Sep 2, 2024BF3F-0074Partly right

The Exynos 2500 would not be ready on time, forcing the Galaxy S25 series to use Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 across the lineup.

Did it turn out to be true?

Partly right. Some of this was right and some of it was not. It was reported on Sep 2, 2024 in ITHome, and we could not tell who reported it first. That was 142 days before Samsung Galaxy S27 was announced on Jan 22, 2025. Samsung shipped Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy across the S25 lineup, so the all-Snapdragon outcome was right. Samsung did not publish that an Exynos 2500 readiness failure 'forced' the decision, so the causal portion remains unresolved.
