According to rumors, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series will launch in January 2025 with a conflicting chipset. Samsung phones will be powered exclusively by Snapdragon silicon, according to a website.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 range will use only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, according to Hankyung. According to the website, Samsung mobile chief TM Roh will attend the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii to negotiate better prices.
A tipster claimed a few days ago that the Galaxy S25 will only use Snapdragon chips. The Exynos 2500 may not be used in the Galaxy S25 series.
Exynos 2500 yield issues were reported by Samsung earlier this year. By Q2 2024, the chip should have a yield rate under 20%, with mass production requiring a 60% yield rate. It was reported at the time that Samsung was working hard ahead of mass production to improve the yield rate. This latest report suggests that this push wasn’t enough for the Galaxy S25.
Due to the use of a custom CPU, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon chip is expected to offer an even larger performance boost than Qualcomm’s previous chips. Due to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s higher price, the Galaxy S25 series might get higher prices or be downgraded in features.
