One of the biggest questions about the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is what chipsets these phones will use. Samsung typically uses a combination of Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and its own Exynos chipsets. However, leaks suggest that Exynos may not make the cut this year and that MediaTek chipset may be used in some Galaxy S25 models instead. But now it looks like Samsung may only use Snapdragon.
According to X leaker @Jukanlosreve, Samsung is in talks with MediaTek and was initially planning to use the Dimensity chipset (likely the top-end Dimensity 9400) in the Samsung Galaxy S25, but now only the main Samsung Galaxy S25 series is planned to be used. Instead a Snapdragon chipset (likely the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4).
However, MediaTek’s chipset is still expected to power Samsung’s high-end phones, and is said to be featured in the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE instead.

Based on past formats, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is likely to be the most powerful of these chipsets, so this is probably good news. If all models in the main (non-FE) line of Samsung Galaxy S25 were to be powered by Snapdragon chipsets everywhere, it would also avoid the problem of the same phone performing poorly in some regions, as has sometimes happened in the past. .
One potential downside here is that the Samsung Galaxy S25 line will be more expensive than previous models, according to a report that suggests the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is about $40 more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. That could mean that.
Of course, I’m going to take this leak with a grain of salt, especially since @Jukanlosreve has no real track record yet. At least, that’s not their name, but the leaker, Tech Reve, is reportedly using a new account, and the leaker was right about a lot of things.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE “Slim”?
And back to the subject of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, South Korean site The Elec says it could be launched as a “slim” model, and to make it slimmer, Samsung could make the battery thinner to increase the surface area. It says that there is a sex. .
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE also appears to have a 6.7-inch screen, just like the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE.
In any case, the S24 FE is not thick at 8mm, but rumors are flying around that Apple is developing a thinner iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17 Slim, so Samsung may be preparing its own replacement. It’s no wonder that they do.
