Samsung Galaxy S26 to get 2nm SoC ahead of Apple’s iPhone
Apple usually debuts new chipset production processes with its iPhone models. Well, it might not be the same case after 2024, as the Android camp including Samsung could get 2nm SoC ahead of 2026 Apple iPhones.
According to MoneyDJ (via Revegnus), TSMC’s Hsinchu Fab is scheduled to begin construction in the second quarter of 2024 and is expected to enter 2nm production in the fourth quarter of 2025.

TSMC’s initial 2nm chip production capacity could be approximately 30,000 wafers per month. However, these chips may be for Nvidia, rather than Apple, which is set to use 2nm chips in 2026 (probably with iPhone 18).
If the input is correct, Android/Samsung devices will pack the advanced 2nm process-made SoC starting in 2025. Samsung, which releases its high-end flagships in the first quarter could also beat Apple’s iPhone models in 2026.
Samsung’s Plan: 2nm will be mass-produced in 2025, and 1.4nm is scheduled to be mass-produced in 2027; Intel’s 20A using Gate All Around (GAA) technology RibbonFET transistor architecture is expected to enter preparatory mass production in the first half of 2024, and 18A will be mass-produced in 2025.
