nion, 23 Oct 2024I bought a new phone one year too early lol Should have wai... moreYour own fault for not keeping up with news and researching beforehand. It has been known before the release of 8 gen 3 that gen 4 (Elite now) would bring a massive performance boost because of oryon cores, so a lot of people were recommending everyone to sit this one out and wait.

But, as always, people were saying "WAIT FOR GEN 5 THEN BECAUSE IT WILL BE BETTER THAN GEN 4", without really knowing what they're talking about. Of course it will be better, the important thing here is the generational leap between 3 and 4 in terms of performance is bigger than 4 and 5 (or whatever they'll call it).

      If you have an S24 just add a camera lens protector that looks like S25 rings and voilà you have an S25.

          ashrobb, 23 Oct 2024Well, obviously. Exynos 2500 probably can't compete he... moreNah, it's more of yield issue. If yield was not an issue, Samsung would've used Exynos 2500 on all S25 lineup, just as rumored.

            samsung should just stick with snapdragon all the way.

              Well, obviously. Exynos 2500 probably can't compete head to head with 8 Elite, so the best choice is just to pay Qualcomm and use it while they improve their own stuff.

                The Exynos 2400 is perfectly fine for 99% of users. That said, there really shouldn't be a split especially when users are still paying top dollar for a technically inferior chipset.

                    More comment bait.. it will be segmented like last year.. watch this space

                      nion, 23 Oct 2024I bought a new phone one year too early lol Should have wai... moreI have an S23, will wait to buy the S25 when S26 launches. Will go for S26 only if their is some crazy upgrade like new Si/C battery tech giving huge boost to battery life, otherwise discounted S25 with SD chip would be best.

                        Bummer because the dim 9400 is almost equal in performance in real world scenarios to the 8 elite while being cheaper

                        There is slight difference in efficiency overall

                        But I like the supposed 8 year software support that the 8 elite offers

                            Too bad they're sticking with 5000mAh. Competitors are all going for higher capacity new battery.

                              mawlki, 23 Oct 2024This sucks for fold 7 users 🤣 I believe Samsung would continue using Snapdragon for their foldables.

                                Alright, sweet. I believe it's confirmed. Exynos 2500 is having yield issue, and going Dimensity on just one of the model would create inconsistencies within the lineup. The only concern left is price increase, as it is inevitable if Samsung goes with Qualcomm.

                                      It's not worth upgrading every year better going 2-3 years you ain't gonna notice the difference in real use but once I plan to keep for 2-3 years it's gonna take some to improve on this for next year imo

                                        Anonymous, 23 Oct 2024This isn't suppose to be a debate, when will Samsung j... moreYour point is moot, as already THREE generations of ULTRA got the snapdragon WORLDWIDE. The vanilla and + versions had exynos in certain parts of the world and whole S23 series got snapdragonned.
                                        For vanilla S22 it sucked. S24+ has good battery life, better then SD S23+ when on wifi.
