Samsung Galaxy S25, S26 and S27 family’s chipset plan rumored

Samsung could use Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Galaxy S25 series globally. Chances are high that the next year’s Galaxy S26 series could not use the Exynos processor. Meanwhile, Korean media revealed Samsung’s chipset strategy for the Galaxy S25, S26, and S27 series.

A new report talks about Samsung’s chipset strategy for future models including the Galaxy S25, S26, and S27 lineup. Exynos 2500 is almost canceled, with Exynos 2600 unlikely as Exynos 2700 is already in the works.

Samsung’s 3nm process node apparently flopped in its second attempt. The Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra’s Exynos chip is manufactured using a 3nm process. However, the yield rate is quite low, which can’t be considered for production.

Samsung is considering equipping the Galaxy S25 family with Snapdragon 8 Elite. Qualcomm has recently made its latest chipset available. It boasts custom Oryon CPU, upgraded NPU and enhanced GPU for exceptional performance.

The South Korean tech giant is already working on Exynos 2700 under the project name Ulysses. This chipset is expected to be manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 2nm process technology.

Exynos 2700 is rumored to feature a 12% performance increase, a 25% reduction in power consumption, and a reduced area size by 8%. The SoC could be mass-produced by the end of 2026 to debut with the S27 series in early 2027.

For now, take this info as a grain of salt.
