Galaxy S25 pricing - Opinion
It's clear that Samsung will absorb some but not all the extra cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. I expect a price increase of $100 for the base and plus, and none for the S25 Ultra.
It would be horrible to go back to S20 series prices. However, Qualcomm isn't making it easy with these mobile chips getting almost as expensive as desktop chips.
At the end of the day, it's clear that Samsung has to partner with MediaTek and expand its Exynos team so that it doesn't have to depend on Qualcomm. This would allow them to reduce prices and still deliver flagship performance.
