Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy S25 series in January with its shift in terms of processor. A South Korean tech conglomerate brand started using its in-house Exynos-branded chips in the Galaxy S24 and previous S series models. The company has decided to adopt Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite in the entire Galaxy S25 lineup for all markets. As per an industry note, Samsung could launch its proprietary Exynos 2600 for the purported Galaxy S26 series. Also Read: Motorola Edge 70 Render Leak; Check Design Changes

Exynos 2600 is indeed planned to be used in the S26. Currently, due to reportedly low yield, it is likely to be equipped mainly in European models. An industry source emphasized that even in the AP for the S26, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon shows a ‘clear’ performance advantage over Exynos. According to my estimation, after Samsung equipped the S25 entirely with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and dropped the Exynos 2500, the aftermath led to System LSI—which designed the Exynos 2500—incurring an estimated loss of around $400 million from this single incident. @Jukanlosreve.
The Application Processor (AP) for the Galaxy S26, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, reveals a “clear” performance advantage over Exynos; however, exactly which chip was tested remains unknown.
