Samsung’s all-new Galaxy S22 series is continuing the Korean company’s long-standing tradition of switching out the processor based on region. Traditionally, Samsung has restricted the Qualcomm-based models to the United States and its own South Korea. However, it looks like the company is changing things this year.
So far, we’ve been able to confirm that buyers in North America, India, South Africa, and the UAE will get access to Samsung Galaxy S22 Qualcomm-based models. Those will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside.
