Now, a reliable tipster, Jukanlosreve, shared a text post on X, revealing that Samsung will power the Galaxy S26 with an in-house Exynos 2600 chipset in Europe, whereas for the rest of the regions, it will go for Snapdragon again.
According to the report, the Exynos 2600 chip will be used for the Galaxy S26, but due to the yield impact on the 2nm process, it will potentially only be shipped in the European market.
