Yesterday at the presentation, the new Samsung Exynos 2200 processor was announced. It will become the flagship this year and will be installed in all top Samsung smartphones and tablets in 2022. In this article, we will look at the declared specifications and compare the performance of the Exynos 2200 in benchmarks with other processors from Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek. As it turned out, not everything is as sweet with performance as marketers promised us at the presentation.

Since 2017, Google has started releasing a light version of Android for low-cost smartphones with weak technical characteristics. This version (Android Go Edition) works quickly due to the reduced number of functions and software optimization. Application developers can release separate versions for the Android Go Edition to ensure a smoother experience. As a result, according to Google, the number of daily active users of Android Go has already reached 200 million.

The new processor, in comparison with the Snapdragon 888, received 20% higher performance and reduced power consumption by 30%. And all thanks to the 4-nanometer process technology and the latest ARMv9 architecture. In 2022, this 8-core chipset will be installed in most flagship smartphones and tablets.

A week after the announcement of the new Pixel 6\6 Pro smartphones, Google announced a new version Android 12L. It is being developed for devices with large screens, or for smartphones and tablets with folding screens. According to rumors, Google is preparing a new Pixel Fold smartphone next year. Let’s figure out what Android 12L is.
