That would be an interesting change of strategy.

Just got an S24+ with Exynos and while the build is great, the SOC is not so i'm definitely going to see what spicy trade in deals there'll be in Australia when the S25 releases...

    Another thing, Samsung should consider using only Mediatek Dimensity chips for its midrange A-series Galaxy phones, if it wants to lower costs and give better value for money.

    This will anger the Exynos engineers and those South Korean workers' unions, but you'll sell more phones, trust me on this.

    To recap my recommendations:

    Galaxy S-series: Qualcomm Snapdragon
    Galaxy A-series: Mediatek Dimensity
    Galaxy Z-series: Exynos
    Galaxy watches: Exynos
    ---
    Samsung tablet: Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite (assuming you are serious about competing with Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad). Forget about releasing 'budget' tablets.

      I wouldn't wish Exynos on my worst enemy.

      It's an inferior product, collaboration with AMD is pointless, it's just Samsung trying to rake in more profit by avoiding paying the Qualcomm tax. That's all.

Makes sense. Here in Brazil, people criticize when the S series comes with Exynos instead of Snapdragon due to performance differences.

            If someone want to buy Foldable they have limited options especially west because many Big Chinese Oem their Foldables are China Exclusive.

            You think Samsung Treat Foldables as their Most premium product? then explain to me why they put inferior hardware compare to Flagship S series? From Camera, Battery and other things.

              Hemedans, 03 Sep 2024Because Apple don't make Foldables, so even if AI expe... moreHuh? Read again what you typed and see how dumb that logic is. There's a reason why Samsung intentionally put all snapdragons on all foldables from day 1. It's their most premium product, with pricing above iPhones and rivalling laptops, and targeting niche and enthusiasts. Putting Exynos in them is literally marketing suicide, especially with the Fold 6 series are not selling that well as they expected. The target market of Samsung foldables will expect the best hardware, aka the latest Snapdragon. They don't care about whether Apple has foldables or not.

                potato4k, 03 Sep 2024If that's the case, then why use Exynos on the more pr... moreBecause Apple don't make Foldables, so even if AI experience isn't 100% same as S series customers won't have Alternative in Apple Ecosystem.

                  oxidation in intel cpu chips/silicons and voltage that causing quick degradation, that never happen before, simply because intel rushing their cpu + trying to beat amd ryzen cpu

                  most people know about tech been putting intel aside for now, until things get solved

                    I guess it's good news if they are true , that all the S25s will use snapdragon... I have used other phones for the last few years but will probably start using Samsung again if the SD 8 gen 4 turns out to be an efficient and powerful chip

                    Do you guys know or are there rumours if the cameras will be upgraded also ?

                    I could be wrong but I think they have been using the same sensors for a few years now, without any major improvements

                          why not just do exynos 2500 in every model or sumsung really concern about the yield

                                  Just let Exynos die already. Its cousin already lives on in Pixel's Tensor.

                                  And if you want to make a midrange phone, Mediatek Dimensity is much better than anything Exynos. Collaboration with AMD will not save it.

                                        By looks of it sd 8 gen 4 NPU will outclass E2500 one.
