One of the largest questions across the Samsung Galaxy S25 sequence is what chipsets these telephones will use. Typically, Samsung makes use of a mixture of Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and its personal Exynos chipsets. But leaks advised that Exynos may not be within the combine this 12 months, and as an alternative a MediaTek chipset could possibly be utilized by some Galaxy S25 fashions. Now although, it appears that evidently Samsung may solely use Snapdragon.
According to leaker @Jukanlosreve on X, Samsung is in negotiations with MediaTek and did initially intend to make use of a Dimensity chipset (possible the top-end Dimensity 9400) within the Samsung Galaxy S25, however now the primary Samsung Galaxy S25 sequence will solely use a Snapdragon chipset as an alternative (presumably the not-yet-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4).
However, MediaTek’s chipsets will nonetheless apparently make an look in a high-end Samsung cellphone, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE supposedly set to get one as an alternative.

This might be excellent news, as a result of based mostly on previous kind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will possible be probably the most highly effective of those chipsets. If each mannequin in the primary (non-FE) Samsung Galaxy S25 line will get a Snapdragon chipset in every single place then, that additionally avoids the difficulty of getting the identical cellphone be much less highly effective in some areas, as has generally been the case in earlier years.
The one potential draw back right here is that this might imply the Samsung Galaxy S25 line is costlier than earlier fashions, as experiences recommend the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is round $40 costlier than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Of course, we’d take this leak with a pinch of salt, particularly as @Jukanlosreve doesn’t actually have a monitor report but. Or at the least, they don’t beneath that identify, however they’re reportedly leaker Tech Reve utilizing a brand new account, and that leaker has been proper about many issues.
A Samsung Galaxy S25 FE ‘Slim’?
