We’re still absorbing everything the Samsung Galaxy S24 phones have to offer – see our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review for some details – but we’re also already seeing leaks for next year’s Samsung Galaxy S25 series.
According to seasoned tipster Digital chat station (through Wccftech), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset expected to power the Galaxy S25 – as well as several other 2025 Android flagships – is on track to hit 4GHz in terms of clock speed.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found in Samsung Galaxy S24 handsets in some regions will reach a top speed of 3.30 GHz, so you can see the kind of performance boost we’re talking about: these phones will be faster than ever.
Rumor has it that part of the performance boost is due to a move to a 3 nanometer process, which essentially means packing more processing power into a smaller space, resulting in faster speeds and more efficient operation (which in theory is a should have a positive effect on battery capacity). life too).
Achievements and awards
The tipster uses the moniker “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 messaging surrounding it that it’s Qualcomm’s upcoming chipset being referred to (and the is a nickname that Digital Chat Station has used before).
Early reports on the performance levels of the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are promising, although a Qualcomm executive has predicted a price hike for the processors that Samsung may have to pass on to consumers.
As for the Galaxy S25 specifically, the only other rumor we’ve heard about this handset series is that upgraded cameras powered by Sony sensors are on the way. Faster speeds, better photos and videos – what’s not to like?
It’s also worth bearing in mind that Samsung has packed its own Exynos 2400 processor into the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24 in some regions, including the UK and Europe, rather than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is not yet certain whether this will happen. next year too.
