Samsung is already developing its next-generation major S lineup models, the Galaxy S26 series, which has been in the headlines for quite some time now. Among certain leaks and rumors, it looks like Samsung is supposed to begin mass production of its 2 nm-based Exynos 2600 chipset, which is all set to be featured in the Galaxy S26.
The upcoming flagships are already set to have a major rebranding, where the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the new names; Samsung is probably showing signs that its first-ever 2nm-based in-house Exynos 2600 will power the Galaxy S26.
According to the information presented by a Korean news outlet, Fnnews, Samsung Electronics held an internal meeting with some industry sources and has perhaps confirmed that it has completed the internal development of its next-generation chipset, the Exynos 2600, while also mentioning that the mass production of this chipset is scheduled to begin by the end of this month.
Samsung also emphasized the exceptional performance of the Exynos 2600 chipset and stated that this newest processor will offer a superior performance when compared with its predecessor, the 2500. This apparently shows a clear sign that the upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S26, will feature this next-generation chipset anyway.
At the same time, the new Exynos 2600 becomes the first flagship-based chipset to infuse Samsung Foundry’s 2nm-based GAA process mechanism, which is significantly expected to produce more powerful performance and heat control to provide an improved power efficiency. Also, due to the application of the Heat Pass Block (HPB), a new thermal management solution, the Exynos 2600 will offer more stability.
Well, previous reports believed that Samsung is possibly planning for a double-chipset strategy for the Galaxy S26 series, where the Galaxy S26 Pro as well as the Galaxy S26 Edge will feature the new Exynos 2600 chipset, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 SoC.
