Galaxy S25 and Watch7 to equip 3nm Samsung chipsets

Published

Samsung Exynos 2500

Samsung has enhanced its 5nm process technology, which would be benefiting the upcoming Pixel 8 and Galaxy Watch6 devices. Samsung is expected to introduce Exynos 2400 based on 4nm this year, while rumors about its 3nm chipsets have started to appear.

Tipster @TheGalox_ claims that Samsung would introduce its first 3nm process-based smartphone processor in early 2025. Hopefully, the Exynos 2500, which could debut with the Galaxy S25 series will be manufactured by Samsung 3nm process technology.

Exynos 2500 & W930 to use 3nm process

Apart from this, the South Korean tech giant may also utilize the same fabrication process for its next-generation wearable chipset Exynos W930 (tentative name). The company is using a new GAA (Gate All Around) transistor architecture for these advanced semiconductors.

As Samsung Foundry is facing yield issues, it’s not possible to manufacture smartphone chipsets on the new 3nm process node. Hence, the OEM is currently supplying the initial production run to clients in other tech sectors, such as cryptocurrency mining.

Initially debuted with the Galaxy Watch4 lineup, Samsung’s Exynos W920 chip (2 ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores & ARM Mali-G68 GPU) is manufactured by a 5nm process. The same chipset powered the Watch5 and will be continued with the upcoming Watch6 series this year but with an enhanced process.

It’s also possible that the company may have been wondering to deploy its new 3nm process to smartwatch chipsets before shifting to phones. Through this, it can prevent all kinds of risks of failure of the year’s most anticipated flagship smartphones.

Snapdragon for Galaxy

As reports about Exynos’ comeback are spreading heavily, Samsung will not entirely ditch the Snapdragon chipset. In Exynos time, the company shipped Qualcomm chip-powered Galaxy flagships in certain markets including the US, which will not change, at least for a few years.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, which powers the S23 series is performing quite well, even defeating all rivals equipped with the standard version. Thanks to its collaboration with Qualcomm, Samsung managed to bring a custom chipset to the S23 lineup, which will be continued with Z Fold5 and Flip5.

Today, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s the company’s slimmest smartphone ever, which doesn’t trade flagship specs. Samsung also revealed pre-order deals and US availability for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Galaxy S25 Edge pre-order deals in the US, by Samsung

Samsung is offering up to $800 off the Galaxy S25 Edge with a qualifying trade-in. Upgrading from your existing smartphone would save you max $800 in the US. It’s just another exceptional pre-order deal from Samsung.

Note that Samsung is also offering a $50 credit and free storage upgrade with pre-order. Free storage upgrade means you are getting a higher storage variant, but paying the price of a smaller storage model during pre-order.

Here’s the trade-in value chart for qualifying devices:

Device – Trade Value

  • Galaxy S24 Ultra – $630
  • Galaxy S24+ – $500
  • Galaxy S24 – $420
  • Galaxy Z Fold 6 – $630
  • Galaxy S23 Ultra – $580
  • Galaxy Z Fold 5 – $580
  • Galaxy S22 Ultra – $500
    • You can find the full list on Samsung’s website.

Overall, a savings of $800 for a $1,219 (256GB) device seems to be a pretty good deal. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is going to be in limited supply, meaning there is no telling what prices and inventory will be like after the pre-order period.

Samsung is letting you save a maximum of $800 on the new $1100 Galaxy S25 Edge. The new phone comes with a 5.8mm sleek design profile without compromising on performance, camera and software fronts.

Galaxy S25 Edge is available for pre-order starting today, May 12, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung.com, and from carriers across the US, with general availability starting on May 30.

Galaxy S25 Edge starts at $1,099.99 for the 256GB storage option and $1,219.99 for 512GB. It comes in stylish Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue colors options.

US and China tariff deal is a good sign for Apple

Published

on

iPhone 16E

The US and China have announced a halt in fiery tariff imposition and marked a mutual deal to bring down import duty in both countries, which could be a big relief for Apple.

This trade deal comes after talks between two giant economies in Geneva. According to the joint statement, the US will reduce tariffs on Chinese goods to 30 percent from 145 percent and China will do the same by reducing import duties on US products to 10 percent from 125 percent.

China stands as a production hub for Apple, products, including the iPhone, comes out of the Chinese factories and goes around the globe. In April, US President Donald Trump announced a sliding tariff on China, which escalated the trade war. The two sides began announcing new tariff rates on each other, increasing upto 145% from the US side.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro

Earlier this month, Apple CEO, Tim Cook, said that the US bound iPhone production will shift to India due to the high import rate on Chinese goods. The company also projected $900 million loss in costs in the current quarter.

“We do expect the majority of iPhones sold in the US will have India as their country of origin” said Cook a week ago.

Eventually, this US-China tariff deal is likely to bring calm in Apple’s corner and will allow the company to think back on its production shift decision.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Launch Teaser

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 Edge in the US tonight. Major US carrier, AT&T, has also teased the availability of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

AT&T quoted Samsung Mobile US’s post of the Galaxy S25 Edge teaser. It’s nothing but an official confirmation that the slim Galaxy device will be hitting AT&T store shelves.

The carrier’s “See You 5/12” also indicates that the pre-order should start today. However, the official release/sales are expected later this month, if previous revelations are accurate.

Apart from AT&T, other US cellular networks, including Verizon and T-Mobile, have not yet confirmed or teased the availability of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be just 5.85mm thick, the sleekest Galaxy ever. The company has also drastically reduced the weight, as it’s expected to be roughly 160 grams.

The slimness is coming in favor of two major aspects: a smaller battery and a lack of Telephoto. The phone features a 3900mAh battery, and there’s no dedicated zoom camera like the other three.

However, you don’t need to worry about performance and durability. The device is toughened by exclusive Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood.

As far as the pricing is concerned, the Galaxy S25 Edge would cost between the S25 Plus and Ultra. In the US, the phone could come with a starting price tag of nearly $1100 to $1150.

Samsung boosts Galaxy S25 May 2025 production amid US tariff uncertainty

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus Price

Samsung has raised the Galaxy S25 series production target for May 2025 amid US tariff uncertainties, TheElec reports.

According to the info, Samsung has ramped up this month’s Galaxy S25 series production target by 800,000 units; the decision comes ahead of the potential US tariffs to be imposed on imports to the United States.

The report suggests that the May production plan for the flagship Galaxy S25 series includes 1.3 million units of the standard model, 500,000 units of the Plus, and 1.5 million units of the Ultra, totaling 3.3 million units.

That said, the Korean tech giant has increased its production target by up to 1 million units over the March forecast, plus 800,000 units more than the early-to-mid-April forecast (2.5 million), with the Ultra model seeing the biggest hike.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus

The company has sold around 30 million Galaxy devices in the US last year. Galaxy S flagships are cash cows for Samsung in the US, over Galaxy A phones. This way, Samsung could safeguard these units from the potential US tariffs.

While the production has been hiked for May, it has been reduced for June and July. The launch of Galaxy S25 Edge is also considered a reason, which is coming next week, ahead of the new foldables in early July this year.
