Samsung faces tough call on Exynos 2500 for Galaxy S25
Samsung still doesn’t want to cancel the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. A new report from a Korean media outlet suggests that the company still believes that the 3nm yield will improve and reach the mass production milestone.
Hankyung reports that Samsung could make a final decision on the Exynos 2500 in Galaxy S25 later this month or early next month. The current stage doesn’t imply Exynos in Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphones.
Samsung had high hopes for Exynos 2500 due to its cutting-edge 3nm foundry process. The chipset is still under development, but a lower-than-expected yield rate is ruining Samsung’s dreams of debuting in-house 3nm Exynos for Galaxy.
A Samsung official stated, “We will consider the possibility of using Exynos until the very end.”
The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus come with an Exynos 2400 processor. The Galaxy S24 Ultra exclusively uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, the same chip distribution is currently unlikely in next year’s flagship smartphone family.
Following overheating and throttling reports in the Exynos 2200, Samsung canceled the Exynos 2300. The Galaxy S23 series exclusively used Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor supplied by Qualcomm.
Reason why Exynos is imp:
If Samsung opts to solely rely on Qualcomm, it will likely face higher costs, even if it tries to negotiate a premium price. This cost burden is becoming more prominent, especially as MX’s operating profit is declining despite rising sales.
Addressing yield issues and using Exynos in Galaxy S25 would be ideal for Samsung’s System LSI and MX Division. Meanwhile, any performance issue won’t allow Samsung Elec to pursue Exynos 2500 in the flagship smartphone lineup.
