This decision will impact on the chipset after several requests from users globally. The next generation flagship smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S22 series, is no longer expecting to feature an Exynos SoC in India.

But as we know, it already uses Qualcomm SoCs in USA. However, its flagships in Europe and its home market, Korea, will still run on the Exynos SoC.
