Despite the many, many fake Geekbench scores we’ve seen for the upcoming Samsung Exynos 2600, it is shaping up to be a pretty impressive chipset.
According to the latest leaks, the chip is going to be able to support a 320-megapixel camera, as well as 8K video recording at 60fps with HDR+. Of course, the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t have any of that, so why include it in this chip? Well, Samsung could include it in the future, and Samsung might also be looking to sell its Exynos chips to other smartphone makers.
In addition to a single 320-megapixel sensor, it can also support up to three 108-megapixel camera sensors. Which would make for some pretty incredible photography. This is made possible by the ISP that is built into the Exynos 2600.
Apparently, Samsung has redesigned its entire imaging stack “bringing console-class GPU rendering, AI-driven image synthesis, and pro-grade RAW control under one unified ISP-NPU pipeline.”
This would make the Exynos 2600 support higher-res sensors than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which can do triple 48-megapixel cameras, 108-megapixel single camera video, and 320-megapixel single photo capture. It’ll be very interesting to see how the two ISP’s work together.
Samsung is finally getting serious about Exynos
For years, the Exynos chips have been the laughing stock of the tech world. Simply because they were not as efficient, nor as powerful as the competition from Qualcomm and even MediaTek, Samsung used to use both Exynos and Snapdragon for its flagships, and those in the UK would import the Snapdragon version because it was so much better, especially when it came to battery life.
Now, with TSMC struggling to keep up with demand, Samsung is looking to steal some customers away from TSMC when it comes to 2nm process in the next few years. We’ve already written about Samsung investing in the machines needed to produce 2nm chips, and now we’re seeing that the Exynos 2600 might be an actual beast. Is Exynos back?
