Galaxy S22: Previously, Samsung had a very explicit division of regions that would receive devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos processors.

According to user Dohyun Kim, phones available in South and North America, East and Southeast Asia and Oceania will exclusively receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. West Asia and the Middle East will have access to both processors and, finally, Europe will only have the Exynos 2200.
