According to a report, the Samsung Galaxy S25 could launch with a next-generation mobile processor built on the company’s 3nm technology. The company’s upcoming flagship Exynos chip is expected to offer better performance than its Qualcomm counterpart, which is expected to arrive by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the South Korean tech conglomerate is reportedly planning to equip its alleged Galaxy Watch 7 series with a new 3nm W-series chip that could offer improved performance compared to previous models.
According to Business Korea, Samsung is working on equipping the alleged Galaxy S25 series with a 3nm Exynos chip. As a result, the Exynos 2500 could power the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ in international markets, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be equipped with a successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. In the US, all three models could arrive with a Snapdragon processor.
While it’s still too early to predict the performance and efficiency of the successors to the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips, the report says that Samsung’s next flagship processor could beat Qualcomm’s chip in the power efficiency department.
The successors to the Galaxy S24 series may not be the only products from the company to come with the next-gen Exynos chip. Korea Economic Daily reports that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 will be the company’s first wearable to be equipped with a 3nm processor.
Samsung’s rumored 3nm chip for the Galaxy Watch 7 series is said to be called the Exynos W100, suggesting it could offer significant upgrades over the W900 series chips powering the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4. It will reportedly offer a 20 percent improvement in power and efficiency, thanks to Samsung’s second generation 3nm process node.
Both the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy Watch 7 aren’t expected until next year, meaning many of these leaked details could change. We can expect to learn more about the Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy Watch 7 series, including specifications and details, over the coming months.
