Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Launch Approaches: Exynos 2500 Chipset Spotted on Geekbench Amid Speculation

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch in a few months, and before that arrives the Exynos 2500 SoC has appeared on Geekbench. While this is by no means a confirmation of anything, the news raises questions about if we will see this chip land in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series as per earlier reports. It was recently rumored that the series may feature Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets too.

The Exynos 2500 is listed on the benchmarking site as S5E995, which is the identifier that looks like a variation of its predecessor but now with two additional prime CPU cores. It has a 10-core architecture with three Cortex-X925 cores running at 2.59GHz, five more performance-efficient Cortex-A725 cores speed up to, and then two further power-saving Corext-A520 cores pitched even lower at. A pair of extra 1.3 GHz cores have also been added to the GPU, which is based on AMD Radeon technology.

We should, however, point out this is for an Exynos Reference Design (ERD) listing which means the benchmark isn’t a specific device so just because we see that mighty high score it doesn’t guarantee Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series will use the Exynos 2500.

Recent reports have indicated that Samsung may opt to forgo the Exynos SoC for the Galaxy S25 series in all markets, choosing instead to launch it with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Furthermore, it has been mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could be equipped with the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 9400.

Additionally, some reports suggest that the upcoming Exynos 2500 chipset may find its way into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 instead of being paired with Qualcomm chipsets. It’s essential to keep in mind that these details remain speculative, with more information about the chipset expected to emerge later.
