Before the official release of the Samsung Exynos 2200 chip, there were indications that this chip was not ready to hit the market. In fact, there were reports that the Galaxy S22 series will entirely use a Snapdragon chip. However, this did not happen and the Galaxy S22 series launched as usual. While the U.S. and China get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 model, the rest of the world gets the Exynos 2200 model. Recently, there were reports thatĀ “Samsung delivered the worst Exynos this year.”
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy S22 series with the flagship Exynos 2200 processor sometimes runs very slowly. Furthermore, there is no response when pressing answer when a call comes in, and the GPS often fails. On Samsung’s community forums, some users have complained that the device’s GPS function is bad. The complaints claim that the GPS doesn’t work after the first setup, or after a long period of inactivity. At the same time, when using the map navigation, there will also be an error message “GPS not found”. As of the time of the report, a factory setting will not solve the issue.
