    Who cares, they will again try to milk the people with 1300-1500€ for something with 6" screen. Google play store doesn't have anything worth upgrading even 5y old phone :(

          Yeah, I'm done with uograding phones. It's like inverting your socks and claiming you got new ones. Literally the most boring yet disgustingly expensive industry right now.

          I've had every single S phone, and I'm stopping at S24 Ultra. There's zero improvements ahead, just forking out money for nothing. Heck, buying a Nokia feature phone sounds more exciting a prospect.

            Slim version sounds interesting. Hope they get it right the first time as the hardware form factor may have impact on performance and reliability.

              I think this is believable now. It's beneficial for both parties. Qualcomm SD8Elite is an "M1" moment for Qualcomm. They need an OEM that can ship this into majority of markets in the world, which is Samsung. All the Chinese don't have as wide market coverage as Samsung.

              It also explains why Samsung is using Snapdragon for their upcoming A36. It made no sense since Exynos 1380 and 1480 are doing great, and Samsung had not used Snapdragon on their midrange since A52s. They probably got a deal to get decent pricing on the SD8 Elite by buying the mid range Qualcomm chips as part of the package.

                samsung should partner with google and use tensor g chip for s series

                  It's good that Samsung only launches Exynos chips when they are actually competitive yet not give up on them entirely. That's fair to consumers while still having competition for Qualcomm.

                    8 elite is a heater, hope all phones have big cooling chamber else green line on screen is inevitable.

                      I'd use exynos if it were cheaper. I don't need all that power but I do need the power efficiency.

                      How about introducing Mediatek in an S-lineup? That's their leverage against Qualcomm. Exynos clearly is no leverage against the 8 Elite.

                      Samsung needs to stop keeping their fab on life support. If it fails it fails. It clearly needs new management. If AMD can rise from the dead, so can Samsung's fab.

                            People are reading BETWEEN the lines and not the actual words. IU has DELIBERATELY used to defend his actual "no knowledge" of Samsung's intentions

                            Here is the tweet
                            "I reiterate that all versions of th Galaxy S25 series in the world adopt Snapdragon 8 Elite, and will not adopt Exynos"

                            A request NOT a prediction
                            Clearly IU knew that another vague tweet without foundation would be misinterpreted

                            Here is the request NOT prediction

                            I reiterate that all versions of the Galaxy S25 series in the world ADOPT Snapdragon 8 Elite, and (should not) ADOPT Exynos

                            If..if IU knew this or had any belief he would have written without using "ADOPT" TWICE

                            I reiterate that all versions of the Galaxy S25 series in the world WILL use Snapdragon 8 Elite.

                              I can see this being true. And even I would be tempted to buy one.
                              The only problem for me would be: root, Widevine, and Custom Roms.

                              The S24+ was the perfect size and weight. It was let down by the chipset, but not the screen. And the price was too much for the cameras you were getting. I could have justified the last two big drawbacks, if there was a variant with Snapdragon and Custom Roms.

                              Fyi, the S24 Ultra fixes the chipset issue, and the camera is impressive. Plus the S Pen is neat. But it is too heavy and too large. But it also lacks any software support for root + Widevine, or Custom Roms. That is only achieved on Pixel phones these days, but you're getting a mid-range phone at luxury prices.... so there are even more compromises to make!

                              Let's just say it is no longer 2016, the Android Phone market has gone backwards since then!

                                Every leakster says that it will use something different, Exynos, Dimensity or maybe even Snapdragon, but they don't know the real truth. Samsung is actually going all Unisoc starting with the S25 series.

                                  I think some variants will have exynos and those sold in the us will have Qualcomm sd like the past years. This rumor doesn't fit the pattern Samsung has had for the last years.

                                      This is so good. Dragon everywhere. And huge improvement this time. Much faster.

                                        It really doesn't mean much if the rest of the hardware are basically going to be unchanged from S24, which is essentially the same as S23.
