Samsung Galaxy S25 Could Redefine Mobile Gaming with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
Earlier this year, Samsung debuted its premium Galaxy S24 series. Now it has already started to work on the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is supposed to debut in 2025. This series will be beneficial for gaming purposes, as the report says.
Before any official announcement from the giant’s side, leaks and rumors have been blowing in the market for so long regarding the features and specs of the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series. It has already been reported that it could be based on its in-house chipset or maybe MediaTek chips. Let’s take a closer look at the rumors.
A new report suggests that at least some units of Galaxy S25 series devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This processor will make it a gaming powerhouse. If the report from Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station reported by NotebookCheck is to be believed, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has AI-powered frame generation technology.
Somewhere, it seems similar to AMD’s FSR and Nvidia’s DLSS. It is reported that the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 4chipset will boast AI-powered frame-generation technology; the chip is powerful enough to run Genshin Impact at 1080p resolution and a 120fps frame than the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s 60fps limit.
AI-powered frame generation will not only deliver a seamless and smooth gaming experience but also bring higher input lag and graphics artifacts. It’s expected that Qualcomm will handle those issues with its upcoming flagship chip, which will be unveiled in October 2024.
The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 features Qulacomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and the Andreno 830 GPU, which is clocked at 935 MHz. It is reported that this chip is fabricated using TSMC’s 3nm process node and could be costlier than its predecessor.
