Samsung is supposed to debut its next-generation flagship Galaxy S26 series in early 2026 which is anticipated to be based on Exynos SoC.
Recently, Samsung debuted the latest Galaxy S25 series which is entirely powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset worldwide over its in-house Exynos SoC. Now a new report from The Bell, revealed that the Korean tech giant is working on stabilizing the yield of the Exynos 2600 chipset using the SF2 process.
Reportedly, the company could start mass production of this process and its third-generation GAA technology by the end of this year, to be ready for the launch of the new flagships in early 2026. It’s expected that this process will offer notable improvements by producing a 12% performance boost, a 25% increase in power efficiency, and a 5% reduction in size.
A few weeks back it was reported that Samsung Electronics had succeeded in achieving higher-than-expected initial yields in its recent SF2 (2nm) test production and it has secured a yield in the 30% range in the Exynos 2600 initial test production.
Now the company is continuing the ‘Exynos 2600’ yield stabilization test that hints that it is aiming to mount the chipset on the Galaxy S26, which is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of next year.
The company could also use Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to power the Galaxy S26 series in selected regions. However, Samsung has yet to release any official statement regarding this so it remains to see what happens next.
