Samsung has used a combination of different hardware for its Galaxy S flagship phones over the last decade, often choosing Snapdragon and Exynos in different regions and models. And now it looks like the manufacturer isn’t ready to switch away from its own chipset just yet.

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S24 series with an Exynos chip in some regions other than the U.S., and that is likely to happen with the successor models, too.

Samsung could pull a similar trick with the Galaxy S25 family, namely release the three expected handsets—the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra—in mid-January and hold back the presumptively named S25 Slim for a few months.
