We are eagerly anticipating the release of Samsung’s upcoming flagship series, the Galaxy S25, expected to launch in late January or early February 2025. As the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung is set to utilize its own Exynos 2500 chipset to power the Galaxy S25 and S25+ in most markets, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC taking charge in the U.S., China, and Canada. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in all markets.
According to reports from DigiTimes via Wccftech, the Exynos 2500 will be mass-produced by Samsung Foundry using a cutting-edge second-generation 3nm node technology. This innovative approach incorporates Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors, which significantly enhance chip performance by reducing current leakage and improving signal transmission between transistors. This gives the Exynos 2500 a competitive edge over its counterparts.
The Exynos 2500 is expected to feature a robust configuration with 10 CPU cores, including one Cortex-X5 Ultimate Performance core clocked at up to 3.2GHz. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will leverage Qualcomm’s Phoenix cores with a mix of “Big” and “Medium” CPU cores. However, some concerns have been raised about thermal management and battery consumption due to the absence of low-powered “Small” CPU cores in Qualcomm’s design.
As we look forward to the official introduction of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC at the annual Snapdragon Summit in October, it will be interesting to see how these advanced technologies shape the future of mobile devices. Stay tuned for more updates on Phones Canada for all things related to telecommunications and mobile innovations!
