Improved battery life and enhanced image processing are achieved only when a device can avail enough performance by consuming less power. Samsung is working with some high-end hardware and software for its Galaxy S25 series.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC comes with 2 high-performance and 6 medium-performance Phoenix cores and has a maximum frequency of 4.32 GHz. This improves CPU performance by 44% and GPU performance by 40%. With this, the single-core and multi-core performance will be improved by 45% and web browsing will show a 62% quick response.

Back in 2022, Samsung discontinued its in-house SoC, Exynos. Several sources suggested that the Galaxy S25 series may come with Exynos 2500 SoC.
