AFME 2.0: A New Level of Game Graphics
The technology will be based on Qualcomm’s Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 (AFME 2.0):
- Features:
AFME 2.0 will handle frame interpolation directly on the GPU, without the involvement of external chips or CPUs. - Benefits:
This will reduce power consumption, reduce the thermal load on the device and provide stable gameplay without sacrificing performance. - Differences from competitors:
Unlike iQOO, which uses a separate chip for interpolation, Samsung will apply Qualcomm’s GPU-centric solution, making the process more efficient.

Samsung Galaxy S25 specs
- Chipsets:
- The entire lineup may get the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which supports AFME 2.0.
- But there is a possibility that the base models (S25 and S25+) will be equipped with Exynos 2500 or Dimensity 9400, depriving them of this technology.
- Memory and performance:
- An increase in RAM without increasing the price, which will improve multitasking and gaming performance.
- Optimization of heat and energy balance:
- AFME 2.0 technology will reduce the load on the battery and CPU even with increased gaming demands.
Possible market impact
- Competition with iQOO:
iQOO already uses frame interpolation technology with a dedicated chip, but Samsung’s approach promises a more harmonious combination of power and energy efficiency. - Technology availability:
If only the Ultra version gets Snapdragon 8 Elite, key gaming features won’t be available in the lower-end models, which could limit their appeal to gamers.

Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series with Qualcomm’s AFME 2.0 has the potential to set a new standard for mobile gameplay, delivering a smooth gaming experience without sacrificing battery life. How this technology will prove itself in practice, especially when compared to competitors’ solutions, will become clear upon release. If Samsung delivers on its promises, the Galaxy S25 could be the perfect choice for mobile gamers.
