Google retracts report suggesting MediaTek chip in Galaxy S25

Exynos 2500 could not be commercialized in Galaxy S25 due to Samsung Foundry’s 3nm yield issues. Google recently published an erroneous report suggesting the flagship MediaTek Dimensity chipset in the Samsung Galaxy S25.

The erroneous report by Google spread widely following the early rumors of Samsung’s adoption of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 in the Galaxy S25. Google has now confirmed the error that it misreported MediaTek chip and Samsung.

The original quote shown on Google’s DeepMind website was as follows:

• For example, MediaTek, one of the top chip design companies in the world, extended AlphaChip to accelerate development of their most advanced chips — like the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung mobile phones — while improving power, performance and chip area.

After backlash, Google updated the section of paragraph – removing any reference to Samsung:

• External organisations are also adopting and building on AlphaChip. For example, MediaTek, one of the top chip design companies in the world, extended AlphaChip to accelerate development of their most advanced chips while improving power, performance and chip area.

The ‘Google DeepMind team’ reportedly confirmed to AndroidAuthority that the passage ‘Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung mobile phones’ was ‘erroneous’. Well, it doesn’t mean that Samsung won’t be using MediaTek in Galaxy.

Last month, the Tab S10 series debuted with Dimensity 9300+ internationally. It was the first time when Samsung utilized MediaTek chipset in its flagship product range. The Samsung-MediaTek partnership may expand further next year.

So far, we haven’t seen any clue about the Galaxy S25 with Exynos 2500. The Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra benchmarked with Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Therefore, it’s undeniable that the vanilla S25 could not ship with Dimensity 9400 SoC.
