Samsung to ship Galaxy S22 line solely with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, no Exynos 2200
Samsung’s Exynos processor hasn’t received much attention from its users due to its relatively low performance over its Snapdragon companions. Disliking the poor performance, users have urged Samsung to offer future Galaxy devices with Snapdragon processors worldwide.
It looks like Samsung has listened to the users and now it is planning to launch the upcoming Galaxy phones with Snapdragon processors all over the world. A piece of new information reveals that the forthcoming Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra will feature Snapdragon chips in all countries.

Previously, there were reports that Samsung will introduce its new Exynos 2200 chipset and the Galaxy S22 series will be the first to use it. Meanwhile, as per tipster Ahmed Qwaider, Samsung has dropped this plan and is looking to put Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor inside Galaxy S22 Ultra everywhere.
It seems a piece of good news for Samsung fans, especially for those who belong to Asia, Europe, and Latin America as they usually get the Exynos version of Note and S series phones.

To be mentioned, both the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 use one Cortex-X2 core, three Cortex-A710 cores, and four Cortex-A510 cores, and both are built using Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process. But, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s Adreno GPU is reportedly more powerful than Exynos 2200’s AMD RDNA2-based GPU.
Moving on, Samsung Exynos 2200 was officially scheduled to launch on January 11, 2022, however, this hasn’t happened. And, it the company might not introduce it for a few months now. Right now, we can’t clarify when the makers will release this chipset and which phone will use it.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Price and Release
The S25 Plus could come with a starting price of $1000 in the US. The phone’s 512GB storage model could cost you nearly $120 extra with 12GB RAM. The company could unveil the new flagships sometime in January next year.
Samsung may launch its first tri-fold smartphone in 2025. Following the launch of Huawei Mate XT, industry sources and Korean media outlets reported that Honor will also be entering the tri-fold device market.
Recently, Korean leaker yeux1122 claimed that Samsung is developing the Galaxy Z Fold with a tri-fold screen, which is likely to release the device as early as 2025.
Unlike the Mate XT, Samsung’s tri-fold could use a dual inward-folding hinge. The different design approach will allow for an independent external screen.
This redesign will enhance the phone’s usability and multitasking capabilities. Notably, foldable displays generally work as both the main and cover screen.
This year, Samsung’s phone lineup has been relatively subdued. The company acknowledged that changes to its product lineup are gradual, but it has promised significant changes next year.
Other reports have made similar claims, stating that a three-screen Galaxy Fold is in development, suggesting Samsung is taking its foldable technology in a new direction.
The development of folding panels is advancing rapidly, with more vendors entering the competition. It seems Samsung may be preparing for a big leap forward in the foldable market.
Apart from this, the source pointed out that a Special Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is in development, and it is expected to launch alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Many significant upgrades from Samsung are anticipated in 2025, as it is also mentioned that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be released together with the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Samsung Galaxy S25 will launch in early 2025 with new specifications including an improved display, new display, optimized battery life, new software features, and more. This standard Galaxy S25 offers different capabilities including the following.
