Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Could Debut With 2nm Exynos 2600 Chipset: Report

Samsung Galaxy S26 series could debut in the next two years with a next generation 2nm chip, according to an ETNews report. The South Korean publication reports that Samsung is working on a 2nm node for a new Exynos chip that could enter mass production in the second half of 2025. The company is yet to launch a smartphone with a 3nm Exynos chip — the current Galaxy S24 lineup that was introduced earlier this year runs on 4nm Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips in different markets.

According to the ETNews report (in Korean), Samsung is developing a 2nm node for a chip that is expected to debut on the Galaxy S26 series of smartphones in early 2026. The smartphone maker’s advanced chip is reportedly codenamed ‘Thetis’. Rival chip manufacturer TSMC is also said to be working on its on 2nm node, but there’s no word from both companies on when they will be ready for production.

If these claims are accurate, the Exynos 2600 will compete against the supposed Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, MediaTek Dimensity 9500, and Apple’s A19 Pro chips. It could also arrive as the successor to the Exynos W1000 chip that is said to power the successors to the Galaxy Watch 6 series that is likely to launch later this year.

We can speculate that the rumoured Exynos 2600 chip will be equipped with a Cortex X6 ‘Prime’ core from Arm, which could also arrive on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip — Apple and Qualcomm use customised chip cores.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Samsung plans to launch its Galaxy S25 series of smartphones next year with a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip that could offer better performance than the purported Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. It is currently unclear whether Qualcomm’s next flagship mobile processor will be built on a 3nm node. Meanwhile, the same report also said the Galaxy Watch 7 would also arrive with a 3nm Exynos W1000 chip.

When Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series was launched earlier this year, gaming tests revealed that the gap between flagship Exynos and Snapdragon chips was closing. The test involved popular games including Fortnite, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, PUBG New State, and Call of Duty: Mobile. Both the Exynos 2400 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on Samsung’s flagships offered similar performance in those tests, according to the report.

Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy Watch 7 to Be Equipped With 3nm Exynos Chips: Reports

Samsung Galaxy S25 could be launched with a next-generation mobile processor built on the company’s 3nm technology, according to a report. The company’s upcoming flagship grade Exynos chip is expected to offer better efficiency than its Qualcomm counterpart, which is expected to arrive by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the South Korean tech conglomerate is reportedly planning to equip its purported Galaxy Watch 7 series with a new W-series 3nm chip that could offer improved efficiency compared to previous models.

According to Business Korea, Samsung is working on equipping the purported Galaxy S25 series with a 3nm Exynos chip. As a result, the Exynos 2500 could power the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ in international markets, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be equipped with the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. In the US, all three models could arrive with a Snapdragon processor.

While it’s still too early to predict performance and efficiency of the successors to the Exynos 2400 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips, the report states that Samsung’s next processor for flagship phones could outdo Qualcomm’s chip in the power efficiency department.

The successors to the Galaxy S24 series might not be the only products from the company to arrive with a next-generation Exynos chip. The Korea Economic Daily reports that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 will be the first wearable from the company to be equipped with a 3nm processor.

Samsung’s rumoured 3nm chip for the Galaxy Watch 7 series will reportedly be called the Exynos W100, which suggests that it could offer notable upgrades over the W900-series chips that power the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4 models. It will reportedly offer a 20 percent improvement in power and efficiency, thanks to Samsung’s second-generation 3nm process node.

Both the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the Galaxy Watch 7 aren’t expected to arrive until next year, which means that a lot of these leaked details could change. We can expect to learn more about the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy Watch 7 series, including specifications and details over the coming months.

Samsung Refutes Tipster’s Claim That It Will Rebrand Exynos Chips: Report

Samsung’s semiconductor arm has reportedly refuted a claim made by a tipster on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the company was planning on rebranding its Exynos chips. The South Korean technology conglomerate has also clarified that the company does not plan to rename the chips used on many models in its smartphone lineup and that all rebranding related rumours are false. Samsung’s Exynos mobile processors compete with MediaTek and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips — these are also used to power some of Samsung’s handsets.

On Tuesday, tipster @oreXda posted on X that Samsung was planning on rebranding its Exynos mobile chips to “Dream Chip” or “Dream”. However, the company rubbished the claim in a statement to Android Authority. “The rumour on rebranding is not true. For your reference, the mentioned brand name [Dream – ed] is simply an internal project name,” Samsung told the publication.

The company further confirmed that all rumours related to the company’s plans to rebrand the Exynos family of mobile processors “are not true,” in response to another query sent by the website. Samsung has used Exynos chips on its smartphones for over a decade and it appears unlikely that the name of its mobile processors will be changed in the future.

While Samsung’s flagship Exynos chips do compete with offerings from MediaTek and Qualcomm, the performance of its mobile processors has somewhat trailed the other chipmakers. While customers have complained about battery endurance issues and thermal throttling on high-end phones with Exynos chips, the company is tipped to equip its upcoming flagship smartphones with its in-house processors.

According to recent reports, the phone maker is expected to equip some models in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 series of phones with Exynos 2400 chips. Unlike last year, when Samsung equipped all Galaxy S23 models with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, it appears that only the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be equipped with a Snapdragon chip in all markets.

Meanwhile the other models will get Exynos 2400 chips — the only exceptions are China and the US where all three models in the series are tipped to be powered by Snapdragon chips. A recent statement by Qualcomm CEO Christian Amon suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 won’t be the only chip that powers the upcoming Galaxy S24 series.
