The next Galaxy S25 may feature MediaTek chipset, South Korean website reports Financial News this Wednesday (26). Samsung will consider the brand as a solution to overcome the low efficiency of the Exynos platform and the high production cost of the Qualcomm Snadpragon 8 Gen 4.
According to the report, S.Samsung is considering a sales strategy that includes three different chipsets: The Galaxy S25 series will have models equipped with the best hardware of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Exynos 2500 and MediaTek Dimensity series. Therefore, there will be three different changes in the technical specifications of the same device, depending on the country.
With this strategy, Samsung will avoid the high costs of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in markets that are more sensitive to price increases and avoid rejecting the Exynos 2500 chipset. The company could increase MediaTek’s relevance in the flagship sectorbecause it has more to do with the script.
Currently, Samsung already uses MediaTek chipsets, but only in entry-level mobile phones. In mid-range or high-end models, the company usually chooses between Qualcomm chipsets or equivalent-level processors from the Exynos family.
technical difficulties
While selling the same mobile phone in three different configurations, Samsung may also find itself in a difficult situation in software development. The company will need to adapt each Android update to three different versions of the same mobile phone, which may delay the development time and make the system less optimized.
HE Fragmentation could give Apple an even bigger advantageOne of Samsung’s main competitors in the high-end segment. Apple benefits from having a small number of variations of the same model, allowing the development of highly advanced firmware for a specific platform.
And given that the rumors are true, there’s no clue how Samsung will distribute each model. Depending on the strategy, it’s possible that the Galaxy S25 will underperform in sales.
