Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, Samsung Galaxy smartphones powered by Qualcomm chipsets will improve in terms of location tracking.
More specifically, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 chipsets will soon benefit from new Trimble RTX technologies that provide meter-level location precision.

Devices powered by these chipsets should be able to do more precise location-based tracking and provide user experiences like automobile navigation with lane-level guiding with an accuracy of roughly 3 feet (1 metre).
Although Samsung was not mentioned in Qualcomm’s media release, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and 888 chipsets power a few Galaxy handsets, which might benefit from these Trimble RTX technologies when they become available in Q2.

In other words, your Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Snapdragon 888-powered Samsung phone should improve its GPS and location tracking and automobile navigation capabilities over the next few months.
The Galaxy S21 FE 5G, the Galaxy S21 series, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G are all powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. The Galaxy S22 range is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.
Keep in mind that some SoCs are only accessible in a few areas. In others, these phones are powered by Exynos SoCs and are unlikely to benefit from Trimble RTX innovations very soon.
