Samsung's Orion processor can be said to be very bad in the past few years, basically no mobile phone will use Samsung Orion processor, even Samsung's own Galaxy S series mobile phones will only be used, which makes Samsung's semiconductor department very embarrassed, and Samsung has also said on many occasions that the future will make the Orion processor turn over. However, now it seems that this small goal is a bit difficult to achieve, due to the lack of its own technology, the Orion processor cannot meet the needs of mobile phone production, so Samsung's next-generation S25 mobile phone is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor.

Some analysts pointed out that Samsung is expected to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen 4 processor on the next generation of flagship mobile phones, that is, Galaxy S25 mobile phones, one of the important reasons is that Samsung's process technology is not strong, mainly because the yield is not good, resulting in chip supply can not keep up with the production of mobile phones. Although the Orion 2500 processor was better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 in some projects in early testing, and Samsung was desperate to get rid of Qualcomm's dependence, this hope was dashed by its own craftsmanship. It is reported that Samsung's own 3nm process has certain disadvantages compared with TSMC's 3nm process, not only the yield is far lower than TSMC, but also the performance is about 10-20% lower, which is obviously an unacceptable achievement for Samsung.

After thinking about it again, Samsung still seems to have decided to launch all the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processors, after all, it is important to ensure the stable supply of Galaxy S25 mobile phones first, and Samsung's market share in the world is also shaky, if it overturns because of the processor, it will be worth the loss, so although there is news that the offer of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor continues to rise, Samsung also has to pinch its nose to purchase a large number of Qualcomm processors.
