[Report] Samsung starts 3nm Exynos 2500 production, but it may not power Galaxy S25

Samsung 3nm Exynos 2500 Production

Samsung started mass production of Exynos 2500 using its cutting edge 3nm process node, Seoul Economic Daily reports. While the production commenced as an unexpected development, the chip won’t power the Galaxy flagship that you think.

According to the report (via Jukanlosreve), Samsung Foundry recently kicked off Exynos 2500 AP’s mass production using wafers at the Hwaseong S3 facility with 3nm process tech. The processor is expected to be featured in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year.

Last year, Samsung announced the Exynos 2500 will be made using a 3nm process node. It was anticipated to power the Galaxy S25 series. However, the low yield rate led the company to push the commercialization to the Z Flip 7.

This development could provide both expanded use of the chip, valuable mass production experience, and increased revenue. It could also serve as a stepping stone for the 2nm products scheduled for mass production next year.

Fabricating flagship SoCs usually takes about 5 to 6 months. That said, the timeframe aligns with the tentative Galaxy Z Flip 7 debut in July next year. The MX Division reportedly planned to ship 3.9 million units of the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip FE next year.

An industry insider stated, “This suggests that the MX division has concluded that the Exynos 2500’s performance is suitable for the new smartphone and has placed an order with the DS division.”

It’s a bold move by Samsung that could provide a lifeline to the Device Solutions Division. The company’s semiconductor business has been struggling in the recent past, particularly in the foundry and system LSI business units.

Although mass production of the AP has started, it is reported that yields are currently unstable, hovering around 20%. The lower yield rate harmed Samsung much as it left out winning clients for 3nm product manufacturing this year.

Samsung research reveals accessibility crisis in UK tech market

Published

Samsung

A recent Samsung study shows that the lack of accessibility in design is excluding millions of consumers from products, services, and experiences in the UK. It’s a wake-up call for brands operating in the United Kingdom to revisit the design approach.

Samsung and OnePoll surveyed 1,000 adults with invisible and visible disabilities (accessibility issues) in the UK. The study reveals that over 68% of survey participants have felt excluded from products or services due to accessibility issues.

Key takeaways:

  1. 55% of respondents don’t believe mainstream brands are invested enough in making products that cater to individual needs.
  2. 54% don’t think companies understand which accessibility features are important for consumers with disabilities.
  3. 80% claim major brands could be missing out on millions by not thinking about inclusive design for consumers with disabilities.
  4. 72% of consumers surveyed have abandoned a purchase due to a product’s lack of accessibility.
  5. 56% are willing to pay more if they find a fully accessible product.

The Korean tech giant highlighted that UK tech brands are missing a trick here. The spending power of disabled people and their households – known as the purple pound – is estimated to be worth a staggering £274 billion a year.

Samsung continuously works on enhancing accessibility across its products. From mobile devices to smart TVs and shopping apps to services, all are optimized for people with disability. This user-centric approach inspires many brands out there.

Galaxy phones feature useful and intelligent accessibility features. Samsung also brought universal gestures to Galaxy smartwatches. The brand-new Galaxy Ring is the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to accessibility.
