Week 3 in review: Samsung announces the Exynos 2200, Galaxy S22 leaks continue
In the third week of 2022 the most popular news articles were Samsung-related. We got a bunch of Galaxy S22-related leaks, but also an official announcement as Samsung unveiled the Exynos 2200 chipset. It will come with a brand new Xclipse GPU co-developed with AMD and will power the flagship lineup in certin markets.
Along with all the Galaxy S22, the Android community has a growing interest in the upcoming mid-range Galaxy A53 5G as it once again pops up on our weekly recap.
On Apple's side of the fence the most popular article was the iPhone 13's inability to apply noise cancellation during calls. Other than that, we also got a bit more info regarding the upcoming iPhone SE handsets scheduled for this and next year. And apparently, this year's non-Pro iPhone 14 models will miss on the ProMotion displays.
The Oppo Reno6 Lite and the vivo Y55 5G made their official debuts. And we may have gotten our first look at the Oppo Reno8 series and the Find X5 Pro as well.
