Tech enthusiasts are counting down the days to the Galaxy UNPACKED 2022 event on 02/08 this year to witness the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S22 flagship. The expectations of users for the Galaxy S22 are not merely about affection for the world's leading flagship, but also an opportunity for Samfans to witness firsthand the latest technologies integrated into this smartphone by Samsung.
Just before the official release, a plethora of leaks about the most massive upgrades on Galaxy S22 have surfaced. Let's go through them together to see why this flagship is so highly anticipated.
Galaxy S22 Series will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 gen 1 Chip
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the latest and most premium chip for Android flagships recently introduced by the manufacturer in December 2021. The chip is manufactured on Qualcomm's first 4nm process based on the new ARMv9 architecture, bringing comprehensive improvements with top-notch power capabilities.
The upcoming Galaxy 22 series will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip.According to an Infographic leaked on Weibo, Samsung Galaxy S22 is said to feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. Reports from Sammobile indicate that a product from the S22 series, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, scored 1,226 points in single-core and 3,462 in multi-core tests on Geekbench.
Thus, Samfans can rest assured about the performance of the S22 series products, as they significantly outperform the Geekbench scores of the predecessor S21 Ultra (923 single-core and 3072 multi-core points). This is quite understandable as the S22 uses the latest generation chip.

However, this year, many users in Vietnam have quietly rejoiced at rumors suggesting that the Southeast Asian market will receive a dragon chip version due to shortages of Exynos chips.
