Overview

  • Samsung plans to use its in-house Exynos 2400e chipset for the Galaxy S25 FE but is preparing MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 as a fallback in case of production issues.
  • The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to maintain its budget-friendly pricing even if the more expensive Dimensity 9400 is used.
  • Leaks indicate the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature Samsung's new Exynos 2500 chipset, marking a shift from Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors in its foldable lineup.
  • Benchmark data suggests the Galaxy Z Flip FE will recycle the older Exynos 2400 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM, to reduce costs for the entry-level foldable model.
  • Samsung's broader strategy reflects an increased reliance on in-house Exynos processors to optimize costs and reduce dependence on external suppliers.
