we can still expect the brand to ship the Galaxy S22 FE or the Galaxy S23 lineup with either the Snapdragon or Exynos chipsets, depending on the market. Although, Samsung may still have future plans or could even be mulling over this decision right now. So, it’s hard to tell if it is entirely out of the picture.
However, if it does decide to make the transition, it is likely that it will replace the Snapdragon variants in favor of the Dimensity chips, rather than discontinuing its proprietary chips. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.
