Samsung’s next flagship could come with a MediaTek chip
Samsung has launched its flagship smartphones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and its own Exynos chips until now, but a new media report claims the Korean conglomerate is considering using MediaTek’s chipsets for its upcoming flagships, meaning we could see the Galaxy S23 have a MediaTek SoC at the helm.
However, the source says that not all the Galaxy S23 units will have a MediaTek SoC under the hood. These will be used by Samsung only on the Asian models. The report further claims that about half of the Galaxy S22 Fan Edition (FE) units will also be powered by the Taiwanese company’s chips.
It’s not clear at this time which MediaTek chips Samsung will be using for these phones, however it is worth noting that Samsung previously used MediaTek chipsets in its lower-end smartphones.
