The Samsung Galaxy S22 spec list is already starting to shape an idea of what can be expected for the device.
A recent report from Lanzuk indicates that the rumored Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chip will be used as the main chip to run the Galaxy S22 series over Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 chip, which is powered by AMD. The Exynos 2200 chip is expected to be used in Galaxy S22 handsets in only select regions due to production issues.
However, Samsung will still have its hands in the development of Qualcomm’s 2022 flagship chip, as reports say the component will be a collaborative effort between the semiconductor manufacturer, Samsung SLSI and TSMC.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 as Samsung Chip
The chip, which is using the model number SM8450, according to several sources, including Digital Chat Station, MyDrivers, and Evan Blass will be made using the 4nm process node, allowing the chips to focus on greater power and energy efficiency. Reports claim the chip should provide a 20 percent greater performance in comparison to the Snapdragon 888 flagship that is powering current flagships on the market.
Some reports have referred to the chip as the Snapdragon 895, but most reports have been using the name Snapdragon 898. There is also word of a Snapdragon 898 Plus model, which would likely have a higher clock speed.
The chip is expected to be based on the ARM v9 mobile architecture, which includes the Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 cores for efficiently dealing with heavy tasks and maintaining substantial battery lite. It also includes an Adreno 730 GPU for steady gaming upgrades and is expected to excel in areas, including camera and AI.
The component may be announced in December and might be in smartphones before the end of the year or by January 2022. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, the Qualcomm chip may power the Xiaomi Mi 12, OnePlus 10, and the Oppo Find X4, according to various media reports.

According to Twitter leakster, TrontTron, the standard model is expected to feature a 6.06-inch LTPS display and a 3,800 mAh battery, the Galaxy S22 Plus a 6.55-inch LTPS display and a 4,600 battery, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra a 6.81-inch LTPO display and a 5,000 battery.
The standard and Galaxy S22 Plus will have the same triple rear camera with a 50-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a quad rear camera with a 108-megapixel wide-angle lens, two 12-megapixel telephoto lenses, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
The devices are expected to have the same RAM and storage configurations as their counterparts in the Galaxy S21 series.
