Updated: August 08, 2025 (12:54 AM ET):Another outlet has corroborated the claim below that Samsung will be drastically increasing the production of Exynos chipsets to be used in its phones.EE Times(h/t:ITHome) reports that the number of Samsung phones powered by Exynos processors will double or even triple in 2022.
It’s believed that this move was partly made as a result of the global chipset shortage, allowing Samsung to reduce its reliance on chipsets from the likes of Qualcomm. We’ll likely have to wait for 2022 to see just how many models are powered by Exynos chipsets.
Original article: July 11, 2025 (5:46 AM ET):Samsungtraditionally sticks to eitherQualcommor its in-houseExynoschipsets for its high-end smartphones, with the likes of the Americas and China gaining Snapdragon variants and the rest of the world getting Exynos models.
Now, Korea’sET Newsreports that Samsung Electronics is pushing to “raise the proportion” of Exynos chipsets in Galaxy phones from 20% to between 50% and 60%. The outlet added that Samsung’s LSI division will therefore more than double shipments of Exynos chipsets in 2022.
An industry source toldET Newsthat Samsung has addressed two key Exynos issues with the next generation of chipsets:
The outlet adds that the push for more Exynos chipsets applies to mid-range and low-end smartphones. Most of Samsung’s recent budget phones have been powered by Snapdragon or MediaTek chipsets, so there’s definitely scope for Exynos growth in this regard.
In fact, Samsung’s most capable mid-range chipset, theExynos 1080, didn’t actually find its way into any Galaxy smartphones (being used in vivo phones). This was despite the fact that it was roughly on par with the MediaTekDimensity 1200SoC andSnapdragon 780G.
What does this apparent Exynos push mean for Samsung’s flagship phones though? Well, a leakerclaimedback in August that more markets would get the Snapdragon version of the Galaxy S22 series phones due to yield issues related to the Exynos 2200 chipset.
