Samsung usually sticks with Qualcomm and in-house Exynos Silicon for its flagship phones, but it is also increasingly using MediaTek chipsets in its budget devices. Now, it looks like the company could use a MediaTek chipset in its next flagship release.

This is not the first time that Samsung has used more than two SoC providers in its flagship, having previously done so for the 2011 Galaxy S2 which used Exynos, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments chipsets.
There is no word on the MediaTek chipset that could potentially be used in the Galaxy S22 FE, although previous rumors have suggested that Samsung may be adopting the Dimension 9000 in some capacity. It’s now the company’s latest flagship SoC, and it’s still the firm’s most ambitious. Preliminary reviews indicate that it is a true competitor to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon flagship Silicon, although without mmWave support.
