A pretty wild rumor out of Samsung’s home of Korea today claims the company is thinking about using MediaTek Dimensity chips for the Galaxy S25<\/a> family which is due to launch next year in January.<\/p>\n Not just<\/i> MediaTek chips, mind, but MediaTek Dimensity chips (presumably the Dimensity 9400) alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Samsung’s own Exynos 2500. So if this pans out (and that’s a huge if<\/i>), then the next flagship family from the Korean brand could have three different SoCs in various markets.<\/p>\n This, however, is far from a given, considering how even today’s rumor is only saying the company might<\/i> do this, not that it has already decided. The reasoning behind such a move has to do with Qualcomm’s oft-rumored price hike for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 coupled with the not-so-great yields on the Exynos 2500.<\/p>\n The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is rumored to cost around $190-200, while the 8 Gen 4 might be as much as $260 per unit. The Exynos 2500 yield is currently at about 40%, but 60% is needed in order to start mass production. Still, Samsung plans to improve this by August.<\/p>\n If the Exynos yields stay low and considering how expensive Qualcomm’s next high-end chip will be, it very well may serve Samsung to add in MediaTek to the mix – or at least try to use such a threat as a negotiating tactic with Qualcomm.<\/p>\n![\"Samsung](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/06\/samsung-galaxy-s25-mediatek-chipset-rumor\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
