Samsung has already shaken up the mobile industry with its recently launched Galaxy S24 flagship series. And now it’s turn for the next generation flagship, obviously the ‘Galaxy S25.’
The mobile industry is waiting for the next two tough competitors: the Galaxy S25 series and the iPhone 16 series. And it appears that Samsung will lead the race.
As per the collaboration between Qualcomm and Samsung, Qualcomm supplies Snapdragon processors for future Galaxy smartphones. The Galaxy S24 series already gets powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and now it’s time for the next-generation products of both brands.
- Samsung Galaxy S25 series
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, as the Snapdragon already peaked in October this year. The reports are reporting from China that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be capable of achieving a single-core of 3,500 points.
On the other hand, the next-generation iPhone 16 will be powered by the Apple A18 chipset, which is reported to achieve 3,300 points in the test. From this prospect, it appears that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s multi-core and GPU performance will be faster than that of the Apple A18.
Fortunately, if these leaks come true, then the Samsung Galaxy S25 will beat the iPhone 16 in single-core performance for the first time.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be the first chipset from Qualcomm to use the N3E (3nm) fabrication process.
According to leaks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will have the Oryon cores as prime cores and the Pheonix cores as high-performance cores. Qualcomm will clock the Oryon cores at 4.3GHz, a figure that is quite new in the mobile industry, and the Phoenix cores at 3.8GHz. It is also reported that the chipset could draw 1.3V of power to reach those frequencies, which could cause multiple issues, for instance, overheating and thermal throttling.
