Samsung Galaxy S25’s Exynos 2500 unlikely due to low 3nm GAA yield
Samsung is unlikely to produce Exynos 2500 due to low 3nm GAA yield. While Samsung is denying any issues in its 3nm production facility, things seem not to be good. A new report indicates that Samsung’s 3nm GAA yields are at less than 20%.
China’s MyDrivers report that Samsung’s 3nm GAA yields are at less than 20 percent. While there’s a long gap in the platform’s debut, yield may not improve significantly. It would result in Samsung to cancel the production of its next flagship Exynos chip.
Recently, there were rumors that MediaTek would replace Exynos in next Samsung flagships. The company is allegedly collaborating with MediaTek to develop custom Dimensity chip. If the possible discussion goes well, we might see the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus with Dimensity chip.

Samsung executive’s statement on 3nm GAA yield suggest that it won’t easily let go on Exynos 2500. Cancelling its next flagship Exynos would send a wrong message to its potential clients. However, damaging reputation of Samsung Mobile to safeguard Exynos value won’t be a good deal.
Qualcomm is slated to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October this year. This flagship chipset is expected to power the Galaxy S25 Ultra, internationally. The company’s latest and greatest SoC will feature custom Oryon CPU with a significant performance boost.

Samsung is working on Galaxy S25 (not Plus) and S25 Ultra, expected to launch in January next year. The company is expected to change with its next flagship lineup radically. A new report suggests that the change won’t be limited to design refreshment but also simplify the series.
AndroidHeadlines spotted Samsung developing Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra. Unfortunately, the source failed to fetch the existence of the Galaxy S25 Plus. This means the Korean tech giant may abandon the Plus model to simplify the flagship lineup.
In its own database, the outlet spotted the existence of the S25 and S25 Ultra. The lack of the Plus model aligns with previous rumors about the company discontinuing the Plus variant. The rumor was for Galaxy S24 Plus, but seemingly becoming true next year.
Per the report, the Galaxy S25 is available with the model number SM-S931B/DS in the IMEI database. Besides, the S25 Ultra appears under SM-S938B, SM-S938U, SM-S938N, and SM-S9380 model numbers—where “B” stands for Global, “U” for USA, and “N” for South Korea.
Plus going away?
It won’t be quite surprising if Samsung cancels the Plus variant in 2025. It has been observed that the middle child somehow fails to gain sales momentum. This year, Samsung brought many fruitful upgrades to Galaxy S24 Plus, but Standard and Ultra sold the most.
Since 2020, Samsung launched three variants of its Galaxy S flagship series – Standard, Plus, and Ultra. As the Note lineup has been discontinued, the foldable segment is gradually entering the mainstream. Further simplification might be done with the Galaxy S25 series by ditching Plus.
After the 5G variant, Samsung is rolling out the One UI 6.1 update based on Android 14 for the Galaxy A13 4G smartphone. The new update brings new features and enhancements to provide a better Galaxy experience.
Users of the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G smartphone are receiving the One UI 6.1 update with One UI build version ending with EXE3 and an installation package size of around 1.4GB.
One UI 6.1 adds depth effects to wallpapers, new widgets, and various font choices for better personalization. Users can now organize Modes and Routines directly from the home screen, and the Quick Share feature simplifies content sharing.
Moreover, the Samsung Find app and child account settings support security and family management. Samsung Internet allows tab group sharing, while Samsung Health offers customizable health goals and menstrual cycle tracking.
For advanced editing, the update adds precise clipping and object transfer between photos. It enhances video editing with speed adjustments and cross-device state sharing.
You can download the update to get benefits through new features and enhancements. You need to visit your smartphone’s Settings app >> Software Update >> Download and install.
