According to rumours, Samsung will design its own unique processor for the Galaxy S-series in 2025. According to a fresh report published by South Korean outlet Inews24 and trusted source IceUniverse, Samsung managers are unhappy with the outcry over the Galaxy S22 series GOS incident, as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 chipsets' low yields and poor heat management. As a result, a new strategy akin to Apple's A-series chipsets is being considered, with the ultimate goal of better-optimized smartphones.
Samsung has also released a fresh firmware update for the Galaxy S22. It includes a number of unidentified security patches as well as improvements to "overall function stability."
