More Samsung Galaxy-branded smartphones now use MediaTek chipsets than ever before. However, these chips are either entry-level or mid-range models. This is going to change soon as a rumor now says that the South Korean electronics giant is gearing up to launch a handset powered by MediaTek’s latest flagship mobile SoC.

According to a Chinese tipster on Weibo (via SamMobile), Samsung is working on a smartphone powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC. This phone will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery.

He does not know the market name of the device. But he does say that the handset could be either Galaxy A53 Pro or Galaxy S22 FE. The former sounds unbelievable as there would be a huge performance between the Pro and the vanilla model. But the latter could be a possibility.

Also, it is worth noting that usually Samsung experiments with new features on its Galaxy A series. Hence, this phone could be some high-end Galaxy A lineup model instead of Galaxy S22 FE. 

That said, If this rumor is true, then we are looking forward to learning more about the Dimensity 9000-powered Samsung Galaxy smartphone in the coming days. But ahead of that, the company will be debuting its first Dimesnity 900 phone called Galaxy M53 5G on March 27.
