We do not know what device it will be, but we do know that it will arrive as one of the best in its current catalog. Motorola wants to make an appearance from the beginning of the season and this only leaves us to think that in 2022 it could have a lot more presence than in previous generations.
There will be more devices with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 in 2022, but at the moment there are not too many confirmed. Samsung could use this chip in the Galaxy S22 series, although everything indicates that the delays could seriously affect these devices.
