When is the Exynos 2200 Launch?
As per a report byBusiness Korea, Samsung is most likely to introduce the Exynos 2200SoC at the time of the Galaxy S22 serieslaunch, which is expected to happen on February 8. While there’s no word on the reason for the delay, Samsung has confirmed that it isn’t because the chipset has issues. It suggests that there are no problems with the production or performance of the SoC.

Although, ever since Samsung decided to not launch Exynos 2200 on January 11, speculations are rife that the Galaxy S22 series won’t be powered by an Exynos chipset after all. It was suggested that the Korean, European, and US versions of the phones will be powered by theQualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform.
TheBusiness Koreareport, however, suggests that the Galaxy S22 lineup in Europe and Korea will get the Exynos 2200 SoC, while the China, India, and North America units will go for the Snapdragon counterpart. This might be good news for many, considering that the chipsets have usually had an edge over the Exynos ones!
That said, you must know that Samsung hasn’t directly revealed any details on its plans for Exynos 2200. Hence, it would be best to take these details with a grain of salt and wait for an official word.
Whatever the case is, we shall know the situation pretty soon. Hence, stay tuned for further information.
