Samsung is updating its strategy in the smartphone market with a significant change. The company is said to only use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors in its Galaxy S25 and S26 models. This decision came right after Qualcomm introduced its Snapdragon 8 Elite processor this week. Previously, Samsung used both Snapdragon and its own Exynos processors in its flagship phones. Some models also opted for MediaTek processors. However, according to new information, Samsung will completely switch to Snapdragon for these two models. This marks a significant shift in the company’s processor strategy and could affect market dynamics.
Samsung Enters a New Era in Processor Usage
Additionally, it is mentioned that Samsung is working on a new Exynos processor manufactured with 2nm technology and plans to use it in the Galaxy S27 model. However, due to current disagreements between Arm and Qualcomm, uncertainties may occur during this period. The outcomes of processor preferences in the smartphone market and the impacts of Samsung’s strategic move on competition are eagerly anticipated.
