Samsung Galaxy S25 Series to Exclusively Feature Snapdragon 8 Elite

Powering the Future of Galaxy

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series will exclusively use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, marking a significant shift from the previous mixed use of Exynos and Snapdragon chips. This confirmation comes directly from Qualcomm ahead of Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22nd in San Jose, California. Learn more about the Galaxy S25 series.

Performance Boost with Snapdragon 8 Elite

The Snapdragon 8 Elite, rumored to be optimized specifically for Galaxy devices, promises enhanced performance. Benchmark tests suggest an overclocked "Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy" version will further boost the S25's capabilities. This move to exclusively use Snapdragon is likely due to reported production issues with Samsung's Exynos chips.
