During its Q4 2025 Earnings Call, Qualcomm revealed some interesting information about the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. The company said that it will supply “about 75%” chips for the Galaxy S26 smartphones.
Qualcomm says that the vast majority of Galaxy S26 phones will use its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip
That information goes against a previous report which claimed that around half of Galaxy S26 series phones will utilize the Exynos 2600 processor. Based on this information, around 25% of phones will use Samsung’s Exynos chip.
Qualcomm said: “On Galaxy S25, we got 100%. Our assumption for any new Galaxy is always going to be 75%. That is our assumption for Galaxy S26.”
The company seems quite confident this will be the case, and if someone should know (other than Samsung), then it’s Qualcomm. It seems like the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will be used in quite a few Samsung Galaxy S26 series phones.
The Exynos 2600 hasn’t even been announced yet. There have been some reports of yield issues, which could be one of the reasons why so many phones will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Exynos 2600 seems to be a major improvement over its predecessor
The Exynos 2600, based on reports and benchmarks, is a major improvement over its predecessor, though. That chip could finally compete with the best out there.-We’ll wait for it to actually arrive in order to see how it performs.
This will be Samsung’s first 2nm GAA chipset. It even managed to outperform the Apple A19 Pro when it comes to the ‘performance per watt’ metric. It will be interesting to see it in action, that’s for sure.
Now, regarding the Galaxy S26 series. Those three phones were expected to arrive in January. Based on the latest information, however, they will launch towards the end of February. February 25 is mentioned as the launch date, and the event is allegedly taking place in San Francisco.
