America's top Android chipset maker MediaTek may wiggle into the Galaxy S22 FE and the flagship S23 series
Instead of its own Exynos or the Qualcomm Snapdragon processors Samsung is now using in the Galaxy S22 series or the Galaxy S21 FE, Samsung may switch to MediaTek chipsets for the Galaxy S23 models in Asia, as well as for roughly half of the S22 FE shipments, reports Business Korea.

The MediaTek processors based on ARM architecture had 26% market share last year, after Qualcomm's 37%, followed by Apple with 26%. Samsung's Exynos line, on the other hand, had just 7% market share. 

In the US, Android phones with MediaTek processors are currently the majority with 51% market share, as they can be found in many sub-$400 phones that sell in the many millions, like the Motorola Moto G Pure, the Samsung Galaxy A12, the Samsung Galaxy A32, or the T-Mobile Revvl V+.

One of the best deals on the budget-friendly phone is a trade-in offer on Samsung.com. The South Korean company is offering $100 in instant credit when you trade in an eligible phone. The deal is available for the unlocked Galaxy A53, as well as for the carrier-locked variants. Additionally, you can get free Galaxy Buds Live as a gift.The Galaxy Buds Live usually cost $169, so this is a great addition to the already good deal that the Galaxy A53 presents.

If Samsung goes upmarket with them, equipping the Galaxy S22 FE and S23 with MediaTek as well, that market share is only poised to grow further. As a reminder, MediaTek makes quite capable flagships chipsets, with the Dimensity 9000 built on a modern 4nm process, and having bells and whistles such as 300MP cameras, as well as the AV1 video codec support that Snapdragon is yet to gain.

When it comes to performance, MediaTek's top chips are no slouches, as the Dimensity 9000 is breathing right down Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's neck, judging from the latest AnTuTu benchmark score rankings:
