Seoul, South Korea – Samsung has revealed to Korean sources that its production yields for the Exynos 2500 chipset are on the rise after experiencing some challenges in previous months. This improvement comes as a positive sign for the tech giant, as it prepares to incorporate the Exynos 2500 SoC into its upcoming models, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip FE, anticipated to be released in 2025. However, the decision to use the Exynos chipset may spark debate, given its mixed reputation in recent years.
Interestingly, the reports fail to mention the Galaxy Z Fold7, leaving room for speculation that this model could potentially be equipped with a Qualcomm chip instead. This move would align with Samsung’s strategy of catering the Fold series towards enthusiasts while targeting a broader audience for the Flip devices with a focus on style. If this speculation holds true, it indicates Samsung’s intention to maintain appeal among tech enthusiasts by opting for a different chipset for the high-end Fold devices.
Originally slated to debut in the Galaxy S25 series in January, the Exynos 2500 faced yield challenges prompting Samsung to switch to Qualcomm chips for those models. The tech company’s decision to prioritize functionality and performance over brand loyalty highlights the competitive nature of the smartphone industry. This strategic move illustrates Samsung’s commitment to delivering top-notch technology to its consumers, regardless of which chipset is ultimately selected for each device.
