Samsung's chip-manufacturing struggles due to poor yield, leading Galaxy S25 series to switch entirely to Snapdragon this year.
Rumors suggest a potential merger between Samsung LSI and Foundry divisions to tackle deep-seated issues in the chip design arm.
Initial speculation pointed towards merging Samsung MX and LSI, but recent developments indicate a possible Foundry-LSI merger instead.
No final decision has been made, with a merger with Foundry being favored according to sources, as LSI and Foundry were once part of Samsung DS before being separated in 2017.
