Europe always seizes headlines whenever Samsung launches its flagship phones. The company has had a history of shipping Exynos chip models in the region. Well, the good news is Galaxy S25 Ultra will ship with Snapdragon 8 Elite in Europe.
In a recent development, Roland Quandt revealed the Galaxy S25 Ultra uses Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12GB RAM in Europe. The latest input aligns with the recent Geekbench listing that teased the upcoming SoC with 4.47GHz frequency.
The S25 Ultra could debut Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy across European countries. The chip that appeared on Geekbench had a higher CPU frequency than the US model. However, there was no massive difference in single-core performance.
Samsung out there testing SD8G4 / SD8ELITE whatever it is called in the Euro S25U w/ 12 GB RAM at 4,47 Ghz…….

The handset was possibly equipping Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy. It had two cores clocked at 4.47GHz and six cores clocked at 3.53GHz. The scores are 3011 points and 9706 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
There were rumors that the South Korean tech giant would use Exynos chipset in certain regions. However, the yield issues seemingly becoming true as we’ve seen no signs of an Exynos 2500 processor in the recent past.
It was also reported that the company could replace Exynos with a flagship MediaTek chip. Nevertheless, the MediaTek SoC is being used in the recently launched Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Tab S10 Ultra internationally.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series in January next year. We have got an early idea of the design language of the upcoming flagships. Meanwhile, more genuine details will come out as we approach the official debut in January 2025.
Samsung officially launched the Health Research Stack to upscale the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring experiences. The project aims to strengthen data-based digital health research, ultimately benefitting developers and end users.
The new project’s debut shows Samsung values precise data measurement and analysis. It’s an open-source project, which supports digital health research using mobile and wearable devices in Android and Wear OS environments.
Samsung Health Research Stack platform provides IT developers and medical researchers with a software environment to conveniently and safely plan services using relevant data. It aims to help researchers implement the features they want.
Samsung Health Research Stack promotes more efficient digital health research. It has many features including an app SDK for easy app creation, a back-end service to manage data collected by the app and a web portal to assist with research design and data analysis.
It features enhanced support for the Sensor SDK to help researchers create watch apps, which measure and utilize electrocardiogram, blood oxygen level, and body composition data from the innovative Galaxy Watch and Ring sensors.
SDC24…
Samsung confirmed that the new Health Research Stack will be showcased at the Developer Conference 2024 on October 3 in San Jose, California. Developers can join a Code Lab session during the event to experience the latest features firsthand.
Samsung is working on the new Galaxy S flagship models for 2025. Recently, an alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra was spotted running a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with 8GB RAM. It’s quite scary input, suggesting a terrible downgrade if true.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra was previously spotted with the upcoming Snapdragon chip with 12GB of RAM. The chipset frequency was different for the US and European models. However, the RAM paired with the SoC was 12GB.
The alleged S25 Ultra was benchmarked on Geekbench 6.3.0. The handset secured 1456 points and 6522 points in single-core and multi-core tests. These scores are quite scary as the 12GB model exceeded 3000 and 9000 points.
Fake listing?
It is indeed possible. Someone may have just trickled the model number to list a fake entry on Geekbench. We can’t assume Samsung could bring an 8GB variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra as it’s not sufficient on the base model either.
Samsung will be using Snapdragon 8 Elite for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone will have at least 12GB of RAM, while a 16GB RAM option is also reportedly coming. If the 8GB RAM listing is genuine, we hope Samsung will abandon it.
The Korean tech giant is currently working on One UI 7, while the S25 series will come pre-loaded with One UI 7.1. There’s a remaining three months left in the launch, hence performance is expected to rise further with software optimization.
