Although these statements and the mention of ‘Samsung’ could be a hint towards the Galaxy S25 series, it isn’t clear whether all models in the lineup will have the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset or will be limited to just Galaxy S25 Ultra like the S24 Ultra this year with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There have also been rumours of the upcoming Samsung flagship series to be powered by MediaTek chipsets, which we have no confirmation on.
Samsung is also reportedly working on the Exynos 2500 chipset and the SoC was recently spotted on Geekbench but it could be from a reference device and not an actual phone. There are reports that Samsung’s yields for the Exynos 2500 aren’t good so it may not have enough supply in time for the Galaxy S25 lineup. This may mean that the South Korean giant could go all out with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset globally. The last time this happened was with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series in 2022.
