Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra tipped to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite globally – and that’s a good thing


Samsung is giving its most powerful phone of 2025 the most powerful chip, which is great news

The latest rumor suggests that Samsung will exclusively use the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in the S25 family, including the powerful Galaxy S25 Ultra. Ice Universe, a tech leaker who has a pretty solid track record, shared on X that the entire Galaxy S25 series would get the Snapdragon 8 Elite and that it would be the only chip available for the phones globally. That part remains unclear, but in previous years, “for Galaxy” versions of Snapdragons chips were typically 10-15% quicker than their ordinary counterparts.
