There was some talk about how the next generation of Samsung smartphones will return to Snapdragon processors because it seemed like they went back to Exynos powered devices last time they released anything new. However, this may not apply to the latest models with Ming-Chi Kuo claiming that Galaxy S25 might be among them.
Kuo predicts that Samsung might choose to stick exclusively with Snapdragon SoCs for the S25 series of the Galaxy. The Galaxy S24 Ultra currently comes with Snapdragon worldwide, while its counterparts namely S24 and S24 Plus utilize Exynos mainly in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Qualcomm owns about 40% in the Galaxy S24 series while exynos has control of the remaining 60%. However, due to lack of enough 3nm yield Samsung is unlikely at this point to ship Exynos 2500 processor which is worrying enough for many galaxy fans.
Kuo’s latest update indicates Qualcomm may end up as the only provider of SoCs for Galaxy S25 from being 40 percent in S24, with Exynos 2500 missing because of production glitches .
It is interesting that there have been no new updates on Samsung’s development of the Exynos 2500. It had been previously reported that the Exynos 2500 would outperform Qualcomm’s SoC in terms of power consumption, however this information was inaccurate as there have been no recent announcements related to it appearing on the next model Galaxy S series phones.
Latitude and longitude are not an issue because Galaxy S25 made with Snapdragon can reach you there. Even with improved performance and efficiency for Exynos 2400, Samsung can’t boldly move because consumers don’t trust it.
Furthermore, the source mentioned that the price of its Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chipsets would possibly go up by 25-30% since it features the new Oryon CPU architecture. Area also said that the cost may increase for TSMC as a result of the company’s (its) new 3nm process node plus additional improvements on device AI capabilities or functions.
