🚀 Galaxy S26 to Feature Exynos 2600 — Six Times Faster Than Apple’s Chip

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, launching early next year, will debut the Exynos 2600 across all models, including the Ultra—its first flagship Exynos use since 2022.

📱 Key Points

- Exynos 2600 confirmed for S26, S26+, S26 Ultra
- 50% split: Qualcomm in U.S., Japan, China; Exynos in Korea & Europe
- Built on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm process
- Marks Samsung’s return to in-house APs after S23 & S25 skipped Exynos

🔧 Performance

Internal tests show:

- NPU: 6× faster than Apple’s A19 Pro, ~30% faster than Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite
- CPU (multi-core): +14% vs A19 Pro
- GPU: +75% vs A19 Pro, +29% vs Snapdragon

The chip’s redesigned architecture emphasizes AI performance, positioning Samsung ahead in the AI race.

🏭 Business Impact

- Boosts Foundry & System LSI, which saw ~₩2T losses in H1 but narrowed in Q3
- Cuts reliance on Qualcomm, saving billions (₩10.9T spent on APs last year)
- Strengthens Samsung’s AI ecosystem, following the Galaxy S24 “AI phone” launch

🌍 Strategy

- Exynos: Korea & Europe
- Qualcomm: U.S., Japan, China (for regulatory ease)

🔮 Outlook

Samsung’s semiconductor future looks strong:

- 2026: Production of Tesla’s AI6 autonomous driving chip
- Apple deal: Supplying iPhone image sensors
- Recent contracts: $16.5B Tesla supply deal + Apple partnership
