Samsung could ship Galaxy S25 and S25+ with Mediatek chip

Key Points 

• Low-yield Exynos 2500 may not meet production requirements.
• Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ could feature MediaTek processor.
• Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S25 series at the start of 2025.

Samsung might be planning to ship the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ with a MediaTek chip instead of the initially planned Exynos processor. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra will completely boast a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC.

Samsung was anticipated to follow its same strategy of shipping standard and plus variants of Galaxy S series with Exynos SoC, while Ultra with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. But, this year, things are not going according to plan.

A recent report suggests that the Exynos 2500 chip cannot meet production requirements due to its low yield. This prompted Samsung to explore more options and consider partnering with MediaTek to develop customized chips for the Galaxy S25 and S25+.
