• Samsung is reportedly making a concerted effort to improve the yields of its Exynos 2500 chip so it can be used in the Galaxy S25 series.
• The chip purportedly saw yields of just under 20% in Q2, while 60%+ or higher is apparently required for mass production.
• A failure to improve yields means that Samsung will need to exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in next year’s Galaxy S25 phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is available with in-house Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. However, there seems to be uncertainty over whether the Galaxy S25 series will use Exynos silicon. Now, a new report suggests that Samsung is making a concerted effort to make an Exynos-powered Galaxy S25 a reality.

ZDNet Korea reports that Samsung is making “all-out efforts” to improve the yield of the upcoming Samsung Exynos 2500 processor. The outlet reports that Samsung’s LSI division is focused on improving the yield of the new chip by the second half of the year.
