Samsung’s flagship phones have always used Snapdragon chips, or its own Exynos chips, but according to sources, the South Korean tech giant, may be equipped with MediaTek (MediaTek) chips in its next flagship phones.
MediaTek chips in flagships?
According to BusinessKorea, Samsung is considering using MediaTek chips in the Galaxy S22 FE and some Galaxy S23 models. According to the report, these MediaTek chips will cover half of the demand in Asia.
However, it is still not known whether the company will allocate the brand of chips in a “hybrid chip” or by country.
There are also rumors that Samsung may use MediaTek’s Tiangui 9000 in some models, and this model may be the Galaxy S22 FE.
Global chip shortage
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, many countries around the world have seen a huge increase in demand for electronic devices because of home offices, and with the transportation industry being affected by the lockout policy, the world is facing a shortage of chips, which also includes an impact on the cell phone sector.
This time Samsung’s decision may be to alleviate the shortage problem, in addition may also be to reduce costs. According to reports, MediaTek’s processors stand out in the low and mid-range cell phones, and released a new generation of high-end processor Tiangui 9000 earlier this year to good reviews.
In fact, Samsung’s A series phones are all equipped with MediaTek processors.
