Most of them will be mainly used in the Galaxy S22 series, which is expected to use the upcoming Snapdragon chipset, namely Snapdragon 895 or 898. This news confirms previous rumors that more Galaxy S22 devices may run Snapdragon chipsets instead of Exynos variants.
In other words, this also takes into account the Galaxy S21 FE, because it may arrive in January and will use Snapdragon 888. However, this will not account for a large proportion, because Samsung does not plan to launch the device in many regions due to continuing chip shortages. The same chip shortage may also be the reason why Samsung relies on Qualcomm in the Galaxy S22 series.
