The latest reports regarding the Galaxy S25 series claim that Samsung will skip the Exynos 2500 chip. The low yield rate issue on the company’s 3nm wafers was impossible to overcome in the required time. However, this does not imply that they have abandoned the development of their next flagship SoC. A new report claims that we will see the Exynos 2500 in Samsung’s foldables in 2025.

According to reports, the Galaxy S25 series will hit the market in January 2025. That left Samsung with very little room to resolve the issues at its factories. According to reports, the company made last-minute efforts to integrate the Exynos 2500 into its next-generation flagship smartphones. However, in the end they will have to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip across the entire lineup.

The Exynos 2500 chip tipped to be present in all next-gen Samsung foldables

That said, the next Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series will arrive in mid-2025. So, the South Korean giant has plenty of time to improve the yield rate on Samsung Foundry’s 3nm wafers until then. According to tipster Sanju Choudhary on X/Twitter, the Exynos 2500 chip will power Samsung’s next-generation foldable devices.

The post also includes some key specs for the SoC. The Exynos 2500 could feature a 10-core CPU architecture distributed across 3 clusters. The hardware could have 3x Cortex-X925 cores, 5x Cortex-A725 cores, and 2x Cortex-A520 cores. For gaming, an Xclipse 950 GPU may ensure high performance even in the most demanding titles.

Recent reports have revealed that Samsung will launch a tri-fold device, an affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Special Edition in 2025. The company is likely to integrate the Exynos 2500 chip across its entire foldable lineup. For reference, the latest Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 use Snapdragon hardware.

Mass production of Exynos 2500 for Galaxy S25 is unfeasible

Industry insiders have revealed that Samsung Foundry’s current 3nm yield rate is hovering between 10–20%, which makes it unfeasible to mass produce the Exynos 2500 chip for the Galaxy S25 series. After all, Galaxy S flagships typically sell tens of millions of units each year. However, the company expects to improve the situation significantly in the coming months.
