DevWarehouse, 30 Nov 2021If the S22 Exynos problem isn't fixed, then I won'... moreSamsung is having production issues with the Exynos 2200 Chipsets scheduled for release in the Galaxy S22.
Out of a complete wafer in manufacturing only a small number of SoC's are fully functional. Because of this some markets which previously received only Exynos equipped devices will now be offered the Snapdragon 898. Samsung has yet to announce which region(s) will be affected but regardless of it's improved benchmarks I wouldn't consider the Exynos variant until it's proven to be a reliable SoC.

          AnonD-1019084, 29 Nov 2021What Exynos problem?? I've got no issues with mine at all Yea, but To me, I don't really think that's worth it to buy a samsung phone with exynos, which is the reason why they sell snapdragon version globally with exynos in the fe version of s series! Can't say that the exynos is inferior to Snapdragon, but like not the best processor to sell on samsung phones! Snapdragon is, but if I'm an avid samsung person, I would've stayed with apple, but glad yours doesn't have any types of issues you were having with!

          Correct me if I'm wrong or not!

                    I've always been a Galaxy S users, and I liked the specs on the S21 Ultra. I'm a "techie", but I can't pull the trigger on these models now a days, because they are continuing to get larger and larger. I assume many men, like myself, don't want to eventually have to carry around a fanny pack, in order to carry around their phone which won't fit in their pockets (especially for someone who wears skinny jeans lol). It's gotten ridiculous, especially in an age of miniaturization and micronization. Because of this ever increasing phone size, i looked at the flip 3, but due to the some of its main issues (poor battery, screen crease where the fold is, slow charging, and its sub-par camera). It is lesser than even the galaxy s21. I couldn't see buying this model as well.
                    I can't stand Apple...but the one thing they have going for them, is their iphone mini's, which sacrifice none of the specs of its larger series models, only in battery life (which makes sense).

                        I think I'll try to purchase the 13 pro max next year, unless if samsung fixes the exynos problem with the s22 series, it won't be a huge disappointment for me by the way!

                        If they don't fix the exynos problem, then yes, I'd say exynos s22 were still as inferior to s22 snapdragon version as it seems better on the snapdragon version after updates!

                        And if you're an avid person, I don't really recommend it! Plus They rectified the issues with these cameras in the 13 pro series, So it's not a huge issue for me!

                        I mean, macro mode looks excellent on the 13 pro series, which it doesn't really need a professional dslr camera to start with youtube videos!

                            proUser, 25 Nov 2021Don't loose hope, Samsung planning to sell Snapdragon... morePrecisely, but to be honest, I'm fine with not having a samsung phone because of exynos that heats up really badly on a regular basis!

                            Even though I said above that I'm sick of failing to get the snapdragon version of s21 ultra, which I've been thinking twice about switching back to Apple, as they will provide me longer enjoyment than Samsung phones!

                            Unfortunately, I don't use files from apple, that's why I kept it in a folder on the second page, which is as aesthetically pleasing as sophia camarda's one!

                            If you like Apple, switch to iphone! If you like Android, stay with Samsung! Overall, I think the iphone 13 pro max is good, unless you're comfortable with iphones!

I recommend ignoring the update until a stable version is available. One would think Beta Versions would have given Samsung and Google enough information to coordinate before the official release but this doesn't seem to be the case. I think they'll get it worked out but they're not there yet.

                                    Samsung planning to sell Snapdragon for s22 for all region. Let's see.
                                    Apple just want you to tied to specific task they give, not give freedom to use phone.

                                    See if you say apple is king of security, Samsung is not behind (both provide hardware level) security. wait till s22 and don't buy on initial release.

                                    I still prefer Samsung than Apple. May be current thermal management is good on apple, but limitation of files transfer/apps make me switch to android always.

Plus, they rectified some of those issues with the s21 lineup, even though it's a disaster and disappointing because of exynos, but glad yours doesn't have any types of problems! Been thinking twice about switching back to Apple cuz I'm tired of failing to get the snapdragon version of the s21 ultra!
