News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Malaysia launch

Last week, shortly after the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was launched, Samsung allegedly claimed S25 Ultra could be paired with the Bluetooth-equipped S Pen Pro. Now, Samsung denies the claim. So, what should you know about it?

This week, Samsung officially launched its Samsung Galaxy S25 series in Malaysia, and one notable surprise is the pricing. Starting from RM3999 for the base Galaxy S25, Samsung has adjusted the cost compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 series. The move is a surprise especially with high-end features like the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and advanced camera systems still intact. But why the pricing change, and what does it mean for Malaysian consumers? Read on and find out.

According to Korean media FNN, Samsung may cooperate with MediaTek to customise chips for the Galaxy S25 series of mobile phones because the yield rate of the Exynos 2500 chip is low and cannot meet mass production requirements. Currently, Samsung's Exynos 2500 chip yield rate is still less than 20%, and it is unclear whether it can be used in the Galaxy S25 series of mobile phones in the future.

Rumours on Samsung products have been popping up lately. But it's not just about the upcoming foldable phones. There's also one about next year's Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
