Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series is generating buzz with various rumors and leaks about its specifications, especially concerning its chipsets, which have shown conflicting information. Recently, a trusted tipster has shared some new significant insights regarding the upcoming flagship smartphones. It appears that these devices might utilize Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, bypassing the brand’s own Exynos 2500.
Exynos 2500 Reportedly Dropped
Recent discussions indicated that the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ were set to launch with the Exynos 2500 chipset. However, TM Roh, the President of Samsung Mobile, suggested that the series would instead feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite. According to a tipster known as @chunvn8888 on X, Samsung is opting out of the Exynos for its new flagship models. Reports suggest that the Exynos 2500 has been cancelled, and the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will indeed come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
All Models to Feature Snapdragon 8 Elite
Initially, it was mentioned that only the Galaxy S25 series would run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, excluding the S25 Ultra. However, the tipster later clarified that all three models in the series will be powered by Qualcomm’s top-tier chipset. Chun Bhai also pointed out that Samsung's plans to equip the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with the Exynos 2500 have been scrapped. Additionally, it was revealed that the Galaxy S25 FE would come with the Exynos 2400. For context, the Galaxy S24 FE was launched using the Exynos 2400e, which is a less powerful version of the Exynos 2400 found in the Galaxy S24 and S24+.
A Minor Upgrade Expected
Essentially, the next model might only see a small enhancement over its predecessor. It's important to remember that this information is still unverified, so it’s wise to remain skeptical for the time being. In other developments, details about the dimensions of the entire Galaxy S25 lineup have leaked, showing a slimmer design compared to previous models. The Ultra version is also available in four color choices. More information about the S25 series is expected to emerge soon, so stay tuned for further updates.
