Samsung Galaxy S25 series will reportedly feature Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC globally.
Exynos chipsets may make a return in select models of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series.
Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature significant camera upgrades, including a 50 MP ultra-wide sensor.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be the South Korean giant’s next flagship launch, and it has already been the subject of numerous leaks. According to reports, the Galaxy S25 series will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC in the global market. Following reports claiming the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s chipset, a tipster has revealed that the South Korean company is considering bringing back its in-house Exynos chipset for the Galaxy S26 series.
While there is still time for the Galaxy S26 series to be released (possibly in January 2026), tipster Jukanlosreve claims that Samsung will reintroduce the in-house Enynos chipset for select models in the series.
For those who are unaware, the Galaxy S25 series was also reported to feature the Exynos 2500 chipset, but the company later decided to switch to the Snapdragon 8 Elite due to low yield rate issues at Samsung Foundry. This follows speculation that mass production of the Exynos 2500 chipset based on 3nm will begin soon, which could explain why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to use the same chipset.

If the reports are to be believed, Samsung will introduce an Exynos-Snapdragon split strategy for the Galaxy S26 in 2026, much like it did with the Galaxy S24. Additionally, the company may offer in-house chipsets in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, while the United States is expected to receive a Snapdragon SoC. Samsung’s last offering of Snapdragon chipsets with all phones was the Galaxy S23 series.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to come with massive camera upgrades including a new 50 MP ultra-wide sensor, bigger than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, Samsung may retain the 200 MP primary shooter and telephoto lens. For selfies, it may come with a 32 MP front camera.
