Exynos 2400 to make stunning comeback with Galaxy S24, Samsung boosted base RAM/Storage
Samsung Exynos 2400 processor is almost confirmed to make a stunning comeback with the Galaxy S24 series next year. The next flagship lineup will be equipped with both Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets (vary by market), helping Samsung boost the base RAM/Storage.
According to a report, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series could be equipped with Exynos 2400, apart from the next flagship Snapdragon chipset. With Exynos as an option, the company will have better negotiation power compared to the current situation of lack of own chipsets.
Exynos 2400 to perform well
After Exynos 2100, the Exynos 2200 didn’t perform satisfactorily when compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Also, chipsets manufactured at Samsung Foundry reported having low power efficiency and overheating issues, due to which Qualcomm entirely switched to TSMC.
Meanwhile, Samsung has reportedly improved its 4nm process technology, which will deliver great performance and efficiency on chipsets. It’s also said that the Exynos 2400 is getting positive reactions inside and outside, cementing its comeback with S24 next year.
“With the stabilization of Samsung Electronics’ 4-nano foundry process yield, there are positive reactions to the performance of the Exynos 2400 from inside and outside the company,” said an IT industry official.
More RAM, more Storage – Thanks Exynos!
Taking benefit of Exynos SoCs, the South Korean phone maker will equip the Galaxy S24 and S24 with 12GB of RAM and at least 256GB of internal storage. For the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it’s expected that the RAM would be settled at 16GB for all storage variants.
Per the company’s business report, it spent 9,313.8 billion won in 2022 on chipset purchases last year. The expenses increased by 49.9% compared to the cost of purchasing APs in 2021 (KRW 6,211.6 billion), as AP prices rose by 77% in one year.

Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy reveals Samsung’s bold flagship redesign
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.

Samsung dreams new camera with longer battery, less noise
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to feature impressive battery life with Snapdragon 8 Elite
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone is set to launch next year, which will likely offer big improvements in battery life with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The Galaxy S25 series phones will also bring amazing enhancements over the current S series models.
Qualcomm’s latest chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite, seems to be a powerhouse for future Android devices. Early tests of phones using this chip, like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro and OnePlus 13, show that it can help devices last much longer on a single charge.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite promises a 27% improvement in power efficiency compared to previous models. This means phones using this chip don’t need as much battery power to run, which leads to longer battery life.
In tests, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro saw its battery life increase by nearly 30%, despite only having a slightly larger battery than the last model. The OnePlus 13 also showed a 42% improvement, lasting about 17.5 hours in a battery test, up from just 12.2 hours in the previous OnePlus 12 model.
These results suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite could bring big changes to battery performance in future smartphones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s expected that users will be able to enjoy all-day use without needing to charge their phones as often.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely be performance-focused, especially with its advanced camera features and premium display. The long-lasting battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could make it a powerhouse, providing longer-time benefits of advanced performance.
