We're still soaking up everything the Samsung Galaxy S24 phones have to offer (check out our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review for some details), but we're also seeing leaks for next year's Samsung Galaxy S25 series.
According to seasoned tipster Digital Chat Station (via Wccftech), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset that is expected to power the Galaxy S25, as well as several other 2025 Android flagships, is on track to hit 4 GHz in terms of clock speed.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found inside the Samsung Galaxy S24 phones in some regions maxes out at 3.30 GHz, so you can see the kind of performance boost we're talking about: these phones will be faster than ever .
Part of the performance improvement is rumored to be due to a switch to a 3-nanometer process, which essentially means packing more processing power into a smaller space, resulting in improved speeds and more efficient operation (which in theory it should have a positive effect on the battery). life too).
Performance and prices
The tipster uses the nickname “Tongzi” to refer to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and while we don't fully understand the reference, it's clear from the comments and reports that this is referring to Qualcomm's upcoming chipset (and it's a nickname that Digital Chat Station has used before).
Early reports on the performance levels offered by the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are promising, although a Qualcomm executive has predicted a price increase for the processors, which Samsung may well have to pass on to consumers.
When it comes to the Galaxy S25 specifically, the only other rumor we've heard about this series of phones is that improved cameras, powered by Sony sensors, are on the way. Faster speeds, better photos and videos – what's not to love?
It's also worth noting that Samsung has installed its own Exynos 2400 processor in the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 in some regions, including the UK and Europe, instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. So far, it's not sure if this will happen. next year too.
