Samsung’s charming Galaxy S25 Ultra with a redesigned camera has leaked again

Samsung President TM Roh attends the Snapdragon Summit to discuss the Galaxy S25 chip and XR. Qualcomm will launch its next flagship mobile chipset this month. Samsung is preparing to source all Galaxy S25 series chips from Qualcomm.

According to Hankyung (via Jukanlosreve/X), Samsung Prez TM Roh will be attending the Snapdragon Summit, with discussions about the Galaxy S25 series chip and developing XR devices with Qualcomm and Google.

TM Roh’s talks will also focus on improving Samsung’s collaboration with Qualcomm. The official will board a flight to Hawaii next week to attend Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, where Snapdragon 8 Elite (8 Gen 4) will be released.

Samsung is just as important to Qualcomm as Google. Most Android vendors will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. However, Samsung alone sells the majority of flagship phones that would be equipped with the next Snapdragon.

Snapdragon 8 Elite is the first Qualcomm SoC to be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process technology. Therefore, TM Roh’s meeting with Qualcomm management, including CEO Cristiano Amon, will focus on chip supply and price negotiations.

Previously, Samsung had planned to use Exynos 2500 alongside Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, the company’s foundry division is in crisis due to lower than expected yields. Therefore, the next-generation Galaxy S models could exclusively use Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Concerns remain about possible significant price increases if Samsung were to rely solely on Qualcomm for all chip supplies. Therefore, TM Roh’s Hawaii visit becomes a crucial but welcome step in the price freeze.
