Snapdragon Summit 2024, the chipmaker's annual event to unveil its flagship smartphone processor, kicked off on Monday with the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This high-end smartphone chipset is confirmed to come to smartphones from various brands including Asus, iQOO, Honor, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Vivo and Xiaomi. South Korean tech conglomerate Samsung has also revealed that its upcoming phones will be equipped with the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, introduced by Qualcomm last year.
Samsung confirms that the next Galaxy smartphones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip
At the current Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, Samsung Cell president TM Roh stated that the upcoming Galaxy phones would be equipped with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Since Samsung's Galaxy S and Z series models are the company's highest-end smartphones, we can assume that the Galaxy S25 series will be the first Samsung phones to arrive with the new processor.
“Qualcomm will help us advance further with Qualcomm's expertise in intelligent computing, and the commitment to advancing mobile AI will be an important part of future Galaxy AI experiences,” Roh said at the event.
It did not reveal which smartphones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, so it is unclear whether all successors to the Galaxy S24 series will feature the newly introduced processor.
While Samsung equipped all three models in the Galaxy S23 series with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip customized for Galaxy, only the Extremely model in the Galaxy S24 series features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the standard and Plus models had a Exynos 2400 processor in most markets.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could also power the successors to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones, but these models are not expected to arrive until the second half of 2025. On the other hand, the Galaxy series of smartphones S25 is expected to arrive in early 2025, alongside Samsung's Android 15-based One UI 7 software update.
