At the second , we ’re look for Samsung ’s latest foldables — theZ Fold 6andZ Flip 6 — to go far on July 10 during a Samsung event in Paris . However , a new leak fromMing - Chi Kuohas tippytoe some details about the Galaxy S25 specs .
As await , the Samsung Galaxy S25 will pack the latest and greatest hardware with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 . According to Kuo , Qualcomm will be the sole provider of the S25 , unlike the old year , when it only supplied 40 % of the chip for the S24 . That intend there will not be different Qualcomm and Exynos models scattered across the global market place , which should reduce the performance difference experienced by user . The Exynos 2500 may simply not be ready to ship due to a broken - than - expect 3 nm fruit .

Qualcomm will likely be the sole SoC supplier for the Samsung Galaxy S25 ( vs. 40 % for the S24 ) , as the Exynos 2500 may not ship due to Samsung's low - than - expected 3 nm proceeds .

There is a big downside here , though . This leak from Kuo basically confirms that theSnapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be 25 - 30 % more expensivethan the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 , which could translate to a hundred dollars or more of a price increment when the Galaxy S25 finally comes out .
However , we ’re still many month away from when the Galaxy S25 is expect to set up , so there ’s no need to panic just yet . There ’s always a opportunity that Samsung may choose to corrode some or all of the cost of the new chips rather than hike up prices . After all , with phones like the S24 Ultra that is already upward of $ 1,000 , there ’s only so much you could increase the monetary value without dramatically reducing your potential grocery .
