There's been a lot of talk regarding whether or not Samsung will go all in with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for its Galaxy S25 flagships or prefer a Snapdragon/Exynos split. Last month, a reliable tipster said all the Galaxy S25 models will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but we now wonder if that's going to be the case since the Samsung Galaxy S25+ has again popped up on...
