With the launch of the Galaxy S25 phones only two weeks away from now (January 8) Samsung Foundry has finally resolved (translated source) yield issues for the Exynos 2500. The processor was supposed to be used in the Galaxy S25 lineup but had to be abandoned for the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Samsung Foundry had a challenging 2024 — something that it admitted itself — but has recently made significant progress in the right direction. Only a short while ago the foundry said that it had stabilized its 3 nm chip production: something it had been struggling with for quite a long time.
Now an insider reports that Samsung has not only resolved yield issues for the Exynos 2500 but also plans to use the processor in the upcoming Z series phones. Understandably it’s a bit too late to incorporate the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 phones which is something that some enthusiasts will be thankful for.
But the company is also gearing up to lock some of its AI offerings behind a subscription which might turn off many users. For those who don’t care about AI the Galaxy S25 series will consist of some of the best phones of 2025. But if you want to make use of all of Samsung’s offerings you’re going to have to shell out a bit more cash.
