Samsung has just confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will use the Exynos 2600. Well, more or less confirmed it. The company said, during its Q3 2025 earnings release, that it will “strengthen the competitiveness of the Exynos processor for key flagship models.”
That’s not all, though. Samsung also teased “next-gen AI” and “new camera sensors.” So, it seems like the Galaxy S26 series will also deliver new camera sensors, despite what the reports are claiming.
Samsung more or less confirmed that the Exynos 2600 will fuel the Galaxy S26 series
Samsung does not specifically mention the Galaxy S26 series here, of course, but this is more than revealing. The only ‘flagship’ models that the company has to offer are the Galaxy S26 series phones and its foldables.
While it’s possible that the company was talking about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 here, that statement is almost certainly aimed mainly at the Samsung Galaxy S26 series phones.
At least the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are expected to utilize this chip, but the Galaxy S26 Ultra is also said to use it, based on the latest reports. That chip is allegedly part of the reason why the company opted to postpone the launch of the Galaxy S26 series.
The phone will, allegedly, arrive in late February or early March, instead of launching in January next year. We still don’t know if there’s any truth to those rumors, but it certainly seems like it.
The Exynos 2600 showed us its muscles via Geekbench quite recently
Speaking of which, the Exynos 2600 surfaced on Geekbench once again recently. It showed higher results than last time. It’s high enough for users not to be worried about the sheer power of this processor.
The thing is, we’re hoping that it will do good in the power consumption sector, and the same goes for thermals. That’s where it needs to match the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500. Well, at least come close.
The Exynos 2600 was not announced just yet, we’re still waiting for Samsung to do that. It is expected to be a 2nm processor, though, compared to 3nm chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
