Following the growing tradition of work from home culture due to the Covid-19 pandemic, peoples are favoring staying at home to maintain social distancing. And it looks like Samsung is not in the mood to leave any opportunity to expand the business.

According to Korean media, the company will introduce its next flagship processor, most probably Exynos 2200, in the second half of this year. It is reported that this upcoming processor could power laptops and smartphones as well.

If the South Korean tech giant releases the Exynos 2200, then it will become the first Windows laptop maker, which uses its own processors to power the Galaxy laptops. However, the Exynos chips currently come with Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

Apart from this, the report suggests that the new Exynos chipset for laptops could debut with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc.) GPU in order to present improved graphical technology.

As per the previous report, Samsung is preparing to introduce Windows 10 laptops equipped with Exynos processors and AMD graphics cards. The company may launch Exynos-powered laptops in the second half of this year to compete with Snapdragon chips.

According to IDC, Samsung sold 53.9 million devices in the second quarter. The company occupied an 18.9% market share internationally. The company has slightly improved its sales share up from 53.5 million units in the same period last year.

Third comes Xiaomi. The Chinese brand saw massive growth in sales year over year. It had sold 42.3 million smartphones in the second quarter alone. It’s a big jump from 33.2 million units shipped in Q2 2023, becoming a potential threat to Apple and Samsung.
