It's very likely that we'll see the yet-to-be-announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 application processor (AP) powering the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra early next year. The new Qualcomm AP, designed for flagship Android phones, will be unveiled at this year's Snapdragon Summit in October.
It seems Qualcomm is focusing more on power efficiency with the new chipset rather than performance. This may be in response to users increasingly demanding longer battery life on their devices.
While performance will still be important, this could signal a shift in focus for mobile processor design. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP is expected to have a number of new features and improvements over its predecessor. These may include improved artificial intelligence (AI) performance, faster network and graphics performance, and improved battery life.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, powered by this new chipset, would be able to deliver an incredible user experience with its combination of a powerful processor, improved battery life and Samsung's familiar screen magic.
We will surely get more information about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP and its capabilities when it is unveiled at the Snapdragon Summit in October. Until then, we can only speculate how it will improve Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
