- A new report suggests an increased likelihood of the Galaxy S26 series adopting the Exynos 2600 processor.
- Samsung is believed to have achieved a 30% yield rate when producing the Exynos 2600 as part of a test.
- This would be an improved yield rate over the Exynos 2500, which was apparently dropped from the S25 series due to yield issues.
The Galaxy S25 series is officially available in stores around the world today (February 7), and one notable feature is that all models are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. That’s a major change from last year when some S24 and S24 Plus variants had Exynos chips. Now, it seems like Samsung could be inching closer to Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 models.
Korean outlet The Bell (h/t: Jukanlosreve on Twitter) reports that Samsung has achieved a yield of more than 30% in test production of the 2nm Exynos 2600 processor. The yield rate refers to the percentage of produced chips that are fully working.
