News & Reviews:   Exynos 2200

While the Samsung Galaxy S23 series was Snapdragon-only, that might not be the case for next year's Galaxy S24 series. Sources suggest that Samsung is already working on the Exynos 2400 chipset, and equip it on devices for selected regions.

In the span of a few weeks, major chip companies all released their latest mobile chipsets. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, MediaTek Dimensity 9000, and the most recent Exynos 2200. It's hard to say which chipset is the best, but new benchmarks could answer this question.

With the launch of the Exynos 2200 yesterday, Samsung now has a new chipset that could compete with the Snapdragon 888 and Dimensity 9000. But how does it compare to the competition? Here are some preliminary benchmarks to provide us with some clues.

Initially, Samsung's Exynos 2200 chipset was supposed to be revealed on 11 January 2022 but it didn't happen due to some reasons. Although there's no official word yet, rumours have it that the chipset could launch together (or not) with the upcoming Galaxy S22 series in early February 2022.

Previously, Samsung was expected to launch the Exynos 2200 chipset on 11 January 2022. When that didn't happen, some worried that it might not be available on the Galaxy S22 series. However, Samsung has now confirmed that this isn't the case.

Last year, it was rumoured that Samsung would be launching the Exynos 2200 soon. The company's new chipset was expected to be featured in the upcoming Galaxy S22 series smartphones. But a well-known source claimed that it may no longer be the case.

Just recently, Samsung posted a teaser video about the next-gen Exynos chipset. Reports are expecting it to be called the Exynos 2200 and the teaser confirmed that 11 January 2022 is the official launching date.

A few months ago, there was a rumour that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series would mostly use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 898 chipset. Some even claimed that the company may even keep the Exynos 2200 chipset for the Ultra variant only. Now, we got even more details on the chipset allocations for 2022.

Earlier today, we posted news about the top 10 Android phones in October 2021. The Snapdragon 888 dominated that list, proving that no other chipset can currently match it in CPU or GPU performance. But Samsung could look to change that with its upcoming Exynos 2200.

With the growth of the mobile games industry, it's no surprise to see related technology growing by leaps and bounds. For example, ray-tracing has mostly been the domain of PC and console gaming. However, mobile games will soon be getting it too.
