Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is already being talked about, even though the Samsung Galaxy S24 phones were recently released.
Performance Upgrade
Leaks suggest that the Galaxy S25 will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
This new chip is expected to have a clock speed of 4GHz, which is faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Galaxy S24 (max speed 3.30GHz).
The increased speed is because the new chip uses a 3-nanometer process, packing more power into a smaller space for better performance and efficiency.
Efficiency and Battery Life
The shift to the 3-nanometer process not only increases speed but also improves efficiency, potentially making the Galaxy S25 more energy-efficient and positively impacting battery life.
Nickname Tongzi
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is informally referred to as “Tongzi,” though the origin of the nickname is not clear.
It’s widely understood in comments and reports that “Tongzi” is a nickname for Qualcomm’s upcoming chipset.
Price Considerations
Reports indicate that the Qualcomm executive expects a price increase for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processors.
This potential increase in chipset costs may lead to higher overall costs for Samsung, which could then affect the consumers’ prices.
Camera Upgrades
Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 series will have upgraded cameras using Sony sensors.
This upgrade promises better photo and video quality.
Processor Uncertainty
In the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung used its own Exynos 2400 processor in some regions.
It’s uncertain if a similar approach will be taken with the Galaxy S25, meaning it’s not clear whether all regions will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or if Samsung will continue using its Exynos processor in some areas.
