Samsung leaks have been circulating online even more over the last week with the imminent release of the Galaxy S22 series. But if tech fans need another indication that new flagship products from Samsung will be released soon, an updated list of Netflix-support chips, which recently added Exynos 2200, might help.
On the Netflix support page, the company lists the Android devices that can stream content in high-definition (HD). There is also a list of “compatible chipsets” that Netflix says should allow devices it powers to stream content in HD. It includes a few models from Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin and Unisoc, as well as more chipsets manufactured by MediaTek and Qualcomm.
Currently, the chipsets that support Netflix HD streaming include just three Exynos models. But GSMArena noted that one of them was only recently added -- Exynos 2200.
The addition of Exynos 2200 to the list should not be surprising. But it is also a good reminder (and further confirmation) that Samsung’s next mobile chipset for its flagship smartphones is launching soon.
Samsung will host its next Unpacked event on Wednesday, Feb. 9, where the Galaxy S22 will be unveiled. The company’s new flagship phones are expected to be powered by the Exynos 2200 in some regions, and a recent leak may have revealed the list of markets where the chipset will be available.
Leaker Dohyun Kim previously shared a screenshot from an alleged marketing material for the Galaxy S22. The image shows Exynos 2200-powered phones will be available in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Meanwhile, units to be shipped to North America, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and South Korea will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Samsung officially announced the Exynos 2200 earlier this month and confirmed that it will be the company’s first chipset to sport an AMD GPU. It uses the RDNA 2 technology, which Samsung says will allow devices to feature “hardware accelerated ray tracing.” The rendering technique has been a common high-end feature in video games, but it was only possible with modern PC graphics cards and current-generation consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
