The upcoming release of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is generating buzz in the tech world, and one of the key highlights is the expected use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 application processor (AP). Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

– The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP is anticipated to be more expensive than its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 AP, due to the incorporation of Oryon custom cores. This upgrade is designed to enhance performance and energy efficiency.
– Qualcomm, the brains behind the Snapdragon lineup, will need to adjust pricing to cover the development costs associated with these custom cores.
– Despite the imminent release, Qualcomm is unable to determine the exact price per unit until mass production begins. The official unveiling is scheduled for October during the annual Snapdragon Summit event.
– While MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 poses as a worthy competitor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, it’s highly unlikely that Samsung will deviate from its tradition of using Qualcomm chips in its flagship devices.
– Industry insiders like Ming-Chi Kuo and Leaker Yogesh Brar have estimated a price range of $220-$240 for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP.
– Samsung is expected to maintain its dual chipset approach, with Exynos powering certain models and Snapdragon taking over in markets like China, U.S., and Canada.
