South Korean manufacturing giant, Samsung, will officially commence mass production of parts for the Galaxy S22 in November. Looking at the schedule and previous practices, this flagship series will officially arrive in January 2022. We know that each generation of the Galaxy S series will be the first flagship to use the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series flagship processors. Although the Galaxy S22 may not be the first, it will be one of the earliest to use this chip. The next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series flagship chip, Snapdragon 898, will probably launch at the end of 2021.
In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be available in some markets with its Exynos 2200 chip, which integrates AMD GPU. From the reports so far, the performance of this chip will lock horns with the Snapdragon 898 SoC. Furthermore, the Samsung Exynos 2200 will use its RDNA2 graphics micro-architecture, which is the technology used in PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and AMD Radeon RX graphics cards.
