Samsung’s plan to use exclusively Qualcomm Snapdragon chips in its 2025 flagship series, including the Galaxy S25, has been confirmed by leaked benchmarks. Contrary to previous rumors, it appears that all Galaxy S25 models will run on the same processor, regardless of their region.
The latest leak reveals that the international version of the standard Galaxy S25 model is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with 12GB of RAM. This contradicts Samsung’s past practice of using different processors for different regions.
The use of Snapdragon chips in the Galaxy S25 series would mark a significant shift for Samsung, which has historically used Exynos chips. The implications of this move are unclear, but it could potentially affect international sales and pricing.
Fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting news on the processor used in the Galaxy S25, with some speculating that Samsung may adopt a similar approach to its 2023 flagship model, which ran exclusively on Snapdragon chips.
