The Samsung Galaxy S25 could be extremely powerful – but nothing compared to the S26

Pabio December 2, 2024

A leak suggests that the next Snapdragon chipset could be at least 20% more powerful than the current one.
But it could also cost a lot more
This chipset is likely to be used in the Samsung Galaxy S26

All signs point to SamsungGalaxy S25 series being extremely powerful, largely thanks to these phones probably using the Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset. But while The Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers true laptop-level powerThe Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 could once again be significantly more powerful.

Leak Digital Chat Station (via NotebookCheck) claimed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will be at least 20% more powerful than the current chipset, while remaining power efficient.

And while we don’t yet know for sure which phones will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, based on past form, we can be almost certain that the Samsung The Galaxy S26 Ultra will, and it’s very likely that the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup will as well, at least in some parts of the world. Beyond these phones, many other high-end 2026 Androids are also likely to use it.

A costly upgrade

However, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 could also have a downside, due to a leak @Jukanlosreve claimed that its price is expected to “increase significantly” compared to the first-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite. And if it costs more, that could mean phones that use it will also cost more.

Qualcomm is expected to significantly increase the unit price of the 8 Elite 2nd Gen AP, just like it did this year.Key Points:•Due to various internal and external factors, the price of the 8 Elite 2nd Gen is expected to increase significantly . •Notifications have been sent to…December 2, 2024

The first-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite is believed to cost phone makers significantly more than the previous generation chipset, which could make the Samsung Galaxy S25 and other upcoming phones cost more than their predecessors – and if this latest leak is accurate, then we could be looking at at least two straight years of rising prices.

This would be a shame, even if it allowed the use of extremely powerful devices, but it is worth remembering that these are extremely early leaks. The first-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite was only announced in October, and barely any phones use it yet, so we’re probably still nearly a year away from seeing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2.

As such, we would take these leaks with a pinch of salt, because while they reflect Qualcomm’s current plans and goals, a lot could change over the next year.
