Samsung picks Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 as the Galaxy S25 series chipset.
All the trials and tribulations around which chipset will Samsung use for the Galaxy S25 series are now moot, as Korean media is reporting that the three phones there will only be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Granted, reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo speculated that it has other options, such as boosting the yield of its 3nm Exynos 2500 chip, but supply chain sources now say it won’t be able to do it on time.
Samsung will reportedly only be ready with the desired quantity and quality of Exynos 2500 processors in the first half of 2025 as opposed to the last quarter of this year, as previously thought.
Thus, the Exynos 2500 chip will be used to lower the cost of Samsung foldable phones that are arriving in the second half of 2025, rather than the S25 series that will land early next year.
