Your Samsung Galaxy S25 might be powered by a MediaTek chipset – yes, really
Samsung is no stranger to equipping its Galaxy smartphones with different chipsets in different regions, but the company has traditionally stuck to a two-chipset approach on occasions where it’s been unable to offer the same chips across the board (see the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S24 lines).
With the Samsung Galaxy S25 line, however, Samsung is reportedly considering adding a third chipset into the mix. Specifically, the smartphone giant could use a MediaTek chip – presumably the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 – in certain regions, owing to alleged production issues with its own Exynos 2500.
This tip comes from Korean news outlet FNN (via Digital Trends), and builds on earlier reports claiming that Samsung is no longer on track to manufacture enough Exynos 2500 chipsets in time for the Galaxy S25’s assumed January launch.
