Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a move sparked by production issues with the Exynos 2500. The confirmation came at the Snapdragon Summit 2024, where Qualcomm outlined the chip’s impressive performance features.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Takes Center Stage for Samsung’s Next Flagship
As anticipated, Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which was announced at the Snapdragon Summit 2024 in Hawaii, is a remarkable platform that brings significant improvements to mobile performance, gaming, photography, and artificial intelligence.
According to SamMobile, this chipset will now be used by mobile device manufacturers to introduce new flagship smartphones to the market. The rumor has it that Samsung will be releasing a Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered handset in the near future.
Exynos 2500 Faces Production Setbacks
For what seems like an eternity, rumors have circulated regarding the Galaxy S25 series' expected chipset option for the early part of next year. There were rumblings that Samsung would follow the same strategy as last year's Galaxy S24 series, when the S24 and S24+ were powered by the Exynos 2400 in most regions and the Galaxy S24 Ultra by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on a global scale.
The Exynos 2500, which Samsung has been developing, was supposed to make its debut with the Galaxy S25 series. Nevertheless, there have been rumblings recently suggesting that Samsung's 3nm chip yields aren't great, which means the company likely won't have enough to meet the demand for the tens of millions of units expected to be sold globally.
Snapdragon 8 Elite to Possibly Power Full S25 Lineup
This might lead the business to consider using MediaTek for the base and Plus Galaxy S25 models or to limit itself to the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the full Galaxy S25 series.
Although there is no official word on it, the fact that Samsung is on Qualcomm's list of partners set to release Snapdragon 8 Elite devices in the "coming weeks" makes it seem like the company's new flagship chipset will be used by Samsung in some capacity in the Galaxy S25 series, either throughout the board or exclusively in the top model.
