Latest Samsung leak and the future of the Galaxy S25 This is very good news for users around the world, but especially for Europeans. The company could return to the strategy it used with the Galaxy S23, and it was forgot to resume work with Galaxy S24 earlier this year. User complaints, repeated over the years, could have forced the Korean company to make a final decision on the matter.
This history goes back a long way and leaves Samsung an unreliable company when it comes to making long-term decisions. We say, of course, selection of processors and manufacturers that supply them. With the Galaxy S23 series, there is hope that Qualcomm is the only chip supplier to resurfacebut the good news came crashing down with the arrival of the last generation.
The Galaxy S24, to everyone’s surprise, once again opted for Exynos processors in several markets around the world. Exynos returned to the equation with the two most modest models, while the Ultra opted for Qualcomm. Without a doubt, this latest decision confirmed that Samsung trusts an outside company to provide the best performance for your latest mobile phones. With the Galaxy S25, that could all change.
Galaxy S25 Will Again Choose Only Qualcomm
As we can read in SamMobile, Samsung intends to return to the strategy it used with the Galaxy S23. That is, that all Galaxy S25 series phones will have a Qualcomm processorregardless of the model and the country it is sold in. And, of course, that chip will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
The decision, which is not official, will be made due to Exynos 2500 AI PerformanceThis next-generation processor, made by Samsung, will not have enough performance to offer the artificial intelligence features that the company intends to include in the next generation.
Samsung may offer a new version of the smartphone, according to recent leaks. AI performance is up to 30% higher than the current generationwhich would serve as motivation for the transition to a single supplier of processors across the planet and for all models.
A long-awaited change with problematic consequences
Now this decision won’t be full of good news. The Galaxy S25 could suffer the consequences, and that’s directly affects the end user. That extra performance from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will come from the move to the Oryon processor, which won’t be power efficient at all.
According to leaks, the unit price of the new Qualcomm processor could be increase from 20 to 25%, which could lead to an increase in the final price of all Galaxy S25s. This increase, according to our latest data, could be up to 60 euros per unit.
So unless Samsung accepts such an increase and reduces its profits, which seems unlikely, Galaxy S25 May Be More Expensive Than Galaxy S24. Looking at the starting prices of the current generation and adding the supposed extra 60 euros due to Qualcomm, it could end up like this.
- Samsung Galaxy S25: 969 euros
- Samsung Galaxy S25+: 1219 euros
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: €1,639
When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 be released? Well, the most normal thing is that Samsung will repeat the strategy of previous years and wait for the completion of one calendar year compared to the previous generation. However, everything points to the fact that the events of the next Unpacked may happen somewhere around January 15, 2025.
