Samsung May Charge 30% Premium for Galaxy S25 Series Due to Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Exclusivity Amid Exynos 2500 Delay

The Exynos 2500 has been leaking for months, however unlike Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is slated to be available soon the Exynos chip lacks any official debut time frame. These rumors have prompted speculation that Samsung could be forced to launch the Galaxy S25 series exclusively with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Then, the price of the Galaxy S25 models may rise substantially by almost 30%.

This would mean the Exynos 2500 planned for this year may have to be delayed due to Samsung’s poor yields on its most advanced 3nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology, as previously forecasted by TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Therefore, we might see Samsung using only Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset for the Galaxy S25 series. Although Samsung had planned on returning to a dual-chipset strategy in its 2025 flagship lineup, pairing an Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 with each model, the lack of any definitive release date for the Exynos product raises questions about this specific promotion.

Yamazaki said that the Galaxy S25 price could go up by as much as 30 percent if it uses only Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This additional cost would then be paid directly by the consumer, or Samsung could feel the effect of it as a cut in their profit margin. Qualcomm is also expected to release two versions of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: one with Wi-Fi only and another with an integrated 5G modem.

If Samsung does pick the Snapdragon X80 modem for the Galaxy S25, Qualcomm could also charge a higher fee; something that will push up prices even further per unit. While Samsung has also confirmed that it is satisfied with the yields for its 3nm GAA technology, as there currently isn’t an Exynos 2500 launch date set in stone yet, this complicates how soon users can expect to actually see them out on the market and puts even more pressure on Samsung’s successful resolution of the issue.
