In recent months, there has been a great deal of back and forth concerning the processor or chipsets that Samsung would use to power their forthcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to ship in January at the latest. After first learning that it will only be available on Exynos, we learned to expect Snapdragon on all platforms from two different stories.

Another rumor has surfaced from Korea, home of Samsung, confirming the Snapdragon victory. Global adoption of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is rumored for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. It appears that the purpose of doing this is to "maximize the performance" of the S25 series.


Instead, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, which will go on sale in the second half of next year, will employ the Exynos 2500. The fact that the foldables have up till now relied on Snapdragon CPUs makes that a surprising turn of events. According to the source, Samsung will have time to stabilize the 2500's performance and increase its yield until they are released.
