The much-awaited Samsung Galaxy S22 series is finally launching on February 9, 2022. Earlier, we have come to know a lot about these devices as they will come with Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors.

Recently, a report revealed which country users will get which chipset variant. Unfortunately, the report didn’t mention about Indian variant. Meanwhile, new information (via Pricebaba) claims that Indian Galaxy S22 phones will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Finally, Samsung India fans will have something to cheer about. For most flagship smartphones, the company usually offers Exynos processor variants in India, which puts the devices at a disadvantage compared to the brand’s competitors.

In December last year, we have heard a similar rumor, and the new leak is just another confirmation that all three Samsung Galaxy S22 models will come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset in India.
