Now we know that next July 10th Samsung Its new Unpacked event will be held, in which we will discover its new range of folding mobile phones. These will be the next high-end phones of 2024, but in 2025, in the first weeks, we will meet the Samsung Galaxy S25. Some phones that will arrive with many new features, although the first and obligatory one year after year is that of a new processor, which gives these phones more power. And from what we now know, there could be many changes in this regard, and certainly unexpected ones.
MediaTek in the pools
Just a few weeks ago we heard some information that pointed to the fact that Samsung’s new high-end model would have Snapdragon processors instead of Samsung’s Exynos, and not just in one model, but in all of them. But now this information takes a 180-degree turn, and puts us in a direction that we had certainly not seen coming. And this new information points to the fact that Samsung could adopt MediaTek processors for its new high-end models.
And that is the reason behind This change of mind would be found in the high price that the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would have., something we have already talked about previously, and which threatens to make all high-end models that opt for this processor more expensive next year. According to the Korean source of this information, Samsung would have another reason for not opting for Qualcomm beyond price. And this move would benefit its Exynos processors, which could improve sales of ir on its mobile phones.
Therefore, the higher cost of Snapdragon and the promotion of its Exynos 2500 would lead Samsung to include this processor in some of its Galaxy S25, most likely the Ultra. However, the source also points out that they could choose to use processors MediaTek Dimensityto power their high-end phones, perhaps the most affordable models, such as the Galaxy S25, and S25 Plus.
This would certainly be a radical change in the range of Samsung Galaxy S, since it is a processor that has not been lavished on Samsung’s high-end, and in general on Korean phones. And it’s not that they are worse than the Snapdragons, perhaps a little less powerful, but they can certainly do the job satisfactorily. Although we certainly do not see these phones being sold in countries like the United States with this processor, so on that side we would be quite surprised.
We’ll see if we end up with a range of S25 Frankensteinwith a different processor in each region, based on consumer preferences and also on their purchasing power, which is obviously not the same in all countries. Much will depend on whether we have MediaTek processors for the first time in Samsung’s high-end range, of course it would be a milestone, and why not, we would like to see how it suits these phones.
