- According to a new rumor, the Samsung Galaxy S22 India launch could include Snapdragon-based models.
- This would mean Indian buyers wouldn’t get Exynos 2200 variants, at least not at first.
- The phones launch on February 9, so we’ll find out if this is true soon enough.
For most launches of new Samsung flagships, buyers in India have had to deal with Exynos-based devices. While flagship Exynos chips are certainly not terrible, they usually are weaker in multiple respects when compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips.
This year, though, things might be a little different. According to a new rumor originating from Ishan Agarwal (via PriceBaba), the Samsung Galaxy S22 India launch could include Snapdragon models. If this pans out, it would mean Indian buyers could grab a Galaxy S22 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 under the hood.
