Samsung’s annual flagship Galaxy S22 is being held back by processing chips. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s poor heat dissipation performance, coupled with Exynos’s unsatisfactory performance, failed to narrow the gap in the face of Apple’s A-series iPhone chips, which is rumored to be Samsung’s plan to reverse the situation.
The Korean media “BusinessKorea” first pointed out that Samsung may switch to MediaTek chips. In the past, only mid-range phones were used, and the flagship models were fixed using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series, and a small number of them were their own Exynos. At present, it is rumored that the Galaxy S22 FE, which will be released in the second half of the year, will switch to MediaTek’s Dimensity chip, and next year’s S23 may also continue. It is rumored that more than half of the models will be the MediaTek version.
In addition, Samsung also seems to be planning to move towards “self-developed chips”. Korean media “iNews24” reported that Samsung President Lu Taiwen unexpectedly revealed that Samsung is building a new mobile processor in the face of the recent outbreak of the “speed-down gate”, which will be exclusively used by Galaxy mobile phones. The development progress and specifications are not yet available. learned.
Although Samsung Semiconductor of the same group has launched Exynos chips, it is not exclusive to Galaxy mobile phones. It will still sell to other mobile phone brands like Qualcomm and MediaTek. For example, vivo has used Exynos mid-to-high-end chips. The exclusive chip may mean that Samsung will redesign the architecture and not use the public version provided by ARM, similar to the Tensor created by Google, especially to strengthen AI and image capabilities.
