Samsung is rumoured to launch the Galaxy S22 series early next year. It isn’t a surprise rumour as the company typically hosts an Unpacked event in January or February 2022. The South Korean tech giant is expected to launch three new flagship phones, which include the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and an Ultra model. Design renders and even live images of the devices have surfaced online in the recent past. As we get closer to the rumoured February 8 launch event, some key details around the performance unit have leaked. According to a new report, Samsung will ditch Exynos in favour of the Snapdragon 898 SoC for the global market.
Samsung Galaxy S22 series with Snapdragon all the way?
The South Korean giant has launched its previous flagship devices with a mix of Snapdragon and Exynos chips for different regions. The US market got the Galaxy S21 series with a Snapdragon 888 SoC, whereas other regions, including India and Samsung’s home country South Korea, got the Exynos 2100 SoC-powered models. While Samsung did play catch up with Exynos 2100, it does fall behind when compared to Snapdragon 888 SoC. Reports now claim that the company is therefore planning to launch a Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S22 series worldwide. LetsGoDigital and YouTuber Super Roader claim that all regions, including Europe and Asia, will get the Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S22 series next year.
