Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones are powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC


Samsung just revealed new Galaxy S25 handsets at Unpacked. These devices are powered by custom-made Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets.

This SoC features the second-gen custom Qualcomm Oryon CPU, along with the Adreno GPU and the Hexagon NPU for AI tasks. The two companies worked closely together to create this custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite to reduce power consumption on Galaxy devices. This allows for “sharper-than-ever low light video capture capabilities”, even at 8K 30fps, all while “maintaining world-class power consumption efficiency.” Of course, the SoC was also customized to take full advantage of Samsung’s Gemini suite of AI tools.
