There are reports that Samsung is canceling production of the Galaxy S22 FE and could end the slightly awkward series in the lineup in the future. Fortunately, it was later updated that the price-competitive series would continue to be released, just not this year, as Samsung had to focus its resources on increasing production of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung is still expected to push the release of the Galaxy S23 FE, but that’s something that won’t happen until 2023.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra has been a huge success since its launch in February earlier this year, with annual sales expected to reach around 11 million units. In order to ensure a stable supply of flagship machines, Samsung had to make some compromises, which is to cancel the Galaxy S22 FE.
The manufacturer had planned to mass-produce about 3 million units of this cost-effective sub-flagship. Unfortunately, with chip supplies already tight this year, the company faces a conundrum.
Rather than betting on a product that could fail due to a chip shortage, Samsung decided to take a smarter approach and ramp up production of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which has performed well enough to become the company’s best-selling smartphone this year.
As many consumers now know, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is powered by the Exynos 2200 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, both of which are built on Samsung’s 4nm architecture, however, both SoCs show disappointment in a number of ways the result of.
If Samsung uses the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 on the Galaxy S22 FE, a chipset made with TSMC’s superior 4nm technology, Galaxy S22 Ultra sales could suffer, as consumers will know they’re buying at a lower price Instead, it got an SoC with better performance.
According to reports, with the arrival of the Galaxy S23 FE in the second half of next year, Samsung is planning to produce 3 million units, and the Exynos 2300 in the Galaxy S23 FE may stick to the 3-nanometer GAA chip manufacturing process, for which Samsung will try to achieve better yields, Improve performance and power efficiency at the same time. Higher production means Samsung won’t face a chip supply crunch, which would translate into higher sales if it launches the Galaxy S23 FE earlier than it did with the Galaxy S20 FE.
