Published

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset. However, it has been reported that Qualcomm will unveil two different variants of this Samsung-exclusive chip. A new rumor indicates that the US Galaxy S24 Ultra processor could be slower than others.

Rumors claim Samsung will ship the Galaxy S24 series with a Snapdragon chip in the US, however, the S24 Ultra could have the Cortex-X4 Prime core clocked at 3.3GHz. Meanwhile, non-US variants could feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy with Cortex-X4 Prime Core running at 3.4GHz.

Difference between Snapdragon for Galaxy variants:

One has a Cortex-X4 Prime Core running at 3.4GHz while the other has the Cortex-X4 Prime core clocked at 3.3GHz. In particular, the slower variant with Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.30GHz could power Galaxy S24 Ultra in the US (“U”) and South Korea (“N”).

On the flip side, Galaxy S24 Ultra units being shipped to Global market “B” will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy with the faster Cortex-X4 Prime Core. However, it’s uncertain which countries will get “B” variants of the next S24 Ultra flagship smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus reappears with Exynos 2500 chipset

Samsung Galaxy S25+

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 Z Fold 6 Z Flip 6

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.
