Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to Host Dimensity SoC, Main S25 Models Stick with Snapdragon

There were no Snapdragon or Exynos chips this time on their Galaxy Tab S10 series, but they rather gave MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip a shot for all three tablets, even the Ultra. And it worked flawlessly. This has never happened before, and they don’t plan on stopping here because we are about to see the Galaxy S25 FE do the same thing. 

Whatever flagship Exynos SoC they cook up, Qualcomm Snapdragons are always a few steps ahead, and Samsung simply can’t keep up this time with their Exynos 2500 pitted against SD 8 Gen 4 for their next series. So they want to go all-Snapdragon for their S25 family.

Samsung will be late to make an Exynos chip that they can rightfully call a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 alternate for their S25 family. This CPU is 8-core like all others before it, but there are now two alpha cores on this chip doing 4.2 GHz clock frequency, and the results it aggregates are north of 3069 in the single-core benchmark. 

Hearsay before this report said that all three Samsung future's flagship phones, S25, S25 Plus, and even S25 Ultra, will probably switch from Exynos to Dimensity to make a more practical alternative for the Snapdragon chip. But now, after this leak from X, a suspicion is growing that it may only be S25 FE alone to make the switch.

Their Galaxy S25 family will stick to the usual setup, only Qualcomm chips, and no Dimensity engines, but there’s a chance that in September next year, they will have concocted an Exynos chip equal to 8 Gen 4 in raw strength. And S25 FE might be the first to use it.
