The conglomeration of rumors and leaks about the Galaxy S25, Samsung and the processor chosen for the base models has just ended. Or at least that’s what he tells us Ice Universeone of the most important sources of information in the industry. According to him, the presence of T.M. Ro, head of Samsung MX, at the Qualcomm Snapdragon summit is no coincidence.
In fact, a few hours ago this user confirmed Samsung’s new strategy. “The Samsung Galaxy S25 series uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip rather than the Exynos 2500 or Dimensity 9400.“, he commented in a very simple post addressing one of the most important unknowns in the modern mobile industry.
According to these statements, the South Korean company finally it won’t use its own Exynos chip and the new flagship MediaTek processor too. That is, the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra will use the same CPU and GPU performance as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. Which, if you don’t know, is exactly what the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 should have been called.
All Galaxy S25s from Qualcomm worldwide?
Ice Universe’s words are clear, but they still leave doubts in use Qualcomm processor worldwide. Samsung typically uses a different strategy depending on the region it sells its devices in, and it remains to be seen whether it will repeat this with the Galaxy S25.
In this sense, the environment SamMobile up the ante and comment that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite will be responsible for expanding the capabilities entire series worldwidewhich would mean that Galaxy S25 performance will not be region dependent.. This is what much of the global market has been waiting for years: for all mobile phones to be the same in all parts of the globe.
Now, despite Samsung’s hints at the Qualcomm event and the statements of the quoted source, this is acceptable take this information with a grain of salt. It must be remembered that Google itself has confirmed the use of MediaTek processors in the Galaxy S25 series, so it is unclear whether this information is official and 100% true.
Great solution with possible price increase
Without a doubt, it is great news that Samsung has taken the initiative to bring the same processor to all Galaxy S25s. But yes, this strategy can be accompanied price increase in markets such as Europe. The Galaxy S24 and S24+ are sold with Exynos chips in Europe and most of the world, so update Qualcomm may change the numbers.
Qualcomm chips are not only more expensive than Exynos, but this year the situation is even worse with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This new processor is more than 20% more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which could lead to an increase of about 50 euros/dollars in each model. Check out the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
