#Snapdragon 8 Gen 4

Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25, is reportedly ditching its in-house Exynos chips for a uniform Snapdragon experience worldwide. According to a report from Korean website Hankyung, all members of the Galaxy S25 family, including the vanilla S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra will opt for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC regardless of region. While Samsung's Exynos chips have shown improvement in recent years, they've consistently fallen short of Qualcomm's Snapdragon counterparts in terms of performance and efficiency. The Galaxy S24, for instance, saw a clear advantage for Snapdragon models in benchmarks and real-world usage. It will feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which also sees an unveiling in the same month at Qualcomm's annual Snapdragon Summit. Naturally, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be announced first, followed by the OnePlus 13 at a later date — likely in late October or early November. Aside from the new chipset, some changes may include an all 50-megapixel triple rear camera system, a 6000mAh battery, and OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15. Xiaomi apparently has a deal with Qualcomm to launch the first smartphone with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
