Samsung hints at shipping Galaxy S25 with 3nm Exynos 2500 chip

Samsung Video Player 7.3.29.1 update

Samsung still wants the Galaxy S25 series to ship with 3nm Exynos 2500. During the earnings call, the company chip arm hinted that Exynos is still in the pipeline, which could possibly power the next-generation Galaxy S series.

There are rumors that the Galaxy S25 series could solely use Snapdragon 8 Elite. Exynos 2500 is Samsung’s dream project that uses a cutting-edge 3nm process. However, a poor yield rate is hurting the company’s growth ambitions.

System LSI is Samsung’s mobile chip arm that produces Exynos chipsets too. The company disclosed that it will focus on supplying SoCs for flagship products of a major consumer. It’s also preparing for the next-gen 2nm products.

Samsung’s chip arm during Q3 earnings call:

The System LSI Business plans to concentrate on supplying SoCs for flagship products of a major customer while preparing for next-generation 2nm products.

Here, System LSI would have been aiming at Samsung Electronics. This is due to Exynos is only used in Samsung’s mid-range and flagship devices. And the “flagship products” term probably refers to Exynos in more than 1 model.

We still assume that something is yet to happen. There would be more turning points in the Galaxy S25 3nm Exynos story. We can only expect credible inputs to appear next month, current scenario tells Snapdragon exclusivity in Galaxy S25.

One UI 7 beta update

Galaxy users may miss out on trying One UI 7 Beta as Samsung preps limited availability. While we’re seeing major changes in Samsung’s software strategy, the Beta Program expansion is unlikely, as per the source SamsonSir / X.

Samsung could launch the One UI 7 Beta Program in seven countries. The company has been availing the Beta Program in China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Following the tradition, Samsung should have launched the One UI 7’s Beta in August and Stable in October. Meanwhile, the company pushed the schedule significantly, bringing Beta to the year’s end and Stable to the new Galaxy S announcement.

Wider Beta availability has always been a priority demand by Samsung users. With a broader reach, the company will be able to hear feedback from an even larger audience. However, it’s “almost” unlikely to happen this year, at least for now.

Last year, rumors spread claiming Beta expansion to countries in Southeast Asia. However, the Program’s market reach remains intact. We still wish the One UI Beta would be a global affair so all Galaxy users can experience the software early.

Samsung is seemingly on the verge of releasing the One UI 7 Beta Program. The Galaxy S25 series may launch in January next year. The final version of One UI 7 will also be released alongside the new product debut.

That said, the Korean tech giant would conduct Beta activity for two months. Therefore, chances are high that the Beta will go live within November this year. We are expecting big news to be dropped during SDC24 Korea on November 21st.
