Qualcomm will likely be the sole SoC supplier for the Samsung Galaxy S25 (vs. 40% for the S24), as the Exynos 2500 may not ship due to Samsung's lower-than-expected 3nm yield.In addition to the significant increase in supply share, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will see a price June 17, 2024 See more This will likely be good news if accurate, as in general Snapdragon chipsets are more powerful than Exynos ones. And if nothing else it would mean youll get equal performance from your phone wherever you buy it, whereas in previous years some countries got better versions of Galaxy S models. Its not all good news though, as Kuo additionally claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be 25-30% more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which could in turn lead to the phones being more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy S24 line. Still, this is an early leak so anything could happen by the time the Samsung Galaxy S25 series launches likely in or around January.
