Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in India

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be launched worldwide on February 9. Samsung will release three new flagship devices: the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. Samsung is expected to launch its flagship smartphones in India soon after the global unveiling. According to a recent leak, the devices will be released in India in March 2022. A new leak from PriceBaba and tipster Ishan Agarwal has surfaced online while we wait for the official launch date to be confirmed.

In India, Samsung may surprise customers by releasing the S22 series with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. For years, the company has been releasing flagship models in India with an Exynos processor. The S22 series, on the other hand, may be the first Samsung flagship smartphone in India to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship processor in years.

Both the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoCs have a 1+3+4 architecture and are manufactured at 4nm. However, over time, the Exynos variant has lagged behind its Snapdragon counterpart in terms of performance and efficiency. Continuous component shortages, which may have hampered the production of the Exynos 2200, could be one reason for the Snapdragon variant’s release.

Samsung has not released any information about the Snapdragon variant that will be available in India. As a result, it’s best to hold off on the official unveiling of the devices for a few days.
