Galaxy S25 Leaks Reveal All-Snapdragon Lineup: Future of Android Performance
Is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Going All-In with Qualcomm Snapdragon?
We’ve been following the Samsung Galaxy S25 rumors since they surfaced, and it’s been a wild ride. But just weeks before the launch, a new leak might have settled the question about which processor will power the Galaxy S25 series: Qualcomm Snapdragon.
According to a tweet from tipster Tarun Vats (via SamMobile), Geekbench benchmarks have appeared online showing the international version of the standard Galaxy S25 model running the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 12GB of RAM.
This is significant, as it would mean that Samsung is indeed going all-in with Qualcomm Snapdragon, as previously rumored. This would be a departure from the company’s tradition of using a mix of Exynos and Qualcomm processors in its Galaxy S series.
In the past, Samsung has used Exynos processors in its Galaxy S series, while Qualcomm Snapdragon processors were reserved for international markets. However, it seems that this time, Samsung might be opting for a uniform approach, using the Snapdragon 8 Elite in all Galaxy S25 models, regardless of the region.
The move could be a strategic one for Samsung, as it might help the company reduce production costs and simplify its global supply chain. However, it’s still unclear whether this will result in higher prices for consumers.
