Samsung seem to be trying real hard to not use mediatek processors as Dimensity 7300 would have such a reasonable choice for it following the standard 15% power upgrade and actually being a decent chip unlike these Samsung manufactured "Snapdragon" chips. I geniuely believe Samsung is afraid of the Mediatek chip exceeding the power of their new Exynos 1580
