Maybe it's more optimized than what we've seen in the S24 models

Download and upload speeds are correct, its the model number for the Modems that are wrong. Exynos 2400 uses Shannon 5153 modem. Exynos 2500 uses Shannon 5163 modem. Exynos modem lineup like 5300 and 5400 are external, they're not built-in inside the Exynos chip, they are only used by other companies like Google, Samsung used external Exynos modems only like 2-3 times before.

Exynos 2500 will be a big step from 2400.. 3nm Vs 4nm It's will not take the crown from SD Elite, but it will compete with MT 9400, which is a good thing Getting 90% of SD Elite power is more than enough It's like S25+ $1000 Vs $700 for S25 FE, which has like 95% of features for 70% of its price Rumors say they improved the Exynos 5G Modem, but only time will tell (maybe some reviews later) Am guessing they will improve efficiency a little bit compared to 2400, like 10% more efficiency or so, which will result in a less warm phone & longer battery In shorter words.. this 2500 might get MT 940o single core power, but it's slightly more efficient (7w for 2500) Vs (8w for 9400) thanks to using 10 cores of 2500 (A520 & A725) are more efficient compared to X4 that 9400 use

The upgrade may not be worth it, since the S24 series are getting 7 full years of support - except there is an improvement in the modem though.
