Tipster Tron, citing a Clien report, stated that Samsung is likely to launch the Galaxy S22 series with the next Snapdragon 8-series flagship processor. Dubbed Snapdragon 898 SoC, the processor will be used in flagship devices next year. Samsung has been launching its premium Galaxy S-series phones with its in-house Exynos chipsets. The current-generation Galaxy S21 series also features the Exynos 2100 SoC. Although powerful, the Exynos chips aren’t as powerful and efficient as Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.

Samsung is yet to take the final call, which is likely to be confirmed when it gets closer to the launch. The upcoming Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus are rumoured to feature a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom. The Ultra model could feature the newly unveiled 200MP ISOCELL HP1 camera sensor.
