Samsung's Exynos 2500, initially slated for the Galaxy S25, has been delayed due to low production yields. Benchmark tests reveal significantly weaker single-core (2012) and multi-core (7563) performance compared to competitors like Snapdragon 8 Elite, Apple's A19, and Xiaomi's XRING 01. The Exynos 2500 will power the Galaxy Z Flip 7, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite. While cost-effective for Samsung, the chip's performance raises concerns about future Exynos iterations.
