Hi, this is Technologytodaynow. A lot of people are interested in the possibility of an Exynos 2600 on the Galaxy S26 series. I have further news about this, so I’d like to take a closer look.
Whether Galaxy S26 series Exynos is installed or not
The most important factor in evaluating the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung Electronics’ main flagship smartphone expected to be released in the first half of next year, is whether or not it is equipped with an Exynos chip. In particular, since the previous model, the Galaxy S25 series, was well-received for being equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, if the Galaxy S26 series is equipped with the Exynos 2600, it is expected to receive a negative response if the performance of the Exynos 2600 is the same as usual when compared to the previous model.
Galaxy S26 series expected to be equipped with Exynos 2600
According to previous reports, Samsung is known to have put a lot of effort into installing the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26. If the Galaxy S25 were not equipped with the Exynos, its sales margin would have decreased, and with Samsung Foundry’s advanced process not performing its role, the installation of the Exynos 2600 became a very important issue. However, recently, a report has been released that the possibility of the Exynos 2600 being installed in the Galaxy S26 has increased.
Exynos 2600 mass production plan
According to an Asian economic report, mass production of the Exynos 2600 will begin in November. According to the report, the Exynos 2600 is the first product to use the 2nm advanced process, and production will begin by the end of this year. The 2nm process used for the Exynos 2600 uses the same Gate Hole Around technology as the 3nm process, and performance has been improved by 12% and power efficiency has been improved by 25%. In addition, the die area has been reduced by about 5%.
Exynos 2600 Production Stability
The confirmation of the mass production plan means that stable production yields have been secured. A Samsung official said that they have confirmed the timing of production and are testing it, and that the yield has improved significantly. When we started testing it earlier this year, we secured a yield of about 30%, and it seems that we have recently reached close to 50%.
Love it or hate it, it’s good that the domestic semiconductor industry is developing, but what’s important to consumers is the performance of the Exynos 2600 chipset. Unless the Exynos 2600 shows incredible performance, it’s going to be hard to close the gap with the Snapdragon. If the Exynos 2600 is installed in the Galaxy S26, we can’t help but hope that it will do well.
