For comparison, the Galaxy S24 Plus 256GB was launched at $999.99 and its 512GB variant was at $1,119.99.

The 6.8-inch Galaxy S24 Ultra base 256GB variant was $1,299.99 and its 512GB storage variant was at $1,419.99.

Moreover, the use of a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor on all S25 models around the globe is also one of the key factors in an increase in cost.

The next-gen Qualcomm beast is likely to cost significantly more than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 chips inside the S24 family.
