Since Qualcomm has officially released the Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus, coupled with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 expected to be released in October, Samsung may face another problem. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is said to adopt a dual-chipset strategy, and some models will be equipped with Exynos 2500 processors. There were previous rumors that the Exynos 2500 will be launched in two versions, one with an eight-core CPU cluster and the other with a ten-core CPU cluster.
The version with a higher core count may be tailored for large-screen devices such as tablets, and referring to the previous Galaxy Tab Ultra model, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is expected to use the same huge 14.6-inch display. With such size and cooling capabilities, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra can be powered by Snapdragon X Elite, Snapdragon X Plus, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and Exynos 2500 processors. However, Samsung seems to be in a dilemma when it comes to choosing a processor.
On the one hand, if it uses the Exynos 2500 processor, Samsung can save component costs and avoid paying Qualcomm's premium.However, this also means that the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra may lag behind Apple's next-generation rumored M3 chip in terms of performance. iPad Pro series of products. On the other hand, if Samsung uses Qualcomm's chipset, it will not only have to pay extra, but it will also not be financially worthwhile considering that Samsung does not have a high share of the global tablet market.
