Samsung’s Galaxy S flagship smartphones have always brought tremendous performance to the Android world, but the community has always questioned the mixing of Samsung’s Exynos chipset and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset throughout the product. , I was wondering what choices Samsung would make with the S25. The family includes the long-awaited Galaxy S25 Ultra.
With the S25 family scheduled to launch early next year, such concerns may not be necessary. Snapdragon chipsets have been a favorite of the Samsung community for years. It’s also a productive partnership with Qualcomm, which provided Samsung with an improved Snapdragon chipset for last year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Renowned industry watcher @IceUniverse reports that next year’s Galaxy S25 devices will all use Snapdragon 8 Elite. “Samsung Galaxy S25 series uses Snapdragon 8 Elite chips, not Exynos 2500 or Dimensity 9400.”
New Snapdragon for Galaxy S25 Ultra
Qualcomm announced this week the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which promises to be the world’s fastest mobile CPU, and the presentation featured multiple partners including Samsung.
“This platform features industry-leading technologies such as a second-generation custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU, and enhanced Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, all of which deliver revolutionary performance improvements. I will.”
Previously, the Samsung community was disappointed to see Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets working in the same device, depending on the region of purchase. This highlighted the obvious differences between the two chipsets. The Snapdragon chipset offers more power and the Exynos chipset offers longer battery life. Online consensus favors Snapdragon, given its increased performance in gaming and improved multitasking.
Samsung has been unifying the chipsets in its Galaxy S devices for the past few years (the last time this happened was with the Galaxy S23 family in 2023), and it turns out this is the case for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. If so, Samsung will decide to adopt the same. All Qualcomm smartphones will be enthusiastically received by supporters.
