By evoking the support of Netflix HD by the next Galaxy S22, Netflix implicitly confirms the presence, if there were still any doubts, of the new Exynos 2200 chip on board Samsung’s future flagship.

It’s been official for a few days now, Samsung will unveil its Galaxy S22 on February 9th. And while the Korean giant’s new range of high-end smartphones becomes less and less mysterious as rumors and other leaks shed light on its specifications and launch modalities, there is still (half) doubt about the processor responsible for motorize the S22 range.
Implicitly, however, Netflix spilled the beans by adding the Exynos 2200 to the list of supported chipsets for Netflix HD a few days ago. The recent update of this list suggests that the Exynos 2200 is about to tumble onto the market… the S22 would then be the perfect choice to welcome it within it. Note however that no official source has yet confirmed the presence of the Exynos 2200 on board the future Galaxy S22. The information from Netflix is, however, a good indicator.
The Exynos 2200 installed on the S22, but not everywhere?
As pointed out XDA Developers, some regions would however not be affected by this new chip. The United States, India and China could thus inherit Galaxy S22 probably equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. In order not to put all its eggs in one basket from an industrial point of view, Samsung has indeed got into the habit of not installing Exynos processors on all of its Galaxy S smartphones. Some countries are thus, more or less traditionally, equipped with Snapdragon SoCs.
As a reminder, the Exynos 2200 is unique in that it is the result of cooperation between Samsung and AMD. The two firms worked together to develop this new SoC which will notably benefit from a powerful Xclipse 920 graphics part, based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture. This GPU architecture is used by AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards, but also by the custom AMD chips that power the Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5.
