In light of recent rumours that Samsung is having trouble producing its new flagship Exynos 2500 chip, and that the price of Qualcomm's next flagship chipset may increase, it is reported that Samsung may make a surprise decision on the processor choice for its upcoming Galaxy S25 flagship.

Samsung is still considering using its Exynos 2500 chipset in its Galaxy S25 line of smartphones for most markets. This decision could become a reality if the company can improve the manufacturing performance of the new chip.

Recently we wrote that Samsung might be equipping most of its smartphones with its own Exynos chips. Rumours on this topic continue to appear and now another insider has reported that this is likely to be the case.

Samsung has significantly increased its reliance on Qualcomm for high-end chipsets in recent years. Flexible screen smartphones have remained exclusively Snapdragon-powered, and the Galaxy S23 series also used Qualcomm's chipset exclusively. Samsung brought back Exynos only this year with the launch of the Galaxy S24 lineup, although Snapdragon variants exist in some markets.
