Samsung is preparing to unveil the Galaxy S24 series next month. The S24 Ultra is expected to bring a 200-megapixel primary camera, while the periscope is getting upgraded to 50-megapixel. Meanwhile, the digital zoom feature could be limited to 100X in the next S Ultra.
Samsung has just tested Exynos 2500 chipset on the Galaxy S25 Plus. Samsung’s unannounced SM-S936B was spotted on Geekbench 6. However, the retail model could be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite globally.
As spotted by Jukanlosreve, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus running Exynos 2500 scored up to 2358 and 8211 points in single-core and multi-core tests. The model number refers to the European variant of the Galaxy S25 Plus smartphone.
In early November, the chipset was spotted on the same handset with similar Geekbench scores. That time, the Exynos 2500 reached 2,359 points and 8,141 points in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core CPU tests.
The current Exynos 2500 benchmark scores are far from its rivals. The Snapdragon 8 Elite manages to reach up to 3127 and 9509, while Dimensity 9400 reaches 2711 and 8632 points in single and multi-core tests, respectively.
It is said that the Exynos 2500 may not power the Galaxy S25 series. The Korean tech giant has reportedly commenced mass production. The next year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be equipped with a 3nm-based Exynos 2500 processor.
Geekbench reveals that the Exynos 2500 features a 10-core CPU, with the prime CPU core clocked at 3.3GHz, two high-performance cores at 2.75GHz, and three at 2.36GHz. The platform has two power-efficient CPU cores, running at 1.8GHz.
Samsung’s in-house chip is speculated to get Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA architecture. It could also be supported by Vulkan 1.3, additional dynamic state, device profiles, dynamic rendering, and improved sync API.
The Foundry division is currently facing yield issues with the 3nm process. Industry observers estimate that the yield rate is extremely low (around 20%). Given the yield concerns, Exynos 2500 is unlikely in the Galaxy S25 series next year.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will set new standards for mobile cameras and performance. The company has made meaningful changes to the design, while the boxy Note design is being eliminated. Recent rumors promise exceptional photography capabilities and performance upgrades in the next Ultra flagship.
You can explore the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra specifications based on the leaks and rumors surfaced over the past few months.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Price and Release
The upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be available in two RAM and three memory options. The device could start at $1299 in the US for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, while the 1TB variant could reach up to a whopping $1659. Samsung is rumored to release the next-gen Galaxy S phones in late January 2025.
Samsung will begin 2025 with the unveiling of the Galaxy S25 series. In the second half, the company will introduce next-generation foldables. A source suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 may increase with new display upgrades.
Display supply chain insider Ross Young shared crucial display info about the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7. Both upcoming foldables could get new display upgrades, with the Z Flip 7 matching the Motorola Razr’s cover display lead next year.
Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may get a larger cover and inner display than the Z Flip 6. The main screen could measure around 6.85 inches, while the cover panel could be 4 inches.
This year’s Flip smartphone has a 6.7-inch primary display and a 3.4-inch cover screen. The cover panel is not entirely rectangular due to the two camera rings on the back panel.
An increment from 6.7″ to 6.85″ will make a positive impact on the usability. The outer panel will go larger, offering even more space to use the device without unfolding.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 could also get an upgraded cover and inner screens. The source revealed that next year’s Z Fold model may have the same display as the Z Fold Special Edition.
The Galaxy Z Fold SE is a pretty major upgrade over the regular Galaxy Z Fold 6. It has a main display of 8 inches, while the outer display measures 6.5 inches.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung significantly improved the usability of the outer screen. However, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition brought the one that users have demanded for long.
