Samsung may be planning to use Mediatek for its upcoming flagship phones. The Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to launch sometime in January next year, will reportedly feature MediaTek chipsets in some markets.

According to the South Korean news outlet The Financial News, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series may not be limited to Qualcomm and Exynos chipsets. While reports suggest that the upcoming flagship series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, rumour has it that Samsung is having trouble manufacturing the Exynos 2500, a chip based on the 3nm process.

Rumour had it that the Exynos 2500 yield was around 20 per cent, but according to new information from a tipster named Panda Flash, the yield could be more than 40 per cent. For mass production, a yield of at least 60 per cent is required.

With Qualcomm rumoured to increase the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 by around 30 per cent, the South Korean phone manufacturer may strike a deal with Taiwan’s MediaTek to bring down the cost.

In the last few years, Samsung has adopted a dual-chip strategy for its flagship phones, with some markets getting Qualcomm chipsets while others like India get Exynos treatment. However, this was not always the case, as the company used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets in all Galaxy S23 series devices.

Festive offer

If true, we may see the Galaxy S25 series powered by the MediaTek 9400. As of now, these are mere speculations and things may change down the line, so we advise you to take this information with a grain of salt.
