Samsung has yet to launch the Galaxy S26 series; meanwhile, Galaxy S27 Ultra’s reports have already started blowing in the market, revealing its Snapdragon chip may use TSMC’s advanced 2nm process.
Ritually, Samsung launches the latest Galaxy S-series every year in early Q1; for instance, it launched the Galaxy S24 lineup last year, the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, and the Galaxy S26 series is expected to be announced next year. Following the same strategy, the company is supposed to launch the Galaxy S27 series in 2027.
A reliable tipster, Digital Chat Station, reveals that Samsung is highly anticipated to equip the Galaxy S27 Ultra with Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Processor. According to the report, this chipset will use TSMC’s advanced N2P (2nm) process technology, skipping the N2 (2nm) node.
If the report comes true, it means that Qualcomm skips the N2 process and goes straight to the more advanced N2P node. In case you missed it, the N2 node is TSMC’s first node to adopt GAA nanosheet transistors.
However, building on the same design strategy, TSMC also introduced the more advanced N2P process, offering 5% performance boost over N2. On the comparison side, the N2P delivers up to an 18% speed improvement and a 36% reduction in power consumption than N3E.
The tipster also revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage. Since Samsung has yet to release any statement regarding this report, it remains to be seen what will happen next.
