In India, Samsung’s next top smartphone, the Galaxy S22 series, is no longer to use an Exynos SoC. Samsung is reportedly changing its strategy to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoCs in more markets rather than its own Exynos SoCs. This will be the first time Samsung uses a Snapdragon chip in its flagship handsets in India.
The decision modification now means it would provide the Samsung Galaxy S22 series with Qualcomm’s alleged Snapdragon 898 SoC to users in Asia and Africa. Because it already uses Qualcomm SoCs in the US, its flagships in Europe and Korea will still use Exynos SoCs. The corporation may divulge the actual rationale for this decision change after its products are released.
Users should be pleased with the potential of additional Samsung flagships powered by Qualcomm CPUs. While Samsung’s Exynos SoCs can compete with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragons in terms of performance, heat management, and battery economy, the latter has a stronger track record.
This year, a shuffle was in the cards. Samsung has already revealed that their next-generation flagship chipset, the rumored Exynos 2200, will include an AMD RDNA2 generation GPU. The Samsung Galaxy S22 to have capabilities like VRS and ray tracing. This might have a huge impact on mobile gaming and what developers can accomplish with the extra features.
It’s unclear if Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon CPU will support ray-tracing graphics. Given Qualcomm’s dominant position in Android’s flagship smartphone market, it will be interesting to see how this plays out — and whether Samsung provides any explanation.
