The manufacturer could source from Mediatek for its probable Galaxy S22 FE and certain models of the Samsung Galaxy S23.
Samsung has regularly used the services of Qualcomm SoCs and its own Exynos chips to equip its premium smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with the Exynos 2200, but things could change in the coming months.
Samsung would like to diversify its supplies by working with Mediatek
According to the magazine Business Koreathe brand could change supplier for its next high-end models by strengthening its partnership with Mediatek.
The subcontractor is already working with Samsung for the supply of processors for its entry-level smartphones. Mediatek could accelerate the pace to produce chips for half of the copies of the future Samsung Galaxy S22 FE but also for the Asian versions of the Galaxy S23, which should not be presented before the beginning of the year 2023.
The Galaxy S22 FE could also accommodate the Mediatek Dimensity 9000 SoC, the most powerful and advanced offered today by the company.
It is not yet clear whether this ramp-up will be at the expense of the Exynos SoCs or whether Samsung simply wants to diversify its business partners and work with three subcontractors in parallel, as it already did more than ten years ago. already. Indeed, the Samsung Galaxy S2 was powered by Qualcomm, Exynos and Texas Instruments chips depending on the version.
